Spice of the Month; Thyme

Thyme is a low, creeping and lawn-forming herb with little reddish blossoms and has an intense, pleasant smell. 

• Used as a tea, it will refresh the lungs, remove indigestion, flatulence, liver and splenetic complaints and acts as a diuretic.  the usual formula for tea is 1 teaspoon of the herb to 1 cup of boiling water steeped for a few minutes.  Bruise the leaves to release the aromatic oil.
• Thyme is more effective when used with other herbs.  For example, to overcome a budding cold, add thyme to any combination of herbs you use as a cold remedy.  A mixture of Peppermint, elderflower and yarrow would be a great combination to add Thyme to it.
• Thyme tea has a wide range of medicinal uses such as gastric problems of wind, colic, and even bad breath if it is caused by bad digestion.
• Thyme is also an antiseptic, a first aid, reduces fever, is useful for headache and is a great insect repellent.
• For sore throat and post nasal drip, mix honey with thyme tea.  Use a tablespoon several times a day.
• Thyme tea is helpful in overcoming shortness of breath and elimination of phlegm.
• Drink cold thyme tea to relieve a headache
• As a first aid, make a paste of warm moist thyme leaves and apply it to the skin to relieve the pain of an abscess, boil, or swelling.  make a strong thyme tea (one handful of thyme to a pint of boiling water), steep, dip in a folded cloth, apply the thyme compress to the abscess, boil or swellings.  Repeat as often as necessary.
• Mix thyme with lavender to make a anti moth concoction.
• Crush thyme, add to boiling water, steep and strain to use for baths, compresses, or directly apply to the body for sprains and bruises.
