This plant contains a lot of useful substances, in particular, vitamins A, B, K, P, E, C, magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, flavonoids and phenols.

a cold;

helminthiasis;
flatulence;
asthma;
diseases of the genitourinary tract;

Thyme tea – benefits and harms
Doctors note that thanks to thyme, a person suffering from a cough can improve their breathing – this herb promotes the expectoration process. In addition, it helps fight helminths, stimulates the stomach and can increase libido.
When losing weight, thyme is worth drinking, since this tea, thanks to the nutrients it contains, reduces cravings for food.
Thyme contains vitamin B6, which has a very serious effect on some neurotransmitters (substances through which electrochemical impulses are transmitted) in the brain, directly related to stress hormones.
If you drink thyme every day, the symptoms of stress will become less pronounced and your mood will improve.
Thyme contains a lot of vitamin C (an antioxidant). Thanks to this vitamin, the body stimulates the production of leukocytes (white blood cells), which are an important part of the human immune system.
In addition, this vitamin is necessary for the body to produce collagen, which, in turn, is needed to restore blood vessels, tissues, muscles and cells.
Thyme contains many carotenoids, which is why it is considered beneficial for vision. According to experts, these substances can fight free radicals and, in particular, prevent the appearance of cataracts.
Thyme contains potassium, it is necessary for human muscle tissue to function normally, in particular, we are talking about the heart muscle. This microelement is necessary for the regulation of water-salt balance. It is used to prevent stroke.
Thyme contains a lot of iron, which is necessary in the process of transporting oxygen in the blood. If there is little iron in the body, anemia occurs.
Due to the fact that thyme “accelerates the blood,” it is recommended for men who have problems with erection.
The plant contains phenolic antioxidants, in particular lutein and zeaxanthin. These substances help the body fight free radicals, and thus the risk of cancer is reduced. Thanks to antioxidants, the aging process slows down.
Thyme contains thymol, which reduces the risk of developing viral and fungal infections.
Now you know that thyme tea has very different properties, and it can be drunk not only by people with certain health problems, but also by those who simply want to be healthier and stay in good shape for as long as possible. But you shouldn’t break down and run to look for thyme now – there are a few “buts”. Now is the time to pay attention to the pitfalls.
Who should not drink thyme tea?
It is not recommended to drink tea from this plant:
children under 3 years old;
pregnant women;
those who are prone to allergies;
people with liver, kidney and stomach diseases.
If you want to get benefits from thyme and not harm, consult your doctor before consuming it.
How to brew thyme tea – simple tips
The brewing method is very simple, you will need:
a tablespoon of thyme;
two glasses of water brought to a boil.
Simply pour boiling water over the thyme and wait about 10 minutes. Then you can enjoy a healthy drink.
It is important to remember that you should not drink more than 500 ml of thyme tea per day. In addition, this drink cannot be drunk constantly – it is taken in a course of approximately two weeks. After such a course, it is advised to take a break for approximately 14 days.
We figured out how to brew the most common thyme tea. But it is worth paying attention to the fact that in some cases thyme alone is not enough, and several more ingredients are added to the tea. This more complex drink is considered useful for problems with the nervous system and alcohol.
Is it possible to drink thyme at night?
It is shortly before bedtime that you need to drink a more “vigorous” drink – thyme with lemon balm, chamomile and mint. Just take the ingredients, pour boiling water over them and let them brew.
It is believed that such a “potion” will help calm down people who have a weakened nervous system and will support those who suffer from alcoholism. It is noteworthy that thyme is used only in the first stage of alcoholism. This plant helps tissues recover, since alcohol “hits” the liver hard, this is very important for alcoholism.
