Thymol, a polyphenol that thyme is simply bursting with, stimulates peristalsis so that food doesn’t get stagnant in the digestive tract. A capable carminative & antispasmodic, thyme prevents & alleviates gas and bloating. Its antimicrobial, antibacterial qualities protect us against food-borne illness. Thymol also benefits the respiratory system, helpful when navigating bronchitis or a cough.
Carvacrol, another polyphenol with a substantial presence in thyme, is a superb remedy when dealing with a sore throat. This same compound also supports mood by lifting dopamine & serotonin levels.
Plus, IT ELEVATES THE FLAVOR OF ALMOST EVERYTHING. We’ve woven thyme into salt, hot sauce and fire cider so you can incorporate it into all of your savory cooking or eating. Bon App!
We get ours from Generation Herbs, in Craftsbury, VT, and it’s like nothing we’ve ever seen before.*
