It is an invaluable medicine for hoarseness, coughs, difficulty breathing and most other lung disorders, being of particular virtue on account of its expectorant powers.

Internally, thyme is useful for respiratory infections, including sore throats, bronchitis and laryngitis, by giving relief to the smooth muscle. In fact, it is the flavonoids found within thyme that directly relax smooth muscle by inhibiting responses to agonists which stimulate specific receptors – such as acetylcholine, histamine and noradrenaline.
