Thyme: Medicinal recipe for respiratory tract infections
Most of us use Thyme in the kitchen with our cooking (if not, you are missing out. It is one of my favorites! SO good), but very few people know that thyme has medicinal attributes as well. The essential oils in Thyme are one of nature’s most potent antimicrobial and antispasmodic substances. Thus, it is good to help cure respiratory tract infections from colds, flus, coughs, tonsillitis, and laryngitis.
Herbal Infused Tea Recipe:
*Infuse 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves OR 2 tsp. fresh leaves in each 1 cup of boiling water. Let it steep for 15-20 minutes. Strain and drink 3 cups per day.

My little Swedish grandma, a health foods nut before they were invented, really believed in the healing effects of yarrow. She used to say “Yarrow is the BEST THING you can DO . . . ” Great post!
