About Thyme Extract
Thyme Extract is prepared as infusion to treat spasmodic cough, laryngitis, bronchitis and urinary infections. It is also used as a decongestant, as a cholagoge, to reduce flatulence and to fight parasites. External uses of thyme include preparations to wash skin wounds or infections. Experience indicates that thyme has stronger antiseptic effects than hydrogen peroxide or phenol. Thyme macerated in oil and applied as poultices has analgesic effects on rheumatism, sprains or stiff neck. Scrubbing with thyme macerated in alcohol has the same effects. Thymol is extensively used in the cosmetic industry to prepare mouth wash and tooth paste.
