Thyme: A Natural Source of Vitality, Supporting Respiratory, Digestive, and Immune Health
Swanson Thyme Leaf contains 500mg of 4:1 thyme leaf extract, standardized for maximum potency. Thyme has been used since ancient times for its anti-infectious, expectorant, and spasmolytic properties. The extract from this plant helps combat bacterial and viral infections in the respiratory tract. The flavonoids in thyme reduce the frequency of coughing and facilitate the removal of bronchial secretions.
Additionally, thyme's volatile oils have a carminative effect, reducing flatulence, bloating, and functional abdominal cramps. It increases bile secretion with a choleretic effect. Ideal for respiratory infections, colds, bronchitis, laryngitis, bronchial asthma, bloating, or hepatobiliary dyskinesia.
Benefits of Thyme:
- Natural Antimicrobial Action:
Thyme is known for its powerful antimicrobial properties, thanks to its rich composition of essential oils such as thymol and carvacrol. These substances activate natural action against a wide spectrum of bacteria and fungi, providing a protective barrier against infections. In addition to inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, thyme also helps in their elimination, thus supporting a healthy environment in the skin, mouth, intestines, and other areas susceptible to infections.
- Relieves Cough and Mucus Removal:
Thyme extract has expectorant properties, facilitating the removal of mucus from the respiratory passages. This is especially useful in the case of productive coughs, where thinning and removal of bronchial secretions are needed. Due to its soothing and anti-inflammatory effect, thyme can reduce irritation of the respiratory passages, improving cough and providing better respiratory comfort.
- Reduces Bronchial Spasms and Intestinal Cramps:
Thyme has antispasmodic effects, making it useful in relaxing the smooth muscles of both the respiratory and digestive tracts. As a result, it can reduce bronchial spasms, providing relief for respiratory conditions such as asthma or bronchitis. It also reduces intestinal cramps and digestive discomfort, promoting smoother digestion and reducing symptoms such as bloating and flatulence.
- Choleretic and Cholagogue Effect - Supports Liver Function:
Thyme stimulates the production and secretion of bile (choleretic effect), which is essential for the digestion of fats and the assimilation of nutrients. Through this mechanism, it supports liver function and contributes to detoxifying the body. Being cholagogic, it helps evacuate bile from the gallbladder, preventing the formation of gallstones and improving digestion.
- Energizing, General Tonic for the Body:
Thyme is a general tonic for the body, providing a dose of vitality and energy. It is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing fatigue, low energy, or recovering from illnesses. Its stimulating and toning properties contribute to improving overall well-being, increasing energy levels, and enhancing physical and mental performance.
