In earlier times it was much more common than today that people had more physical activity during the day, ate food coming directly from natural sources, and although everyday life was by no means easy, it was not accompanied by the kind of stress we know today. People also knew better how to manage time and perceived it differently.
Today’s times, on the other hand, are typical not only for excessive rush, but also for poor and irregular diets and a lack of active movement. All of this can lead to more or less serious problems, even at a relatively young age.
If you visit a doctor, they may give you advice aimed at changing and improving your lifestyle habits, but usually you leave only with one or more medications that again burden your organism in a certain way. This is also the reason why people increasingly, even in modern times, return to natural sources that can relieve them and are gentle.
The secret of thyme
One of these natural wonders is, for example, thyme, which most of us perceive primarily as an excellent seasoning for sauces and soups. Few, however, know that thyme contains a range of minerals and vitamins and has strong medicinal effects.
The list of illnesses that thyme works against is astonishing; it includes, for example, arthritis, dizziness, fibromyalgia, lupus, thyroid disease, and also chronic fatigue.
Thyme also helps in the human body with colds and rhinitis, lowers blood pressure, helps in the treatment of asthma, and even multiple sclerosis, and supports the production of red blood cells.
From the above it is therefore more than clear that if you include thyme in your diet, you will certainly strengthen your health. We know that it is a spice, but an effective medicinal drink can also be made from thyme and other ingredients.
Medicinal thyme decoction
To make it you will need
- a handful of thyme, fresh or dried
- a glass of water, and
The preparation is simple.
Place the dried thyme or well-rinsed fresh thyme into a bowl and pour boiling water over it. Before straining, let the decoction steep for some time so that the medicinal substances can be released from the thyme. When the drink has cooled, add a little honey to sweeten. The decoction has the advantage that it can be drunk daily without any side effects. You will see that over time you too will notice an improvement in your health.
