Thyme (Thymol)
Thymus vulgaris · Thymol
A kitchen herb whose essential oil is dominated by thymol, a compound studied for respiratory comfort and its antimicrobial behavior in the lab.
What the research says
Thyme and thymol appear in respiratory and antimicrobial research, often in combination preparations. We use it in a chest-and-throat salve as a comforting, aromatic ritual, not a medicine.
