Thyme steams are powerful medicine. Antimicrobial to the respiratory tract and clears mucous out of the sinuses. Just boil water in a pot, add a handful of thyme. Take off stove, put your face over the pot & put a towel over your head to catch all the steam. Breath deeply 10-15 minutes. Your sinuses will drain and you will feel so much better afterwards! Good as preventative medicine or if you have a runny nose. You can add other herbs too such as rosemary, lavender, mint, ground ivy, pine. After the steam I simmer the herbs on low to disenfect the air in the house. Smells clean & fresh. This is grocery store backyard medicine that most of us have access to! (To be safe, pregnant women should avoid strong volatile oils in thyme steams.)
