Roman ‘warrior trick’ COUGHS UP an herbal cure for respiratory woes

Your throat is SCRATCHY…

Your chest is TIGHT…

And you’re keeping your spouse up all night with all that HACKING.

It’s not COVID-19… but one of the COUNTLESS other respiratory bugs that could ATTACK during cold and flu season!

Our focus has SHIFTED so dramatically to a single virus during these pandemic times…

It’s like we’ve FORGOTTEN all about all the other germs that could make us sick!

Fortunately, you’re not helpless if you do come down with an upper respiratory infection…

Because unlike the coronavirus, we know A LOT about how they work… and how to get them to PACK THEIR BAGS.

Folks have been battling these bugs for GENERATION UPON GENERATION…

And it’s time to reap the fruits of that knowledge.

Add THIS ancient herb to your arsenal

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is SO much more than a kitchen spice to include in many flavorful, savory dishes.

During the Middle Ages, warriors going off to battle would often receive leaves of the thyme plant as a gift for their bravery.

Legend has it that Roman soldiers would BATHE in thyme to BOOST their courage!

Medieval folk singers praised it, too… along with fellow symbolic herbs parsley, sage, and rosemary.

It’s a respiratory hero – and not just for its ability to send a sore throat PACKING.

Oil of thyme has also been used as a folk remedy for coughing…

And thyme is a potent GERM-KILLER for fungal infections, parasites, and bacteria in your body.

In fact, people all over the globe turned to thyme to protect them from the Black Death.

“Black Death” is the nickname given to a WAVE of bubonic plague that RAVAGED the world’s population in the 14th century.

Its cause? A strain of bacteria.

Compared to the plague… the common upper respiratory infection is an EASY target for thyme!

In fact, thyme is so TIME-TESTED when it comes to respiratory ailments, the European Medicines Agency (kind of like the EU’s version of the FDA) even gives it the “thumbs up”!

And this herbal cure is downright mainstream in some parts of Europe, like Germany.

When your airways are INFLAMED… like in cases of bronchitis…

Thyme can help EXTINGUISH that excess heat… thanks to its content of an anti-inflammatory compound called carvacrol.

It gets antimicrobial power from the same compound that gives thyme its distinctive aroma and flavor – thymol.

Thymol has also proven effective against deadly superbugs.

The traditional preparation for cough is to drink thyme leaves boiled in hot water… as an herbal tea.

You can also add a few drops of thyme tincture (thyme leaves steeped in alcohol) to a small amount of water and drink it.

To open up your airways, you can also INHALE thyme essential oil.

Some studies show how thyme could be even more effective when combined with other herbal ingredients, like ivy leaf.
