Thyme is one of Nature's antibiotics. At the outset of colds and flu, make an infusion with half a cup of fresh herbs to a cupful of boiling water, cover and stand for 10 minutes, then add a tablespoon of honey and drink while warm. It aids with coughs, too.
This herb also boosts the immune system. Eat it with your meat dishes, use it in marinades for beef and pork dishes, it adds a great lemon aroma and herby flavour to your roast meat dishes.
