Thyme Leaf Tincture - Liquid Extract

HawaiiPharm offers thyme leaf in two liquid formats. The alcohol-free glycerite drops use vegetable glycerin and purified water as solvents, making them suitable for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The thyme leaf tincture uses grain alcohol as the primary solvent, which is the traditional method of herbal extraction. Both are made from the same dried Thymus vulgaris leaf.

Thymus vulgaris, commonly known as common thyme, garden thyme, or English thyme, is a small aromatic perennial subshrub in the family Lamiaceae, native to the western Mediterranean region, including southern France, Spain, and Italy. The plant grows to 15-30 cm in height with small, oval, grey-green leaves densely covered in tiny glands containing volatile oil, and produces small pale pink to white flowers that are attractive to bees. Thyme is one of the most widely cultivated culinary and medicinal herbs in the world and has been grown throughout Europe and beyond for over two thousand years. The genus name Thymus may derive from the Greek thymos, meaning spirit or courage, or from the Greek thyo, meaning to fumigate, as the plant was burned as incense by ancient Greeks; the species name vulgaris means common in Latin. The dominant compounds in the volatile oil of Thymus vulgaris are thymol and carvacrol, two phenolic terpenoids that give the plant its characteristic pungent aroma. HawaiiPharm's thyme leaf tincture is made from dried Thymus vulgaris leaf.

Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. Add the drops to water, tea, or juice before consuming. Shake the bottle well before each use, as natural separation may occur. Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Do not exceed the suggested serving size unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Do not use if you have known allergies to plants in the Lamiaceae family, which includes lavender, rosemary, oregano, sage, and mint - thyme belongs to this family and cross-reactivity may occur. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or nursing, as supplemental doses of thyme have traditionally been associated with uterine stimulant effects; culinary amounts in food are generally considered safe. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you take blood-thinning medications, as thyme may have mild antiplatelet effects. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you take thyroid medications, as compounds in thyme volatile oil may affect thyroid function. Do not exceed the recommended serving size.
