How to keep thyme?

There are no guidelines for the proper use of Ovation for medical purposes. Talk to your traditional medicine specialist to make sure in what conditions the olive you are considering can be stored. In general, all types of oysters can be stored as follows:

Dried thyme can be safely stored at room temperature for up to two years, but it quickly loses its aromatic properties after about a year.
Fresh oysters generally last about a week in the refrigerator. As the leaves get older, they start to turn black. Fresh oysters can be frozen and added to foods straight from the freezer.
From this herbal medicine, capsules are also available, which contain on average 250 to 500 mg of Ovion. This product can be stored for a long time under normal conditions.
Thyme essential oil is usually sold in light-resistant amber or cobalt blue bottles. You can store the essential oil in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry room away from direct sunlight. The sun’s ultraviolet rays can damage essential oils.

How much thyme can we consume per day?

How much thyme can we consume per day? And how can we brew thyme? These are two of the questions that may have occurred to you. Maybe after reading the side effects of this herbal medicine, this question has formed in your mind. The appropriate dosage of Ovation depends on several factors such as the user’s age, health and several other conditions. Currently, there is not enough scientific information to determine the appropriate range of doses of Ovation.

You can determine your dosage experimentally. Some people do not experience any side effects despite consuming three glasses of avian tea a day. But you should keep moderation and drink a glass of thyme tea almost every day.

 

Thyme tea only needs two ingredients: fresh thyme and water! You’ll be surprised at how much flavor comes from just two ingredients. This recipe is best made in summer when fresh herbs are available in the garden. Of course, in other seasons, you can find fresh thyme in apothecaries. The procedure is very fast and has three simple steps:

Boil some water in a kettle
Put 8 to 10 fresh thyme sprigs in a glass and pour water over it.
Wait for 5 minutes and then eat it. The exact amount of thyme is a matter of taste and you can use more or less.

What are the harms of consuming too much thyme?

Thyme, with all its unique properties, may not be suitable for everyone. In addition, excessive use of a herbal medicine can be dangerous. When using thyme, keep the following in mind:

Commonly used in cooking, oregano is considered safe when used in normal food amounts. It also seems to be well tolerated in different food forms. However, overdosing on oats may cause stomach upset, muscle cramps, headaches, and dizziness.
Unlike most essential oils, thyme oil can also be taken orally, albeit in limited amounts. Because the oil is concentrated, it may exacerbate known side effects. An abnormal drop in blood pressure may occur if you consume too much thyme oil.
Allergies to oregano oil are also common, especially in people who are sensitive to herbs in the mint family (including oregano, lavender, and sage). Allergy can appear with diarrhea, nausea and vomiting during consumption. When this herbal medicine is applied to the skin, allergic contact dermatitis may occur.
During pregnancy, you should avoid using thyme oil or supplements. Thymol has estrogen-like effects that can affect menstruation and increase the incidence of miscarriage with ovulation. There is no such risk of using thyme in cooking.
As we said, the best way to reduce the possible risks of Ovation is to consult with a doctor of traditional medicine. You can easily and easily communicate with the best traditional medicine specialist from your doctor’s telephone consultation department.

The harm of thyme for the liver

Although consuming thyme is useful for cleansing the liver and using jujube and thyme for fatty liver, it should be noted that medicinal herbs should not be used arbitrarily and in different amounts for a long time. Too much iodine may cause inflammation and swelling in the liver, and a person may need medical treatment.

Disadvantages of thyme for heart and blood pressure

Excessive consumption of olive oil may lead to abnormally low blood pressure. It also increases the risk of heart and vascular diseases in cases of high consumption or allergy to it.

Risk factors and warning of thyme consumption (for whom is thyme harmful?)

Consuming too much of any substance is dangerous, and Avishan is no exception to this rule. For example, in the following situations, you must strictly observe the precautions:

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There is no reliable and sufficient information about the risks of this herbal medicine during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but caution is a condition of wisdom. Therefore, keep in mind the aspects of caution when consuming Ovation.
Children: Children are more sensitive than adults. Therefore, they may be more affected by the side effects of Ovation.
Allergy to oregano and similar plants: People who are allergic to oregano or its other species may also be allergic to thyme and suffer from the side effects of consuming thyme tea.
Hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids: Ovation may act like estrogen in the body. Do not use Ovation if you have conditions that may be worsened by exposure to estrogen.
Surgery: Ovation may reduce blood clotting (through traditional medicine blood clotting therapy used by some people). This increases the risk of additional bleeding during and after surgery. Stop using thyme at least 2 weeks before scheduled surgery.
If you have an upcoming surgery, are suffering from some kind of gynecological disease, are allergic to this plant and its family members, or are pregnant and breastfeeding, it is better to be careful when using avishkeni and consult with a traditional medicine doctor before using it.
