Who should consult a specialist before drinking wild thyme? — Thyme 50 g – Farm Group

Wild thyme belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae, also known as Labiatae). If you are sensitive or have an allergic reaction to plants of this family — for example, mint, lemon balm, oregano or lavender — you should be cautious and, if necessary, consult an allergist before adding wild thyme to your diet. It is not used by people who are hypersensitive to its components, and if an allergic reaction occurs, stop using it and see a doctor.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is best to discuss using any herbs, including wild thyme, with a doctor in advance — even if it is just a familiar herbal tea.

If you take medication on a regular basis, it is also advisable to check with a specialist whether regularly drinking herbal infusions is compatible with your treatment.

If you see wild thyme not just as a fragrant drink but as part of a herbal-medicine approach to health, a consultation is especially appropriate. The manufacturer recommends drinking wild thyme after consulting a specialist. The product is not a medicine and is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease.
