When is wild thyme tea drunk and who is it for?
Wild thyme (majčina dušica) by the brand Planinska is a herbal material for preparing tea in a 50 g pack. It is a single-herb tea without added herbs or flavourings, listed on our website as "Majčina dušica list".
Wild thyme is an aromatic plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae) and a relative of garden thyme. In pharmaceutical literature, Serpylli herba describes the dried aerial parts of the plant, which contain essential oil (with carvacrol and thymol), flavonoids, rosmarinic acid and tannins.
According to the product description, wild thyme tea is useful for colds and flu. In the specialist literature it is traditionally described as an aid to loosening mucus in catarrh of the upper respiratory tract – which is why it is most often drunk in the colder months.
Key benefits:
- Single-herb tea – wild thyme only.
- Pleasant, aromatic taste thanks to the essential oil.
- Traditionally drunk during the cold season.
- 50 g pack for preparing many cups of tea.

How to use
Prepare the tea according to the instructions on the pack. Wild thyme is best covered with hot water, with a lid on so that the essential oil does not escape with the steam, left to steep for a few minutes and then strained.
- Drink the tea warm; if you like, sweeten it with honey once it has cooled slightly.
- Do not exceed the amount stated on the pack.
- Store in a dry, cool place in a well-closed pack so the herb keeps its aroma.
Who is it for?
The tea is intended for adults who want to drink a warm herbal tea during the cold season. It is not recommended for children under 12 without the advice of a doctor or pharmacist, as there is not enough safety data.
It also fits well into the larger amount of warm drinks recommended when you have a cold.
Important notes
- Do not use if you are sensitive to wild thyme, thyme or other plants of the mint family (e.g. mint, sage, lemon balm).
- Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended, as there are no safety data.
- If a cough lasts longer than a week, or high fever, difficulty breathing or purulent sputum occur, see a doctor.
- Sensitive people may experience stomach complaints; allergic reactions are rare but possible.
Pharmacist's advice:
Wild thyme is a pleasant tea for cold days, but it is no substitute for a check-up when a cold "won't go away". If after a few days things get worse instead of better, or fever or breathing difficulties appear, contact your doctor.
Because wild thyme contains essential oil, always prepare the tea in a covered vessel – this keeps the scent and the aroma. Add honey only once the tea has cooled a little.
