Its active compounds, bitter sesquiterpene lactones—including alantolactone and isoalantolactone—together with concentrated volatile oils, exert a warming, moving expectorant action. This mechanical action assists the lungs in expelling deep-seated mucus from the respiratory tissues while naturally relaxing bronchial tension and calming tight, restrictive chest spasms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThymus vulgaris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (Thyme) is traditionally used to support the upper respiratory tract when dealing with acute seasonal environmental challenges, sinus pressure and scratchy, over-stimulated throats.
