Its main active constituents include phenol containing volatile oils such as thymol, eugenol and carvacrol, however, it also contains significant quantities of saponins and tannins which can be attributed to some of the herb’s actions.1 According to laboratory studies, the saponin content of thyme has shown expectorant activity and mucociliary clearance, and the tannin content provides astringent action. The phenolic compounds are responsible for the antitussive and antispasmodic activity,1 which help relieve cough and mild upper respiratory tract congestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eInula helenium (elecampane)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaboratory studies have shown elecampane has expectorant, diaphoretic, antibacterial, spasmolytic and bronchospasmolytic actions.

Its main active constituents include phenol containing volatile oils such as thymol, eugenol and carvacrol, however, it also contains significant quantities of saponins and tannins which can be attributed to some of the herb’s actions.1 According to laboratory studies, the saponin content of thyme has shown expectorant activity and mucociliary clearance, and the tannin content provides astringent action. The phenolic compounds are responsible for the antitussive and antispasmodic activity,1 which help relieve cough and mild upper respiratory tract congestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eInula helenium (elecampane)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaboratory studies have shown elecampane has expectorant, diaphoretic, antibacterial, spasmolytic and bronchospasmolytic actions.
