I’ve sipped lots of tea in my time. In fact, its one of my favorite past times:British tetley tea, chai tea, Darjeeling tea, raspberry tea, green tea, turmeric Tea just to name a few.
Well my newest is Thyme tea. Thyme tea is rich in volatile oils (Thymol), minerals, phenols, and flavonoids(apigenin, naringenin, and thymonin). In particular Thymol is a strong anti-oxidant. Find mall helps to increase omega-3 fatty acid’s in the brain. Studies have shown that time oil helps to protect age related changes in the brain cells of rats.
