RH> breaking up the chest congestion. I looked it up in a booklet we have on
RH> Colonial use of herbs & spices after I got over that case of crud and yes,

Back in the 1990's my favorite herbal resource was PFAF
(Plants For A Future), which says this of thyme:

In particular, thyme is valued for its antiseptic and antioxidant properties, it is an excellent tonic and is used in treating respiratory diseases and a variety of other ailments. The flowering tops are strongly... expectorant.
The plant is used internally in the treatment of dry coughs, whooping cough, bronchitis, bronchial catarrh, asthma, laryngitis...



Others listed on another site are:

* Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
* Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis)
* Plantain (Plantago spp.)
* Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
* Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
* Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra)

I had a friend who made tea with licorice, marshmallow, and slippery elm,
among other things.  It tasted terrible to me, but it worked.

Many of the Yogi Tea blends contain these kinds of herbs.

I think i'll stick to ginger and thyme.
