Traditional Uses: Traditionally used in ancient and European herbal medicine as an expectorant for coughs, bronchitis, and colds, as a carminative for intestinal gas and indigestion, and as a gargle for sore throats.
Potential Benefits: May act as an expectorant to loosen mucus and as a mild sedative in animal studies, while also demonstrating preliminary antimicrobial, antioxidant, and gastric mucosa-protective effects in laboratory research.
Warnings: The essential oil can cause seizures (even in adults without a history) at high doses; avoid during pregnancy (may stimulate uterine contractions), breastfeeding, and in children under 18 years.
