Thyme or thyme is a plant widely used in cooking and folk medicine. Its health benefits are due to its rich chemical composition, the presence of essential oils, macro- and microelements in high concentrations. One of the sought-after properties of the plant is its ability to induce vomiting when consumed in combination with ethyl alcohol. This explains the possibility of using thyme for alcoholism.
The healing properties of thyme for alcoholism
The healing properties of thyme against alcohol for men and women are due to its rich chemical composition. The above-ground part of the plant contains:
- essential oils rich in phenols - their concentration reaches 0.2-1.3% depending on the type of plant, cultivation conditions and other factors;
- vitamins of group B, A, C, E, K;
- macro- and microelements;
- tannins;
- flavonoids;
- terpene compounds;
- cellulose.
The properties of thyme as a powerful natural antiseptic help cleanse the liver and kidneys of waste and toxins.Vitamins and minerals provide a general strengthening effect necessary for tissue regeneration and normalization of metabolism.
The tonic properties of thyme are combined with relaxing ones. The nervous system of those suffering from alcoholism is in a very “shaky” state, its restoration, getting rid of psychological discomfort after giving up alcohol is vital.
The benefits of thyme for alcoholism are not limited to the development of a subconscious persistent aversion to alcohol
Compatibility of thyme and alcohol
The effectiveness of thyme for alcoholism is due to the complete incompatibility of the phenols contained in its essential oil with alcohol. The inevitable result of such a “reaction” in the body is attacks of severe vomiting. Therefore, after drinking tea with thyme, its infusion, or decoction, you need to drink a little more alcohol.
A persistent subconscious disgust and dislike for alcohol develops quite quickly. The process takes from 1.5-2 weeks to 2.5-3 months. The subconscious clearly “fixes” the cause-and-effect relationship between drinking alcohol and bouts of vomiting.
However, thyme produces the desired effect in alcoholism only in the required dosage and exclusively in the early stages of the disease, when the body still has a protective gag reflex. In “experienced” alcoholics, the body’s ability to “self-cleanse” in case of poisoning gradually disappears; it “adapts” to the constant presence of the toxin.
The effectiveness of thyme against alcoholism remains even after it has been dried.
How to use thyme for alcoholism
Thyme for alcoholism is used only after consultation with a narcologist and therapist. The first will help determine the stage of development of the disease, the second will help determine the presence of contraindications.
In principle, you can use thyme for alcoholism without the knowledge of the patient, adding the drug to drinks or liquid food, if consent to treatment cannot be obtained from him. In this case, he is frightened by “inexplicable” bouts of vomiting as a clear signal of deteriorating health and the imminent onset of even more terrible consequences of alcoholism.
However, doctors strongly do not recommend this method. Firstly, practice shows that “conscious” therapy, when the patient himself wants to recover from alcoholism, is much more effective. Secondly, there is a real risk of “overdoing it” with thyme, especially if those who want to help do not have complete information about the patient’s condition. This can lead to dangerous health consequences, including cardiac arrest.
The most important thing in treatment is to brew thyme for alcoholism strictly according to the recipe. Next, you need to drink the product (120-150 ml), wait a little and take any alcohol, preferably strong (15-20 ml of vodka is enough). Severe nausea and uncontrollable vomiting begins after about half an hour or a little later.
The “course of treatment” with thyme for alcoholism lasts a maximum of three months, the procedure is repeated 2-3 times a day. Upon its completion, a sharp dislike arises for any alcohol (even in minimal quantities).The result lasts for about a year, then psychomotor function weakens in some cases. Courses will have to be repeated as necessary.
You cannot use thyme alcohol tincture to combat alcoholism.
Thyme infusion for alcoholism
The easiest to prepare and popular remedy against alcoholism is thyme infusion. It is advisable to use fresh leaves, but dried leaves will also work. Approximately 3 tbsp. l. “raw materials” are poured with a glass (200 ml) of boiling water and the container is left under a tightly closed lid, wrapped in a towel. To ensure maximum tightness, it is advisable to prepare a thyme infusion for alcoholism in a thermos. The liquid is left for at least an hour, but it is better to wait 5-6 hours.
Before use, filter the infusion; if bitterness is pronounced, you can add a little natural honey (up to 1 tbsp.)
Thyme decoction for alcoholism
Due to the highest possible concentration of essential oils, thyme decoction, which in combination with alcohol causes vomiting, is considered the most effective remedy for combating addiction. Approximately 15 g of fresh leaves are poured into 0.5 liters of boiling water and kept in a water bath for 15 minutes.
The finished broth is filtered, a little hot water is added, restoring the original volume. It is taken either 2-3 times a day, 120-150 ml, or twice as often, but reducing the “dose”.
As a rule, it takes 1-2 weeks for a patient with alcoholism to develop a stable subconscious disgust when taking thyme decoction

Dry leaves are mixed with regular black or green tea in approximately equal proportions. The tea is brewed by pouring a teaspoon of the mixture into a glass of boiling water and steeped for about ten minutes.
