- This week I introduce a dear friend, Thyme, and explain how best to use him for winter ailments and other issues. I hope you find this video useful. For more information about Danu's Irish Herb Garden visit linktr.ee/DanusIrishHerbGarden where you will find my website and other information.
Music is by Lol Hardiman. You can find him at lolhardimanmusic.com/music and you could subscribe to him on CZcams • The Big Game Lol Har...
Thank you for watching. Let me know if you make anything with Thyme.
I cannot do without thyme. It smells so wonderful!
I agree - and the smell is so comforting.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I find it very calming.
Time for Thyme 🍃Thank You Terri 💐
Hi Sally. Hope you are well.
I love making herbal tinctures. I make lemon balm tincture mostly, but oregano, chamomile, nettle and lavender are also ones I make. Now thyme will be on the medicine shelf this year. Thanks Terri! 💚
It is so satisfying Rose, seeing those tinctures lined up on a shelf or jars of tea lined up in the kitchen.
I love Lemon Balm tea
Perfect timing, I harvested some thyme this morning for drying and now I have so many options. Thanks and blessings.
Blessings to you too Jamie. It's great when synchronicities occur.
This is so helpful! My elderly father has asthma, Weggener's Disease, and now Parkinson's. Anything I can do to help him keep healthy is so appreciated! I'll be making him some thyme honey and an oxymel this afternoon. And I personally have used your recipe for that blackberry oxymel, and I love it. Thank you so much for your giving to us.
Delighted you enjoyed the oxymel - hope your father gets some relief too. xx
Grounding might help
Time to collect my thyme😌Terri I must say I chuckled about your husband not liking the thyme stems in his food- for years I used to place whole sprigs in my tomato sauce and everyone patiently picked them out not saying anything but on a visit to a relative my son commented that their sauce was different from his moms - no sticks and they kindly told him they do not put sticks in their sauce. 😊
I have made thyme honey and it is delicious will try a tincture this year - thank you for sharing your knowledge Terri .💗
Ha ha! Lol is very particular - he says he is discerning. I am much more rough and ready and little bits of chopped Thyme sticks don't bother me!
I have rehashed a typical lemon curd recipe, I use local honey instead of sugar and right at the last moment when the curd is still simmering but off the heat, I put a LOAD of thyme in. I just eat it by the teaspoon when I feel the need. Thyme; gives you more time, ie. longevity.
Oh Moira that sounds great. I have to go and make some Lemon Curd now, just to add the Thyme!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Bless you! I do love it and often give it away as a gift. I want to make thyme vinegar now too!🤣. I often make herb infused oils as well. Mother Nature, absolutely love her🥰.
Dear Moira, I'd like to add that your recipe sounds delicious !
Temp drop here too. Turned on the heater for the first time.
Cup of Thyme tea will warm you up xxx
I put thyme in my eggs every morning. I use fresh when I can and when snow covers the plants, I use the thyme I've picked and dried over summer. I also add it to my mashed potatoes with garlic. Sometimes I add oregano with it. Thanks. I have loved thyme for a long time, and I keep adding more plants to the garden each year because I eat it more as time passes.
I will hunt for Wild thyme or mother of thyme, right now, I just have German thyme. Oh, to look forward to Spring planting. And, about your doggie, Border Collie puppy or mix? So very handsome. Just popped back in today because thyme is one of my favorite herbs to season my chicken bone broth. Unfortunately, I am allergic to all hoofed mammal meat because of chronic Lyme disease so it is my go to, along with turkey, for bone broth. I never cease to be amazed at your herbal fund of knowledge. I have learned so much from you. Have a great week❣️
Thyme is perfect for chicken bone broth. Hope you feel better soon. He's not a puppy anymore, he is a long haired Jack Russell terrier but has the markings of a Border Collie. He is like a little miniature!
i live in RI, USA, looking for wild time, but might be to late….
wild thyme not time!
Have you ever done mushroom broth? Thyme and mushrooms is delicious.
@@RavenStealstheNight I never have made mushroom broth with thyme. Sounds delicious and nutritious. Where did you find your recipe? I would love to try it. Thanks for the suggestion. Having a mammal meat allergy, but it is a bummer because I am allergic to shell fish too and seaweed, anything with iodine. So, I tell everybody, if it does not fly, swim or hop I cannot eat it. I am a creative cook. I have Celiac Disease so no gluten, highly reactive. My husband says that the list of what I can eat is shorter than the list of what I cannot eat. Determined herbalist, you can make food amazing if you know about herbs.
Thank you for sharing Terri. Your information and love of the herbs and nature always inspire. I mostly use thyme for a steam or inhalation when our sinuses are inflamed but the oxymel sounds delicious and I am excited to add that to our winter apothecary.
Thanks Trinalea, yes steam inhalation and burning to cleanse the air. Too much to mention in one vid xx
Thyme has always been one of my favorites ❤️ Love it in stew ❤️
Thank you Terri ❤️
Me too!
Thank Y'all for sharing. I well have to find some time for thyme . Have a fantastic day

I learned so much about thyme and other uses that I haven't heard about. Thank you very much for sharing.
You are welcome Liddia. Thanks for watching.x
Mmm thyme honey sounds fantastic...May have to make some :) Ive always been fond of the tiny, less showy, seemingly secretive plants: thyme, eyebright, speedwell...Thank you for another video :)
Dave
Dave
It amazes how beautiful they are when you take the trouble to bend down and really see them.
Luv different uses thank you
Hi Midnight - and many more!!
Thyme tea helps your breathing while you’re drinking it. I like garbling herbs because it forces you to be quiet and still You focus on the plant’s healing powers as you prepare it.
I agree - those little time consuming tasks that make us slow down and fall into meditation.
You are so inspiring Danu. Presenting us with the ingredients for self preservation and determination. Love you so much ❤️ thank you sister x
Thank u so much.
You're very welcome. Hope you have some Thyme for those end of winter sniffles. xx
I don't like to stalk channels and comment everywhere but I just feel happy and content watching your videos.
That's such a lovely compliment, thanks so much x

Thank you Terry for the great advice on Thyme.
You're welcome!
I love your kitchen! So cozy and like many wonderful meals and herbal concoctions have been made there. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Debbie. Everyday just about!😂
Hello Terri, I have just found your interesting videos! Whilst on holiday in Crete a few years ago I became a huge fan of the Thyme tea they had there! I was told that the Thyme was collected along with other herbs from the mountains. Thyme is one of my favourite herbs for cooking, I didn’t realise it had so many other uses. Thank you ! ❤️from Cornwall.
Thank you, beautiful! Your knowledge is phenomenal and appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely ideas thanks Terri x
You're welcome!
Sending a greeting from Canada. I love your videos. I learn so much from you Terri and I really appreciate the time you take to make videos to educate us and at the same time give us a glimpse of your area of Ireland. Thank you Terri and Lol for the lovely music and photography.
Catherine, thank you very much for kind words. Thanks for letting us know you are enjoying them x
Excellent video, Terri! 💓 Thank you very much! ☕️🌿🍁🍂
Thank you Ellemski. Stay well xx
Thank you! I just made some Thyme honey! So excited to have this for the winter!
Me too! Feeling all prepared but might go on and infuse some oil. So much to work with!
Love Thyme. Never heard of an oxymel. Fixing to watch your video on that. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing 🌱💚I have to grow more thyme next year. At the moment I'm growing only one pot on the balcony.
Thank you Terry 🌿
Hey Wendy - you are very welcome. x
My very FAVORITE! 💗💓💗💓 as you may have guessed! 😏 perfect timing! I have just harvested my lot….thank you sweetie….have a great week!
Just found your wonderful videos! thank you for these amazing informative vids. I have just started getting into Herbs and what I can use them for.
Congratulations on stepping on to the herbal path. Enjoy the journeyxx
Thanks...
You're welcome!
I learn so much from you love your videos and I am ready to make this oxi meld with some of my thyme thank you.
Go for it!
Terri, thank you for yet another wonderful video. Your videos are always so calming for me, but also extremely informative, and your connection with nature makes your channel one of my favorite channels on youtube. I've been feeling really called to my little thyme plant, and your infusions have inspired me to make some thyme vinegar to cook my poached eggs with (among other things). 🌿
That sounds delicious. I'm going to try that too. xx
Thank you
You are welcome Shella.x
Love this one…I have so much thyme in the garden…can’t wait to get preserving💕
Enjoy the process!
I like making thyme tea and drink every couple of days. I love your channel, so glad I found it.
Welcome Christine. I think Thyme tea is delicious too. x
Thank you so much for all of your videos - it is so generous of you to share your knowledge, and they are all just lovely and inspiring. I love them all, and especially the folklore that you share. We just harvested the last honey of the season from our bees here in Nova Scotia, and I'm going to pop outside right now to pick some thyme to infuse a jar! Thank you again, and take care!
Thank you! I enjoy sharing and hopefully empowering other people. We are, ourselves, all that we need. Blessings to you!
i love thyme in the kitchen for cooking and in teas, and especially for smoking, i just love the scent of thyme 💚💚💚
Thyme is one of my favorites to make into an infused honey when blooming. I just opened her up from the fridge. It makes a whipped honey after being in the fridge. Love that.
Fun encouraging video time for thyme great ideas. I like honey with thyme
Glad you enjoyed it xx
I love cooking with Thyme. Thank you for sharing its medicinal use.
Hope you can use some of the suggestions.x
Thyme honey that sounds lovely, I must pick some thyme and try even if it’s Spring, it’s still jolly cool at the moment.
Thank you Terri for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks for watching Tassie. If you make your Thyme honey now it will be really potent come winter. x
Thyme is so good,Ive also used it to make a herbal tea mixed with bearberry leaves for urine infection,so common in autumn and spring,its really good
Thank you for this wonderful information, definitely a must have for these winter months coming in! Stay safe & healthy, blessings to you & yours ✨💚✨
Blessings to you too Missy!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you!
Bay and rosemary processing this week ,thyme next week .I have never made a thyme oxi meld, but will now 💜
Hello Terri ,thank you for the very interesting video, after watching I went to pick some thyme from my garden ,I have just made the thyme and honey recipe .. lots of inspirational ideas . Thank you . 💚🌹
You're welcome Linda! Enjoy all the tasty treats!
Kia ora and greetings from New Zealand. Toni here and I have just recently found your wonderful 'treasure trove' of a channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love of herbs. It's spring time here in New Zealand, so we're thinking more about the coming growing season. My herbs that have 'slumbered' over the winter are just beginning to pop their heads above ground to say 'hello' again 😃 I have bee hives in the garden, so I'm looking forward to putting so many more herbs in honey. Blessings
Happy springtime Life, Love and Lettuce. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the 'thymely' reminder. I've made my rose hip syrup and now on with this other wonderful aid. I think the thyme really benefits from a good trim too. As ever, a practical and lovely video. Thank you.
Ha ha! I think you are right re the trimming, my Thyme is going better than ever.
I made a raspberry thyme white balsamic vinager. Mix it with olive oil for salad dressing or as an oxymel. Now I will go infuse olive oil with dried thyme. Thank you Terry for all your invalueable wisdom. I'm in Texas or else I would be taking your workshops and please let Lol know his music is beautiful. Does he play mandalin?
I grow thyme in my garden, and mostly use it as a cooking herb, but have also made thyme honey a few times in the past. Thank you for a wonderful and interesting video
You're welcome Hilde, blessings.
enjoy and learn so much from you! thank you so much, stay well till next time❤️
Thanks so much Sharon, you too xx
wild thyme, not wild time😩
Listening to you is just as medicinal as the herbs you promote for healing. Thank you...
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Xx
This past winter I used thyme and usnea tincture. It was brilliant!
A great combination!
Thank you for another wonderful installment. We look forward to your new content each week. We have harsh and snowy winters here and we live in a small apartment with no outside space for growing things. Can you make any recommendations for growing Thyme (or any other herb) indoors during the dark season?
Well I would sow some seeds in spring time and the Thyme will be grown in time for next winter and then keep on a bright window sill but not where there is too much cold air. Best of luck!
I love this life style I miss being in my own village harvesting All summer long fruits and vegetables it is really a healing process ❤️
It really is - you feel better just doing things outside even before you eat or make medicine. xx
Hello there Terri, I'm hoping to grow in pots lot more thyme this year, I really don't have garden space but pots i can in between the chickens and shrubs. I didn't realise that it could help headaches, I suffer badly with also like you my eyes so irritating and tiered also I have a cataract, it really is irritating ..thankyou for such good useful information, I'm so 🙏 grateful.i really love thyme, its so beautiful. I always end up singing the song when I use thyme,,wild mountain thyme 😊. Take care,.oh I really h5yoj are recovering from falling, I know it can jolt many bones .love and blessings, xx
Blessings to you too xx
Thank you Terri!🙂
Thyme is one of my favorite herbs. I cook with it quite often because the flavor isn't as strong as the others. That's also why I put it in my cat's food (she's an old lady like me) when I think she's not feeling well. I may do that for my chickens too. Thyme and mint tea is interesting too.
Blessings always! 💜
Great idea for the chicks! Blessings to you too.
🕊️🌎🤍💫💛🥰God bless your hands 🙌🏽 beautiful Garden Eve Rose 🦋👸🏾🌎🤍🕊️💫
Thank you Eve Rose
So many ideas and suggestions.. Our herbal apothecary thanks you for the new recipes. ' thyme ' to get moving.
Desert love to everyone and Abundant Autumn Harvests 💜🍄🐾🍄💜
Hope you are having an abundant harvest too.
Now I am wishing I had of planted a lot more thyme to make the thyme honey. I dried some and I put part of my plant in a pot of clean potting soil and brought it in to a south sunny winter. Hopefully it continues to grow. Our temperatures are too cold to overwinter thyme outside. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Love spending Thyme with you. hugs.
Thank you for your time spent watching. Hugs to you too🙋
You gave me some new ideas here. I use it summer and winter (also inspired from you) together with other herbs put in honey and winegar. As a child I loved Thyme, my grandmother put it in yellow pea soup. She also put it in a very norwegian recipe, which in this part of norway is called Kompe. She was the only one to put Thyme in it.....and everybody loved it! If a cold is coming up nevertheless, losing my voice : Cups of tea, from fresh or dryed Thyme, cures it very fast.
He certainly does! Thyme is very fast working I find.
I love how the dog eats some grass. My dog is forever eating grass and she helps herself to some raspberries (she's eaten my entire yield of raspberries this year), I adore thyme and I make alot of teas from my herbs especially a thyme tea. It's so warming on a cold winter day after walking my dog
It is perfect for after walking on a cold day - or working outside. xx
Delighted to see a “ money tree” in your garden. It was a magical plant I used to love picking in grandma’s garden. ♥️ Thyme is my favorite herb, I use it in everything and I just love the smell. I must get some local honey and infuse my thyme , could you add lemon slices in with it as well?
I wouldn't because there could be fungus or bacteria on the rind, I would add lemon juice if required.
🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿So lemon thyme isn't as medicinal then? Takes so good.
Your thyme is stronger for sure.
Wonderful as usual❤
Therese from California.
We FINALLY gon a heavy rain.....after months and months and months of sun🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
It's raining here too - but that is not a surprise😂 Lemon Thyme is great in cooking and will definitely be an added health benefit
I have a lemon thyme which is simply dreamy to both smell and taste - I have used this in a honey base and it is beneficial as well... I think I will try an oxymel next winter :)
Love and blessings from Australia x
Blessings to you too Annette!
I put thyme in a soup of roasted tomato, garlic, carrots, onions and beans yesterday and almost feel its goodness the moment I ate it. I never knew just how wonderful thyme is and I have a little bit growing by my front door. Will definitely try it in honey and vinegar. Love your videos, inspiring and informative, thank you x
That soup sounds yummy !
I was just weeding my thyme today. Ill nave to make some of thyme honey, oxymel, and vinegar. I use it and oregano often in my cooking. I must plant more.🌿🌿🌿✨💫✨ TY Terri.
I always think that too, about planting more, when I am with my Thyme plants xx
Lovely video, thank you! It sounds a lot like oregano. Only possibly milder in flavor? I used to use oregano a lot. I would like to try thyme, too.
I use Thyme in most of my meat dishes together with garlic. 👌
Thanks Terri. Learned something new today...I am not a fan of the flavour of thyme/tarragon. Now, I will use the thyme for winter. Bless.💚
I'm sorry you don't like Thyme. Each to their own, but prepare a tincture to get you through the winter, xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Will do!!!💚
I have been very healthy throughout my life (65 yrs) but Covid got hold of me in July 2022. I had avoided it so long and thankfully I got through it with ease. Just a little tired fora few days. However, a month later I began to cough. Then other issues began to show up. Elevated blood pressure and swelling in my feet. My heart is fine but the symptoms continue. I am slowly seeing these symptoms start to diminish but after seeing your video I will be using thyme to help get myself fully back to normal.
Always keep it on hand for winter sniffles
Thank you again very interesting. ..I will do I have french time growing would that be good too?? Cute dog the little black and white. ..great to see you again. Lately I have a morning cough , so I will make the half vinigar half honey to try it out. Thanks .
And take some Thyme tea in the meantime. Or Sage tea.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you very much, you are a great lady. Have a wonderful day.
Great in a tea either alone or mixed w/ other herbs! Is English time good medicinally? Lemon thyme & garlic are awesome w/ chicken!
Oh thank you for sharing, Terri. Here in Belarus we have lots of wild thyme on the meadows, so I gather some every year. But use it mostly in teas. As you mentioned vinegar, I started thinking about making some. Where could I find the detail of this reipe - thyme vinegar? I mean, proportions, ingredients, and steps? Thank you, Ira.
It is very simple. Gather your herbs, (for Thyme we are working with Common Thyme or Wild Thyme) cut them up roughly and place in a jar. Cover with vinegar. That's it. Use the vinegar in your cooking or as a condiment.
💕
Yes I watch many older videos too ❤, but we’re did you get your green overall bibs from , I would love some for when I work outside
Thank U for Clarifying which are The Best Thymes for Medicinal usage.
Do you ever use Savory?
Danu
I would like to get a couple of your products to stop coughs and colds.
Best Wishes Anthony
Hey Anthony - I am sorry but I don't sell my products. Trying to get you to make your own😂
As usual, another very informative and inspiring video...thank you. I am going to be cleaning up the rest of my thyme from my garden bed before winter. I might of missed it but how long does one have to wait for the thyme honey oxymel to be potent enough for use? Also, unrelated to thyme but another great winter/remedy natural gift, can I use my wild rose hips that are dried and whole? I didn't remove the seeds...i left them whole as the process would have taken FOREVER and my only intended use is to put them in a tea bag and create a medicinal tea. My concern was that as they aren't 'opened' the 'good stuff' might be locked inside...maybe steep overnight?
I would wait 5/6 weeks for the oxymel. The Rose hips can be used for tea just make sure you strain carefully to avoid any little hairs. Let them infuse in the hot water for 15-20 minutes to get the "good stuff" xx
Hello from the UK, I have roots in Ireland so love your accent and videos, what kind of vinegar can you use in your oxymel? is it distilled white or will any vinegar have the same effect? Thank you in advance X
Hello Intuitive Artist - I always use Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother as it has its own medicinal benefits so makes the Oxymel more potent. xx
This is great, Terri. Thank you. I have some thyme seeds I got not too long ago. Looking forward to planting them in the spring. Do you have any advice about the growing conditions?
Don't cover the seeds and don't over water, they prefer dry conditions. Best of luck!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you!
