The flowering tops of this shrub are used. Contains essential oil (thymol, carvacrol), flavonoids, tannins, terpenes, phytoestrogens and phytoprogestogens. Attributed properties: expectorant, antitussive (no clinical evidence) Indication European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Commission E: antitussive, expectorant in catarrh and bronchitis. (EMA 2013. WHO 2010 and 1999, Blumenthal 1998)
At the date of last update we found no published data in relation to breastfeeding.
The essential oil is irritant. It contains phytoestrogens with progesterone and estradiol activity (Zava 1998), so it is advisable not to abuse its consumption.
It is widely used as a culinary condiment and in infusion (Zaffani 2006). Given its lack of toxicity at the correct doses (Posadzki 2013), occasional or moderate consumption would be compatible with breastfeeding.
