Summary

This study tested whether inhaling thyme oil can help people with asthma control their symptoms and improve lung function. 156 adults admitted to a hospital in Turkey used either a thyme oil inhaler, an empty inhaler, or no inhaler for four days. Researchers measured asthma control, symptoms like coughing and wheezing, and breathing tests to see if thyme oil made a difference.
