 Thyme Safety and Interaction Information

 Thyme is on the FDA's "generally regarded as safe" list, but large doses may cause intestinal problems such as diarrhea and bloating. If you have those symptoms, reduce the amount you are using until symptoms subside or discontinue use altogether. Exceeding the recommended doses can lead to over stimulation of the thyroid gland and poisoning symptoms. Thyme is safe to use as a seasoning during pregnancy, but strong medicinal doses should be avoided if there is any possibility that you are pregnant.
