Thyme impacts cholesterol without anemia improvementInvestigating the effectiveness of different tea types from various thyme kinds (Origanum onites, Thymbra spicata and Satureja cuneifolia) on anemia and anticholesterolemic activity.
We explored the effects of different thyme types on anemia and cholesterol levels in a study involving Wistar albino rats. The research focused on villagers from the Taurus Mountains who frequently consume thyme, revealing a high prevalence of anemia among them.
The rats were divided into several groups, including those receiving specific thyme extracts and a control group. While the study highlighted different thyme types, including oregano, we found that the primary focus was on the thyme extracts.
Notably, the Thymbra spicata group showed an adverse effect related to anemia, while Origanum onites, despite its inclusion, did not demonstrate a clear beneficial impact on anemia. Our observations indicated that thyme extracts could have a positive effect on cholesterol levels, but there were no significant findings directly linking oregano to improved anemia outcomes.
