      For medicinal purposes it is always possible to add natural thyme oil
into honey.
      What ratio? A possible, strong one is 10-15 drops to 50 grams of
honey.
      These type of mixtures combines the healing properties of honey to the
ones of essential oils.
      In other words, its a combination between apitherapy and aromatherapy,
so we can call it: "api-aromatherapy".
        In my country (Romania) we have already several types of these
"api-aromo" medicinal honeys very useful in the treatment of many human
diseases.

        I believe these types of mixtures can be later exploited not only
for human diseases but also for veterinary ones.
        The bees should benefit too...

        Hope this helps!
