Abstract: A therapeutic treatment for the treatment of COVID-19 disease, the treatment to be initiated soon after and preferably within approximately twenty four hours after a patient develops the first signs of symptoms comprising but not limited to individually or in combination thereof fever, headache, sore joints, cough, fatigue, chills. The treatment consists of the oral administration of an extracted component or a combination of extracted components of an herb thyme leaf also know as common thyme (Thymus Vulgaris). The treatment is thought to inhibit the replication and activity of the virus allowing the patient to regain normal health and assist in developing immunity to the virus. The treatment is not known to completely eliminate the virus from the patient therefore resulting in the patient possibly developing the same or different symptoms of the disease a second, or more times requiring additional treatments of the disclosed thyme therapeutic treatment.
