Thyme

Size: 8 oz Bag

(Latin Name: Thymus vulgaris)
(Also known as: The Courage Herb, Breath of Purity, Spirit Cleanser)

Brief History & Origin

Thyme is the Herb of Courage, Cleansing, and Sacred Breath, used for thousands of years as both medicine and spiritual protector. The ancient Greeks burned thyme in temples to purify the air and call in bravery before battle. In African, Caribbean, and European folk traditions, thyme is carried, burned, or brewed to cleanse the body of illness, clear the spirit of fear, and strengthen the heart.

Thyme carries the energy of air and fire—sharp, aromatic, and invigorating. It clears stagnation from the lungs, drives out spiritual heaviness, and awakens the life force when the soul feels tired or burdened. Thyme is a warrior’s herb, teaching us to breathe deeply, stand strong, and cleanse ourselves inside and out.
