Product description:
The word Thyme derives from the Greek word ‘thymos’ meaning ‘perfume’, denoting the rich fragrance
of the plant. The Ancient Egyptians used Thyme as one of the steps in the embalming and
mummification process since its high thymol content kills off bacteria and fungus. Back in ancient times,
it was associated with courage, bravery and strength. Roman soldiers exchanged sprigs of the herb as a
sign of respect. Both Greeks and Romans burned bundles of thyme to purify their homes and temples.
They also commonly used it medicinally in their bathwater. In the European Middle Ages, the herb was
nestled under pillows to encourage restful sleep for its ability to ward off evil spirits and bad dreams.

to use gloves and shake well as the essential oils won’t be fully dispersed.
