HISTORY FROM "GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

The word thyme has an etymological origin from the verb θύω which means sacrifice. So we understand that thyme was the protagonist in the sacrifices. In fact, when incense was burned on the altars, thyme was smelled everywhere!

The ancient Greeks used to make compresses with honey, vinegar and thyme. Thus, they treated the headaches. They even made drinks from the same ingredients. In this way, they stimulated their brain function.

Characteristic is the advice of Pliny, the Roman aristocrat and historian who advised his fellow citizens a little later, in 77 AD: "If a snake bites you, a compress with thyme will save you"! The Romans, however, insisted more on the ornamental use of thyme. The soldiers perfumed their bath with thyme to stimulate their energy!

In the Trojan War, the gods, according to legend, transformed the tears of the Beautiful Helen into thyme. In another battlefield, in the campaigns of Alexander the Great, thyme was the natural remedy for lice.

A little later, in the 16th century, the women of the time discovered the aphrodisiac properties and offered their loved ones soup with grated thyme and beer! At the same time, they put thyme on the pillows. In this way they fought melancholy!
