Small, fragrant, and easy to overlook and yet, thyme has been one of humanity’s most trusted herbal allies for thousands of years.

Traditionally burned in temples, brewed in kitchen teas, and hung in doorways for protection, thyme carries a bright, clarifying energy that supports both body and spirit.

In herbal practice, thyme is especially beloved for:
Supporting the respiratory system

Easing coughs and stuck congestion

Warming the lungs + chest

Helping the immune system respond with strength

Supporting digestion after heavier meals

It’s a gentle antimicrobial herb, which means it helps the body move out what doesn’t belong, while supporting what does. A true winter companion.

A simple way to work with thyme:
Pour hot water over a teaspoon of dried thyme, cover, and steep 10–15 minutes. Sip warm.

For congestion, try a steam: add thyme to a bowl of hot water and breathe deeply.

Sometimes the most powerful herbal medicine begins with what’s already in your kitchen.

You’ll find organic thyme on our bulk herb wall and we’d love to help you explore how to use it in teas, steams, broths, or tinctures this season.

Come by the shop or order online to bring this timeless ally into your home apothecary

Prayer Meditation: Calling In, Letting Go with Izzy Martens

Sunday, November 16th, 5:30-7pm

Join us for an evening of deep presence and embodied intention. This powerful workshop is a guided meditation experience designed to help you connect inward, calling in higher purpose and wisdom from the collective consciousness, and offer gratitude through simple movement and prayer.

This moving prayer is simple yet profound: you'll use your body as a vessel to receive the wisdom of the universe and bow in reverence to the earth. The experience will close with time for reflection, integration, and a nourishing savasana.

This practice is open to all—no yoga or meditation experience is required. Participants can come from any background or belief system. Whether you are navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply longing to be in community, you are welcome in this circle.

What to bring:
● Yoga mat
● Blanket
● Comfortable clothing for gentle movement
● Provided: eye covering

Space is limited. Reserve your spot and step into this intentional space of listening, offering, and receiving.
