The Egyptians and the Etruscans used thyme mixed with ointments to embalm their dead. The Greeks burned it in front of altars and homes because they attributed purifying properties to it. In the language of flowers, it is a symbol of courage, lasting love, the spirit of creativity, dynamism and physical resistance. All you have to do is plant it!
