It’s easy to love the taste of thyme in stews and roasts and sauces, but have you taken the time to really taste thyme? When you have really good quality thyme, it’s highly aromatic and very spicy and hot!
Tasting an herb and experiencing how it feels in your body when you take it as food and medicine is at the heart of herbal energetics. This system is a great way to really get to know the plants you’re working with, and to choose the herbs that are best suited to your unique body and conditions. In this episode I’ll walk you through the energetics of thyme (and why they matter!), and how you can use this system to choose the best herbs for you.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know:
► Why tasting herbs is such a powerful tool for assessing their quality, potency, and herbal actions
► The particular respiratory conditions that thyme’s gifts are best suited for (and how to know that, based on its taste!)
► Why thyme is such a helpful digestive aid
► Tips for harvesting thyme (and how to do so while still allowing the pollinators to enjoy its lovely flowers!)
► and so much more….
