1.Our self-benefits are not determined by how big our physical shape is, how big our social position is, or how much wealth we have.

Thyme, a small plant full of benefits. Thyme is a popular herb in the kitchen. Thyme is not only a perfect food flavor, but has many benefits for health and natural medicine.

Our body needs the help of little thyme to maintain digestive health. Of course food is an important factor for maintaining life, and our digestive system must always be healthy.

Fresh or dried use of thyme in food mixtures can keep us from food poisoning. In addition, the aroma and taste of food is more durable.

When we have enjoyed good food, we still need a little thyme to keep our digestion.

On the other side, thyme is a natural medicine to relieve respiratory problems, insomnia, menstrual cramps, maintain brain health, and many others.

From there, we can take a lesson. We are born into the world with each other's privileges, bringing great benefits to life.

We must not consider ourselves small if we do not have anything compared to other people. We can still provide lifelong benefits in our own way.

All of that comes from the breadth of our hearts, from the sincerity of our intentions. Rest assured that we are all special, even though it seems we only have something as small as thyme leaves. :)

2.We must work hard and feel pain to achieve our dreams. And, we must be willing to sacrifice to give a positive impact on life in the future.

Thyme leaves have been trusted to provide natural medicinal benefits for the body if consumed as tea. Thyme leaves must be watered with hot water. This is the philosophy that to get benefits from within us, we must feel our gentle physical and psychological pain, like being doused with hot water.

We will bring out the best in ourselves to be able to achieve dreams if we have been tested with various pain. We will get out of our comfort zone, and have to pass various tests to pass our dreams.

Like thyme leaves that must be willing to be poured in hot water to provide the best benefits for this life, we must be willing to feel the pain of various life trials, to achieve our dreams, and ultimately be able to contribute to make life better.

No pain, no gain. :)

3.You Must Have Courage to Reach Your Dreams

Without courage, man is just a failure. Willing to experience the pain that is lived full of courage is the aroma of success for you!

Learn from thyme. The fragrant aroma also comes from courage. Thyme has long been believed to be a symbol of courage and placed in a coffin to deliver departure.

From www.history.com it says:

Thyme was also associated with courage, bravery and strength in ancient times. Roman soldiers exchanged sprigs of thyme as a sign of respect. Greeks and Romans burned bundles of thyme to purify their temples and homes, and to evoke a spirit of courage in those who inhaled it.
The association with courage and bravery persisted into the Middle Ages. Thyme was a traditional gift offered to men going into battle. Most soldiers would just cram these fragrant charms into their pockets or purses, but some were known to attach thyme to their clothing or armor as a visible badge of honor. When worn into battle, thyme might serve double duty: used as an embalming herb since the time of the Egyptians, it was thought to be a powerful aid to those making their passage into the next life.

Because, I believe, our true strength comes from how much our courage.

4. Respect for Women Is Respect for Life

This point is not a statement of feminism. This point comes from the many cases of violence against women, or even harassing a woman. Women are destined to be weaker than men, but that does not mean women are useless than men. Precisely because men are able to protect women.

Women are like the womb of life. We who respect women, means contributing to life even though we may never realize it.

Thyme is useful as a natural remedy for reducing menstrual cramps in women. Women who feel pain during menstruation are advised to consume thyme leaf tea once every two hours during cramps.

Thyme Pillow From I Love Grain

Aside from being made into tea, thyme leaves should be used for external use so that menstrual cramps decrease quickly. Add thyme leaves to the microwave-safe bag, like a pillow, then warm into the microwave.

Arrange the heat on the thyme leaf pillow to put on the abdomen of the woman who has menstrual pain. Besides reducing pain, heated thyme leaves are also able to provide a calming effect.

Thyme loves women very much, we also have to love women. Right? :)

5.We Need Others To Create Better Results

Working together makes a job have better results and is produced in a faster time than when you are alone.

Thyme also contains this philosophy. Although thyme already has great benefits for food recipes, but thyme still needs other ingredients to create more perfect results.

Steak or grilled meat will be better, thyme needs to be mixed with other ingredients such as rosemary, sage, garlic and butter.

Working together is certainly more beautiful because it supports unity!

Conclusion

The philosophies that I have shared, hopefully will inspire us. As small as thyme leaves, it has natural benefits for life. Likewise with yourself. Never feel unworthy, because you are very special.

Never be afraid to take risks and feel pain. From pain we grow better, and will contribute to benefit life.

Look at the natural things around you. For a moment look also inside you. Feel the breadth of your heart, and tell yourself that you were created to bring about better change.

Keep growing with your confidence.

Keep healing with Natural Medicine.
