Old Thyme Tincture; DIY Herbal Healing

Every kitchen  garden should be strewn with thyme, growing amongst the stones in the path.

You will need to keep a plentitude growing and several bunches drying in a dark corner of your panty at all times as this plant makes a mighty fine tincture with many medicinal uses. I also suggest you start keeping clean muslin or cheesecloth, big jars and several colored glass bottles and canning jars with lids for storing your handiwork. For this tincture, take one of the larger jars and the following:

1 ¼ cup dried thyme leaves
2 cups apple cider vinegar

Put the dried thyme in the jar and carefully pour the vinegar inside. Stir well and seal. Place on a dark shelf and shake it every day. At the end of the one month, strain through muslin. Compost the thyme residue in your garden and store the tincture in a pretty glass jar.
Having this herbal helper around will come in handy for mouthwashes, hair rinses, ritual baths can even rubs on achy joints and sore muscles. For a cup of thyme tea, add one teaspoon of the tincture into a cup of hot water, add a teaspoon of honey, stir and enjoy.

Magical properties of thyme: use in ritual work to increase strength and courage.
When working hard to achieve a major goal, thyme can be used in spells to help you keep a positive attitude. Place thyme beneath your pillow for a restful sleep and happy dreams and to prevent bad dreams and disruptions. You will attract fairies with thyme in your garden with the heavenly scent!
