Thyme
A 16th-century bard called the scent of thyme [breaking heaven] because it smelled fresh and charming, naturally comfortable, and pure and beautiful like heaven.
In fact, Thyme is related to the most charming and beautiful Spartan Princess Helen, who also caused the historical battle [Troy War]. In Greek mythology, thyme is Helen's tears. Princess Helen, who fell in love with the country, was the daughter of Queen Spartan Lizhao and the god Zeus. Because she was very beautiful, she pursued her princes and nobles countlessly. In order to prevent everyone from fighting for Helen, Helen's adoptive father, King Sparta, married her to the newly appointed King of Sparta Menelaus and became the queen of Sparta.
It wasn't long before the calm, when a handsome Troy prince, Paris, came to Sparta. When he saw Queen Helen, he was fascinated by her. He tried everything to approach Helen and show her love, Helen was also attracted by his handsomeness, and fell in love with him unconsciously, so the two met to escape to Troy. It's just that the young two did not know that this elopement led to the Trojan War for ten years.
When Troy finally died and Paris died, Helen shed tears of tears, and the expression of tears falling gently on her face caused many Troy warriors to fall over and swear to protect her. Therefore, thyme in Greek means "courage", which means Helen's petite teardrops, but it increases the soldiers' infinite courage to kill the enemy.
Frankincense Frankincense
In 1922, archaeologists opened the tomb of Pharaoh Tutangamen and found that the smell of frankincense came from a sealed flask. Unbelievably, this aroma has been sealed in the Shen Shen tomb for more than 3300 years, but it is still faintly audible.
During the Tang and Song dynasties in China, especially after the Song Dynasty, incense was popular in the upper society, and the number of spices imported from abroad was huge each year. According to historical records, in 1077, only 174 tons of frankincense were collected in Guangzhou. At that time, the Oman Dhofar area was called "Xianggan" by the Chinese, and a large amount of frankincense and other spices were transported from Dhofar to Guangzhou and Quanzhou. This sea route from Oman to southern China is known as the "Sea Spice Road" or "Maritime Silk Road" because when Omani merchants returned, they were full of Chinese silk, ceramics, camphor and musk. Frankincense was a traditional Chinese medicine at that time, which had the effects of promoting blood circulation, relieving muscles and relieving qi and relieving pain.
In 450 BC, Herodotus, a well-known Greek historian, mentioned frankincense in his famous masterpiece "History": "The whole country floats up and down, exuding a wonderful sweet fragrance." Roman historian Pliny more than 2000 years ago described frankincense as "white and dazzling, collected at dawn, with round particles and pearl-like shapes." Frankincense also has many aliases, some call it "the pearl of the desert", some call it "the tears of Christ", and others call it "white gold" because of its precious value.
Frankincense is an essential oil of religious significance in the West. In the New Testament, when the three wise men in the east came to the manger where Jesus was born, the disciple Maria offered mastic and myrrh balm to Jesus Christ and scrubbed his body and Feet. Therefore, frankincense and myrrh symbolize the resurrection and resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The ancients believed that the smoke of frankincense would bring their prayers to heaven, so no matter what religious rituals were held, incense frankincense was indispensable.
