Arborvitae: The Tree of Life

Essential Oil, Poem, , , , ,

Arborvitae, the tree of life,
Majestic, ancient, wisdom rife.
Its fragrant wood, a gift profound,
Preserves, protects, and stands its ground.

To Native hands, this tree was kin,
A sacred bond, deep roots within.
Its oils they used, its strength revered,
A guardian where threats appeared.

For tools, for homes, for sacred flame,
Arborvitae upheld its name.
Its heartwood strong, immune to time,
Resisting rot, decay, and grime.

With lemon’s zest, it guards and shines,
A polish pure, where beauty aligns.
A spritz to shield from nature’s harms,
A balm to calm with soothing charms.

In forest’s hush, its oils ignite
A tranquil peace, a meditative light.
Its essence speaks of strength and grace,
A timeless guide in life’s vast space.

O tree of life, with branches wide,
Your ancient wisdom will abide.
From Native lands to modern care,
Arborvitae’s gifts are everywhere.

A Taste of the Sun

Better Living, Essential Oil Information, Poem, , , , ,

From sun-drenched Mediterranean shores,
Thyme, a tiny shrub, forever endures.
Thymus vulgaris, its botanical name,
Aromatic leaves, whispering of its fame.

 Grey-green and slender, its branches do sprawl,
Part of the mint family, standing proud and tall.
Essential oils, a treasure they hold,
Thymol and carvacrol, stories yet untold. 

Culinary hero, a chef’s delight,
Adding peppery warmth, both day and night.
Soups and stews, it finds its place,
With meats and vegetables, a flavor embrace. 

Beyond the kitchen, a history grand,
Egyptians in embalming, used its helping hand.
Greeks in their temples, its fragrance did rise,
Antiseptic whispers, beneath clear blue skies.

 Modern research, with cautious acclaim,
Antibacterial whispers, a message to claim.
Boosting the immune system, a potential friend,
Nature’s tiny wonder, that knows no end. 

So next time you see it, this herb so adored,
Remember its journey, from garden to board.
A taste of the sunshine, a history deep,
Thyme’s tiny leaves, a treasure to keep.
