Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus): Contains eucalyptol (1,8-cineole), a potent compound that helps clear airways and support respiratory function. Its volatile oils provide natural decongestant properties and antimicrobial benefits.

Rosehip (Rosa canina): One of nature's richest sources of vitamin C, containing bioflavonoids and carotenoids that support immune function. Provides natural sweetness while contributing to the blend's therapeutic properties.

Traditional Winter Wellness: From Ancient Rome to Modern Herbalism

Thyme has been revered since ancient times, particularly in Mediterranean cultures. Roman soldiers bathed in thyme-infused water before battle, believing it imparted courage and strength. The herb's name comes from the Greek word 'thymos,' meaning courage or strength.

Eucalyptus has a fascinating history in Australian Aboriginal medicine, where it was known as 'kino.' Traditional healers used eucalyptus leaves to treat respiratory conditions and fever. European settlers quickly adopted these practices, leading to eucalyptus becoming a global remedy for respiratory health.

In medieval European monasteries, thyme was grown in herb gardens and used to treat respiratory ailments. The combination of thyme and eucalyptus became popular during the 19th century as understanding of their complementary properties grew. This blend represents centuries of herbal wisdom, combining traditional knowledge with modern scientific understanding.
