Rosemary (rosemary)
The name of rosemary comes from the Latin "Rosmarinus", which means "seawater drop", because rosemary is planted along the coast and its flowers look like lavender drops.
Rosemary essential oil also has admirers of aristocratic women. According to legend, Queen Elizabeth, the princess of Hungary, washes her face with rosemary essential oil every day, so even when she is old, she still looks as beautiful as a young woman, which has attracted many European nobles and made great achievements in international diplomacy, which has played a key role in the development of Hungary's national situation. Therefore, even today, rosemary essential oil is still the main component of the famous Hungarian perfume. The Japanese also call rosemary essential oil "Wannian Dew", believing that it has the function of immortality. It is not only used as a skin care product, but also one of the condiments of important Japanese cuisine.
In addition, rosemary is known as "the rose of the Virgin Mary" because of its rich and lasting fragrance, which not only represents "eternal love" but also symbolizes "beautiful memories". Therefore, from the16th century, Europeans and Americans will plant a kind of rosemary on the graves of the dead, representing eternal life, love and beautiful memories.
Thyme
/kloc-A singing poet in the 6th century called the scent of thyme [Paradise at Dawn] because it smells fresh and charming, natural and comfortable, as pure and beautiful as heaven.
In fact, thyme is related to Helen, the most enchanting and beautiful princess in Sparta, and she also triggered the famous historical war [Trojan War]. In Greek mythology, thyme is Helen's tears. Princess Helen is the daughter of Spartan queen Rita and Zeus. Because she is beautiful, there are countless princes and nobles pursuing her. In order to avoid everyone fighting for Helen, Helen's adoptive father, King Sparta, married her to Menelaus, the new king of Sparta, and became the queen of Sparta.
Soon after a calm day, the handsome Prince Paris of Troy came to Sparta. As soon as he saw Queen Helen, he was fascinated by her. He tried to get close to Helen and confided his love to her. Helen was also attracted by his handsomeness and fell in love with him unconsciously, so they met and fled to Troy. It's just that the young couple didn't know that this elopement led to the Trojan War for ten years.
When Troy finally perished and Paris died in battle, Helen shed crystal tears. The way the tears gently fell on her face fascinated many Trojan soldiers and vowed to protect her. So thyme stands for "courage" in Greek, which means Helen's petite tears, but it increases the infinite courage of soldiers to kill the enemy.

In Greek mythology, Pluto fell in love with the beautiful sea elf Mansa. They loved each other, but prout's wife, Pelce Bohr, ran into them. In a rage, Persephone, who was burning with jealousy, pushed Mansa to the ground and trampled her with her feet. Prout couldn't bear to watch it, so he turned Mansa into mint. The more he steps on it, the more charming it becomes. When people smell the fresh fragrance of mint, they will think that Mansa's love will never disappear. The name of mint (mint) comes from this, which is the earliest allusion to mint in western Europe.
