About Thyme

Thyme Wisper received her B.S. EE from Arizona State University in 1983 and continued post graduate studies in Business Administration at Nova University in Davie, FL until 1987. Retiring in 2005 after almost 27 years with IBM, Thyme began pursuing her lifelong “hobby” of herbs and health in earnest by graduating in February 2008 with honors from the two year Master Herbalist diploma program at the Australasian College of Health Sciences (now American College of Healthcare Sciences) and completing her certification in Holistic Nutrition in April 2010.

In late 2010 Thyme expanded her Thyme For Health blog by creating Thyme Wisper Herb Shop, Inc. as an online alternative and holistic health resource and adding an online store of handmade herbal medicinals.

In 2011 she opened a brick and mortar shop, offering herbal teas, soaps and medicines, workshops on making herbal personal hygiene products, and lectures on herbs and health.

In 2014 Thyme published Making Tinctures: Beyond the Folk Method in Kindle and paperback formats.

In 2015 Thyme closed her brick and mortar shop to the public (except by appointment only) to concentrate on research and writing while maintaining her website and her online store Thyme’s Tinctures.

May 31, 2021 Thyme published her second book Making Tinctures: Determining Formulas, Benefits, Dosage, Safety in Kindle and paperback formats.

Today Thyme lives off-grid and sustainably in rural Tennessee, maintaining her website and her herb gardens, attending festivals to sell her books, plants, and tinctures, and speaking at herb and homesteading conferences, libraries and other public forums on Health, Nutrition and Making Tinctures.

Thyme is a long standing member of the American Herbalists Guild.
