Thyme

Grown around the world, Thyme has strong antiseptic properties; it can be used as a mouthwash for sore throats and gum infections.  Great in massage oils, it can also kill mosquito larva! An essential ingredient in bouquet garni, Thyme infuses beautifully into stocks, stews and casseroles.

In the Middle Ages a Thyme brew was drunk as part of a ritual to enable one to see fairies!
