Wilde Thyme
This little plant can be found in flower in June/July in the Chalk Pit in Cherry Hinton. Also called Serpyllum and Mother of Thyme.
Wild Thyme is a sovereign remedy for overeating as I found out a long time ago. I had over indulged on home-made waffles, Chantilly cream and strawberry jam. I felt really sick but a cup of thyme tea did the trick and sorted out my indigestion in no time at all.
The tea is good for colds, coughs and asthma. It has an immediate effect on your mood and gets rid of anxiety and chases away nightmares.
It’s a nerve tonic and sorts out stomach upsets and urinary infections.
Some say it’s also good for your brain, your sex life and stops hair loss. And for all of you boozers out there, it get rids of hangovers – what more could you ask for?
You can grow it in the cracks between paving slabs and gives off a lovely smell when you walk on it. A must have in every garden.
