Natural Cough Remedy
Recipe: Follow the age-old practice of using thyme leaves to soothe
the respiratory tract. Like sage, thyme has antimicrobial properties
and is traditionally used to treat coughs, laryngitis, bronchitis and
pleurisy, among other ailments.
To make a syrup that's palatable to both adults and kids, steep
1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves in 300ml boiled water, covered, for
15 minutes. Strain out the leaves, add 1/4 cup honey and 1 teaspoon
lemon juice. Store in the fridge and keep no longer than a week.
For children 1 year or older, give 1-2 teaspoons every
2-3 hours. Teens and adults can take 1-2 tablespoons at a time.

In the garden: Thyme likes a sunny spot in free-draining soil.
It doesn't like wet feet, so add horticultural grit or pumice to
improve drainage if required. If planting in pots, use a potting
mix that's low in nutrients. Rich soil encourages softer growth
and diminishes flavour. Plants in the garden also have
low fertiliser requirements.
Another plus: Thyme is both drought-
and cold-hardy.
