Thyme
'My (French) 95-year-old grandmother... still uses thyme and "has never known it to fail" for diarrhoea – make an infusion of thyme (boil for about a minute and leave to cool, then drain). One cup, preferably after food, is usually enough.'
Weston, Hertfordhire, 2002

Thyme is used 'to preserve the natural colour of hair' and used by practitioners of herbal medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including bronchitis, asthma, whooping cough, sinusitis and digestive problems.
