The usual congestion remedies in this neck of the woods are cayenne and thyme. I'll definitely put it to some more uses now :-) I've thought about growing it -- is it easy to grow? I read that it needs damp soil, and I've got a pond that it could grow next to. Now to find a source for seeds . . . Peace, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
