Last night my son was on day 2 of a high temp and not keeping anything down: when I went to bed he was hot, like really hot: and as I lay down next to him I could feel my Thyme bush calling from the garden: like honestly she was like hellooooo I’m here I can help. Now I have nurtured this wee bush from one of those lidel pots right up to a 3 foot wide wonderful plant! And I use thyme mostly when we have a coldy type thing.. I make thyme tea for my daughter who is prone to sinus stuff often. But I knew I’d never get my son to drink thyme tea, plus he was out cold.
But I got the feel of laying it round him. So I went out and wrestled the sticky back door, in the dark, in my jammies. Picked some thyme and laid it all around him. I rubbed it in my hands and I could smell it so strong, and I knew he could too. After about ten mins I moved it a bit away as honestly it was so strong.. and felt him and no joke his temp had gone down significantly. He was massively less hot to touch. And he slept all night and woke up so much happier today! Yay ! Now if that doesn’t deserve a dancing baby gif what does. I actually don’t know exactly what it did but it def did something! Thankyou beautiful thyme and thankyou to this group for bringing the plants closer to me again 🍀🙏
