You should have these in your herb garden: plants with healing properties

THYME
Did you know that this common garden herb, which packs a punch in casseroles and soups, also has proven antiseptic properties?
“Thyme is particularly good for treating respiratory and sinus infections by reducing inflammation of the airways,” says Katherine.
Historically thyme is also known as a hard hitter when it comes to preventing colds and flu thanks to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
Combine it with sage and boiling water to make an infusion that boosts the immune system against colds. 
ROSEMARY 
According to Katherine, as well as improving memory rosemary can also help to ease headaches. “Lots of students use it during revision when they may suffer from headaches,” she explains.
“Simply pick it from the garden, pop it in a cup of hot water and put a plate over the top to stop the oils from evaporating until it’s cool enough to drink.”
