Thank you for the tip However, I shall not be growing Valerian if cats are attracted to it! A teabag will do me fine. Miles,

I have just spotted that Cinnamon has long been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. When choosingChamomile to grow, look out for Anthemis nobilis (English) and Matricaria chamomilla (German), the latter being an annual. Miles,

I was prompted to read up on the medicinal use of Valerian which appears to have been held in high esteem in medieval times as a good allrounder. Now it seems to be mainly used as an aid for sleep. Scientists appear to have found that it contains a certain acid (GABA) that is thought to inhibit the brain's arousal system!! Cats and other small animals are attracted to it! Miles & Cid,

I shall pass on my germs to relatives this sunday with a bit of luck. Yes, ginger is good for dicky stomachs as is the echinacea tea I am drinking as I type. Hope you feel better soon. Miles Cid,

Seems we've all been feeling about the same, must be an epidemic or a germ ridden sibling :) Either way I intend to get some of that valerian tea .... people round here think I've been on it for years, they may be in for a shock! This being my lunch hour, I shall take one of my special chamomille tea bags to work. Typical, I'm supposed to be out with the girls tonight and certainly don't feel up to it ..... no good asking you to stand in for me Miles :) ? Cid p.s. isn't ginger supposed to help nausea? Miles,
