Tansy Herb
Repels ants and cockroaches. Anthelmintic, tonic, stimulant, emmenagogue.

Tapioca Pearls
These round pellets are made from cassava roots. Asians use them to make puddings and a beverage called bubble tea.

The pearls are normally soaked for at least a few hours before they're added to a recipe.

It is useful in cases of wind spasms and colic, and will assist in promoting perspiration at the commencement of a cold. In herbal medicine, Thyme is generally used in combination with other remedies. Thyme is a strong flavoring, and--as with sage--the cook not well experienced with it is advised to use it with a distinctly light hand till confidence is gained.

It is often recommended for baked fish, in marinades, fried vegetables, fruit salad, custards, & in just about anything that would call for a bit of lemon. As a tea it can be a healthful stimulant
