Indian borage, which is also known by other names such as Mexican Mint, Spanish thyme, Country borage, Coleus amboinicus, Karpooravalli mint, Cuban oregano, French thyme, Orégano francés, Pudina, Soup mint, Oregano brujo, Thick leaf thyme or broad leaf thyme

Perfect for brewing tea in the evening/night. The leaves are strongly flavoured and are used for stuffings of beef, lamb and poultry, in grills/ kebabs, BBQ, soups, stews etc. Although it is native to parts of southern and eastern Africa, the demand for this beneficial herb has caused cultivation to spread to other tropical areas around the world with suitable growing conditions. The plant, whose scientific name is Plectranthus amboinicus, is very hardy and grows quickly, requires little water, and can even grow in colder conditions if the weather changes dramatically.

The plant can be grown indoors here in the UK and very easy to propagate, so you can pick a leaf almost everyday to brew tea. We used to drink the tea made from this plant almost every day since the pandemic and we've always felt a difference.

Perfect Teething Toy for Puppies!
Color: Pacifier, Size: Small
My puppy absolutely loves this Nylabone Puppy Pacifier Chew Toy! The bacon flavor immediately caught his attention, and it has quickly become his favorite toy. It’s the perfect size for small puppies and easy for little mouths to carry around and chew on. The material is soft enough for teething but still durable enough to hold up to daily chewing. It has really helped redirect my puppy from chewing on furniture and shoes, and it seems to soothe his gums while he’s teething. I also like that it keeps him entertained for long periods of time. Great quality, puppy-approved, and definitely worth buying for any small dog owner!

Color: Pacifier, Size: Small, Color: Pacifier, Size: Small
These are my dogs favorite toys and they keep them entertained for hours. Yes they are able to chew them down to small pieces but they are sturdy enough where they won't swallow them. I have miniature dachshunds so small dogs.
