PLECTRANTHUS AMBOINICUS

I am not particularly fond of culinary or medicinal herbs and spices, so I am not really interested in the Indian Borage, Mexican Thyme or Mexican Mint from the Lamiaceae (Labitae) Family.

These 2 are not the typical green types but have folded variegated leaves and a slight silverish tinge respectively. Just months ago, my mum just boiled the normal green variety in hot water and served it to me to control my cough. I couldn't remember whether it worked or not though.
