Linda's Herbal Garden

        Cucumber
        Cucumis sativus

        The cucumber has been in cultivation for around 3,000 years.
        The seeds may expel tapeworms but the fruit is principally
        employed in skin preparations for its cooling and softening
        effect. Fresh cucumber slices refresh sore, tired eyes.
