After the early morning , Holy Trinity Sunday mass, we decided to take a trip to a Herbal Park located in the  compound of a state owned university. It rained really heavy the night before, so the weather was cool and we had a pleasant time walking around the park in search of herbs that we might find useful for medicinal  and cooking purposes . The trip turned out not just to have a look at herbal plants , but also to enjoy the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere at the park. The air was cool and the smell of leaves and grass was all around us. The park during these rainy months looks and smells so fresh. We discovered  lots of herbal plants with their fruits, leaves and even flowers that can be used to treat common ailments like cough and cold, for the disinfection of wounds , treatment of certain skin diseases and many other uses. And the great news about these herbs is that they have no side effects  and are inexpensive. You can grow these right in your own garden. Many of the herbs grown in the park can also be used to spice up our cooking as well. Take a look at the photos I took during the trip:
