Moth Repellant Sachets

  • 3 tablespoons southernwood
  • 2 tablespoons mugwort (handle with care)
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chamomile flowers
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon orris root powder
  • Oil of cloves, or lavender, or lemon oil (see recipe)

Crumble the dried herbs into a bowl.  Add the spices, the salt, and the orris root.  Store in a screw-topped jar, away from the light, for 2 weeks.  Have the bags ready for filing, and shake enough oil on the herbs to scent them quite stronly.  Fill the bags and stitch or tie the opening.
