HERB CUSHION

Make a 'herb cushion' with a delicately scented filling of pot pourri and herbs, to provide another way of scenting rooms. It is important that the fragrance is not overpowering, and so the scent creates a relaxed atmosphere, or soothing in the bedroom for a good nights sleep.

FOR SWEET DREAMS:
a sleep pillow, filled with:
250ml lemon
250ml thyme
250ml lavender
500ml lemon verbena
2 drops lavender oil

LARGE ROSE CUSHION:
750ml rose petals
grated dried peel of 2 lemons
1 tablespoon ground orris root
2 drops lemon oil
If the fragrance of the cushion begins to fade after some time, it may be revived with a few drops of lemon oil.

HINT OF HERBS:
Smaller than the rose cushion, this contains a herby scented mix of the following:
500ml mixed dried rosemary, peppermint, lemon balm, marjoram and basil, 125ml oakmoss, and 3 drops rosemary oil.
