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. |
