Ingredients
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
2 | ounces | Dried pennyroyal |
1 | ounce | Dried catnip |
2 | ounces | Dried pennyroyal |
1 | ounce | Dried thyme |
1 | ounce | Chamomile |
3 | drops | Peppermint oil |
1 | ounce | Dried wormwood |
3 | drops | Pennyroyal oil |
Directions
CAT BLEND
DOG BLEND
Note: Each ounce of dried herbs is equal to about 2 cups.
Use whole or cut herbs. This mixture can be refreshed by adding fresh oil from time to time.
Make small sachets for small, tidy pets, or stuff the whole amount into a large denim pillow for larger, itchier animal friends.
Pennyroyal is especially effective as a flea repellent.
[Karen's note: The photo in the magazine shows a gingham bag and a flower-print bag. Both have the top edges pinked, and are tied with ribbon.]
