Anti-flea pet pillow.
2 pieces strong fabric, about 8 inches square.
2 cups dried pennyroyal
1 cup dried wormwood
1 cup dried lavender
1 cup dried rosemary
1 cup dried lemongrass
Orris root powder (or 1 cup dried southernwood).This preserves the properties of the herbs for longer.
Method:
Make a cloth bag by sewing 2 pieces of fabric together on three sides. Leave the fourth side open to stuff the pillow. Turn the bag inside out.
Combine the herbs in a bowl and lightly crush them. Add the orris root powder.
Stuff the bag with the herbs and sew the top shut.
Put into your pet’s bed or sleeping area.
Check every two months or so to see if the herbs need replacing.
The traditional stuffing, used in poultry, mutton and beef.
Breadcrumbs made from 1-2 day old bread, 2-3 onions, several fresh sage leaves chopped finely, 1 egg, salt and pepper to taste. (Save a piece of crust).
Mix all together to make a firm ball, and place inside meat.
Put the piece of bread crust in last before skewering or tying. This helps prevent the stuffing popping out during cooking.
