Wormwood Juniper Sachet

Wormwood is often used as an insect repellent. Dried as a simple sachet, its strong, herbaceous smell infuses any closet of clothes or linens with a warm scent. Or, it can be used in a cellar or pantry to ward off insects. Combine with juniper berries, or any other herb, for added fragrance.
