Lavender Oil

As far back as the 16th Century, lavender was placed between the bed sheets to prevent moths, and many modern homes still use it in their closets for this purpose and to keep the linens fresh and fragrant.

To encourage thrift and prudence in all matters, anoint the wrists, throat, and ankles daily.

To promote peace in the home, add it to your scrub water weekly or keep an open bottle on the table, mantel, or other convenient place.

If you feel that someone is trying to take your job from you, discredit you with the boss, or in any way interfere with your work, write that person's name on a square of parchment and place it in a red flannel bag along with some cumin seed and some devil's shoestring herb. Place the bag in a safe place and anoint it daily with Lavender Oil so that the person will become very involved in his own affairs and will leave you completely alone.
