Pennyroyal is applied to the skin to kill germs, keep insects away, and treat skin diseases. It is also used topically for gout, venomous bites, and mouth sores; and as a flea-killing bath. Pennyroyal oil is used as a dog and cat flea repellent; and as a fragrance for detergents, perfumes, and soaps. As a child I can remember my sister and I filling the little cloth pouches that dad's 'roll your own' cigarette tobacco came in with pennyroyal. We'd put it under our pillow at night to keep the mosquitoes away. Pennyroyal is on of my favorite aromas or fragrances. It has a very strong smell which is very fresh, clean and pleasant. I'm very lucky to have it growing wild in the edge of my yard at Brooks.
