That's an important point. Hertha, is the essential oils that are the
problem, or the dryness of the potpourri? (Please, please don't buy
pre-made potpourri from a cheap source-- it'll be wood shavings with dye,
a couple of dried flowers, and fragrance oils.) Dry potpourri would
certainly contribute to the 'tiny-little-pieces-of-junk-floating-in-air'
problem for asthmatics. Moist potpourri would seem like a an alternative
but if the trouble is essential oils, not fragrance oils, one would have
to know what to beware of.

Unfortunately, I still haven't found a moist potpourri recipe from period!
