Herbal Bath Scrub

  • 3 cups oatmeal
  • 1 cup dried rose petals (stem & leaves removed)
  • 1 cup finely cut dried thyme
  • dried orange peel from 2 oranges

Grind each ingredient in a coffee grinder or blender until each reaches a smooth, uniform texture. In large bowl, mix all ingredients. Use this mixture to cleanse and scrub rough skin on elbows, knee and hands by rubbing briskly onto damp skin, then rinse. The oatmeal smoothes and softens the skin beautifully, and the thyme is marvelously refreshing and astringent.
