Scrub a Dubdub

Getting round to thinking about summer (which seems to have escaped us once again), and where we are going camping this year, I dug out this picture of me taken last year, making potions to sell for charity. The components were donated by a herbalist and we (for there were many of us) were making Salt Scrubs. For this you need sweet almond oil, good quality pure essential oil, herbs (preferably organic), very good quality, food grade, rock salt, as many jars as you can fill with those ingredients. As you can see, we used those spring clip preserving jars in small size, which cost less than £1. each. We made two types, Lavender and Fennel & Peppermint. Here's what you do ...

In a bowl, mix together salt, and herbs in the ratio of about 3:1 salt:herb. Put this salt/herb mixture into your jars about 3/4 full. Add 10-20 drops of essential oil. Now fill each jar to the top with almond oil and seal. Add a label (and a ribbon if you like). Use these to scrub yourself down before having a nice hot shower. Becareful of your plughole though, as some seeds might swell in the drain causing a blockage.
