Easy peasy sugar scrub.

We have been making sugar scrub for a while now, and I wanted to share another scent that we love.  Clove.

Clove (clove bud) is the flower bud that is produced by an evergreen tree.  They are native to Indonesia and have been used for medicinal purposes since the ancient times (around 200 BC).

Clove is an antiviral, antiseptic, antifungal, and an antimicrobial that works especially well for relieving headaches, stress, toothaches, indigestion, and too many other things to list.  Clove is also rich in vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, and phosphorus.  You cannot lose with Clove.

So what is in the scrub?  First about a cup of sugar.  Most sugars will do but I like raw sugar.  We used Zulka pure sugar cane, then about a half of a cup of olive oil (I like light), a few drops of vitamin E, and maybe 8-10 drops of clove oil.
Mix it up and you are done!
