Cornmeal-rosemary foot scrub

Rosemary is slightly antiseptic.

¼ cup boiling water

1 cup fresh rosemary leaves

¼ cup oats

½ cup cornmeal

2 tablespoons olive oil

Pour boiling water over rosemary; cover and steep 15 minutes in a nonmetal bowl. Use a coffee or spice grinder to grind the oats. Combine the powdered oats with cornmeal and olive oil. Strain liquid and discard rosemary; add the rosemary water to the mixture 1 tablespoon at a time until a smooth paste forms.

To use: Massage feet with the paste. Rinse.
