What is the significance of the rice flour? What properties make this an important ingredient? I ask because I have all everything else in my kitchen 🙂
Hi Lisa, the rice flour is an exfoliant, it make everything kind of ‘scrubby’ but not as scrubby as salt.
You could use salt instead. You could put rice in a blender and turn it into rice flour. But if you dont have rice, you can use salt instead. Enjoy!
Wow, this sounds amazing Kami! Thank you for sharing the recipe on the Art of Home-Making Mondays at Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth! 🙂

Hi Kami,
Heat Feet Spice Scrub: in your lovely video you say to use 2 Tablespoons each of clove and ginger. Your recipe lists using 2 teaspoons of these spices. Which is correct? Thank you. Susan
