Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 My DH Dave scored one pound of organic whole cloves yesterday at work. I love to use them in baking hams, and mix it with water and cinnamon and let it simmer on the stove. Oh, my, it smells up the entire apartment with this wonderful scent. From my knowledge, Cloves can be an irritant, so I doubt if it can me used in making soaps,, shampoos, creams, etc. Anyone have any ideas on how to use this? We could powder it and use it as a natural colorant for soaps, but not sure how much we could use. Looks like I have to do some research! Any ideas are appreciated. Blessed Be!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I add ground cloves and paprika to henna to get a customized color. I find it covers grays better too. -Raine Kaye wrote: > My DH Dave scored one pound of organic whole cloves yesterday at work. > I love to use them in baking hams, and mix it with water and cinnamon > and let it simmer on the stove.
