The Wonderful Properties of The Clay
Green clay is used in alternative medicine, both externally and internally, for many reasons, but primarily for cleaning and detox because of its vast absorbent properties. It can be used as a soothing, healing balm for cuts, scrapes, sprains, minor burns and aching muscles. Green clay can be made into a poultice and applied directly to the affected area. The clay works for cuts, scrapes, and wounds by drawing out the infection. It is said to be a comforting remedy for aching muscles and joints. The clay helps to achieve pain free movement with conditions such as arthritis and muscle cramps caused by reduced levels of magnesium.

Italian Green Clay is often called Illite Clay or Sea Clay. This clay contains a wide variety of healing elements, including montmorillonite (Bentonite), magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, silicon, selenium, iron, copper, and cobalt. These mineral nutrients to the body, while simultaneously removing dangerous toxins like heavy metals, free radicals, and environmental pollutants. It is well known that the minerals in Italian green clay provide healing power: copper battles infections, selenium boosts liver function, cobalt treats anaemia, and all the minerals together work to slow the aging process and balance the body’s PH bringing it back to alkaline.
Clay has been used for centuries for its amazing properties: it is used to clean, detoxify, remineralize and regenerate the body inside-out. In the middle east, clay has always been used for washing and nourishing the hair, and it is still used to make natural soap, as a natural disinfectant for cleaning, as a detox drink, as a skin purifying and nourishing mask, as an anti-cellulite scrub…and in many other ways! It is truly a wonderful product of the earth, which once again proves how nature abounds with clean, super-effective remedies.
