What about Clay? It’s just dirt right?
Uh, Yep and No. Clay does come from the soil, but it is mineral
rich and is known widely for its amazing detoxing and purifying properties used
externally and yes internally. Eating clay,
REALLY. I admit, even with the
information I have, it still is hard for me to drink the muddy, murky looking concoction. This blog explores the minimal facts about clay…..please
explore further on your own before you tread down this path in hopes of ingesting
all the benefits of pure calcium benonite clay.
There are many types of clay, but only one I know about that
you should ingest pure calcium benonite clay.
First, let me tell you about the different types of clay that can be
used on the skin to exfoliate, detox, soak up excess sebum (oils on the skin),
clarify, tighten and bringing color to your skin. It is one of the best instant treatments I
know of to look amazing.
Kaolin and bentonite clays: These natural Earth clays help
clarify the skin, absorb excess oil and reduce shine.
Rhassoul Clay contains high percentages of silica and
magnesium along with potassium and calcium, its high mineral content,
effectively draws out impurities, buffs and polishes and immediately tones the
skin without irritation.
French Green Clay has
excellent absorbing agents as it absorbs the extra oil from the skin, which is
good as this extra oil may lead to acne marks and blemishes." Green clay is the choice for sensitive or
acneic skin.
Topical Uses: Making
a clay mask is a treat. When ever I am
going out on for a special occasion or just want to feel and look better, I mix
clay with several different options depending on what I feel like. Some of the options are juice for additional
exfoliation, egg white or coffee juice for tightening, lavender or tea tree oil
for blemish control and calming the skin.
Clay taken internally for health benefits. The choice of taking clay internally is Pure
Calcium Kaolin Clay. Pure Calcium
Bentonite clay contains more than 70 trace minerals. By mixing Pure Calcium
Bentonite clay with water either internally or externally the expanded
particles develop into a large surface which enables them to pick up many times
their own weight of various body toxins. This wide surface is made of a great
number of tiny platelets, each with a negative electrical attraction for
positively charged toxins. Bentonite clay's negative charge is responsible for
its amazing detoxifying properties: it is a magnet for many toxic elements
present in the human body (heavy metals, pesticides, and free radicals), which
are positively charged. This physical pulling power of Pure Calcium Bentonite
Clay also has an absorbent action (like sticky paper) as toxins are drawn into
the porous surface of the clay. For more

Here is a bowel detox I am going to try. Again, please seek do research on your own or
seek medical attention for your own safety.
Bowel Detox
Mix 1 tsp. (4.93 ml) of bentonite clay, 1 tsp. (4.93 ml) of
powdered psyllium (not whole psyllium seeds or un-powdered husks), and 1/2 tsp.
(2.46 ml) of ginger powder with 1 cup (250 ml) of organic apple juice
Shake the mixture well until all of the lumps are dissolved.
Drink the shake immediately before the psyllium makes the mixture become gooey.
Do not consume any food within 2 hours before or after drinking the shake
because the food will be absorbed by the clay. Do not drink more than 5 shakes
a day. I would also add to this a
daily lemon water drink. Also be sure to
drink plenty of water because bentonite clay can cause you to be constipated. Also during a bowel cleanse, it is best to
eat as little as possible sticking to juices made up of anything you like.
I hope you enjoyed this little snippet on Clay and will get
back to me with any information or experiences you would like to share.
Hope you are having an awesome day!
