Bulk Herbs: Bentonite clay - powder

A clay mask draws excess oils and debris to the surface of your skin, boosts circulation to tighten the skin and stimulate blood flow, and whisks away dead skin cells that can clog pores…You can add herbs and essential oils to soothe inflamed, painful skin and fight bacteria that inflame clogged pores into blemishes…

To control itching – A simple "mud pack" made with bentonite clay and enough water to create a thick goo can help control the itch and dry up blisters, herbalists say. Spread the clay over the affected area and let air-dry. Keep it on until the clay wears off or gets itchy. Wash off the residue.

For First Aid – To make a healing pack, mix bentonite clay or baking soda and oatmeal with water and an anti-infection herb (such as Garlic, Thyme, or calendula) or an herbal tincture. Apply to pimples, boils, or wounds.

Bentonite, also referred to as Montmorillonite, is one of the most effective and powerful healing clays used to treat both internal and external maladies. Bentonite can be used externally as a clay poultice, mud pack or in the bath, and in skin care recipes. Internally, it can be added to water or glazed upon food to help those with sensitive palates. It has a very fine, velveteen feel and is odorless and non-staining.

Its highest power lies in the ability to absorb toxins, impurities, heavy metals and other internal contaminants. Bentonite clay's structure assists it in attracting and soaking up poisons on its exterior wall and then slowly draws them into the interior center of the clay where it is held in a sort of repository. To state it another way, Bentonite is swelling clay. When it becomes mixed with water it rapidly swells open like a highly porous sponge. From here the toxins are drawn into the sponge through electrical attraction and once there, they are bound.

For internal use, start with a teaspoon mixed thoroughly in at least 8 oz. of water. After a few days or so, you may want to increase the amount of clay by a tiny bit (a little goes a long way).

From Our Reading and/or Experience...

• The internal use of Bentonite clay is an excellent and simple way to do an effective cleanse. Among other benefits, it can reduce body odor, skin blemishes, and digestive track issues of all sorts.
• The clay can be stirred into water, juice or any other beverage of your choice. It can also be sprinkled on foods or encapsulated.
• We keep it on hand, among other items, to use internally and externally in case of snake bites or any other kind of poisoning.
• Bentonite clay can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), children, and animals.
• It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose. Just remember to consume LOTS of water while using it internally.

Re: Does this clay help with constipation?
by Crys on May 7, 2008  [ reply ]

I have your same question. I worry the clay will cause constipation since it absorbs huge amounts of water. I have not tried the clay yet.
I hope someone who has tried it will reply.
