What is Bentonite Clay?

Simply stated, clay draws. The natural tendency of clay is to absorb toxins.  It sucks poison from its environment. Clay has the power to attract and stimulate the evacuation of toxic and non-useful elements. It is known that clay possesses both absorbent and adsorbent powers: absorption of the impurities in the tissues, adsorption by pulling out the impurities in body liquids and eliminating them. Clay acts with wisdom; no matter in what manner absorbed, clay goes to the unhealthy place, where it lodges, perhaps for several days, until it draws out the impurities (or pus, black blood, etc.) with its evacuation. Clay appears to have the ability to know where to center itself to provide the best benefit. Though clay has been used for years, no one has been able to exactly pin down what makes clay a healer.

How is bentonite clay used?

For maintaining good health, as well as healing and therapeutic purposes, clay may be used both externally and internally. For external use, clay may be mixed with water or other mediums to form a paste for soothing and drawing. Internally/orally clay powder can be added to water, juice, etc. or sprinkled on food. It can also be taken in capsule or tablet form. In all cases, clay should be accompanied by sensible and healthy eating habits including lots of water.
