Clay for external use
Clay can be used externally with great success on many different
symptoms, thanks to specific properties. Indeed, clay has been shown
to have an antiseptic action, while respecting the tissue on which it
is applied, a cicatrizing action by stimulating the cellular
regeneration and protecting the scar, an hemostatic action, a cleaning
effect and a sedative and relaxing action.
- Clay has been used with great success in dermatology for
symptoms like: acne, scar, wound, bite, sting, burn, abscess, boil,
psoriasis, athlete feet, mycosis, eczema and other dermatitis.
- It is also a precious help in case of fractures, articular pain
(arthritis, arthrosis), back pains of diverse origins, sprains,
tendinitis, cramps.
- Clay has been utilized in cosmetics for millennia. By purifying
the skin and the underlying tissues, it helps it to stay healthy and
radiant. As part of masks, shampoos, soaps, body-wraps, baths,
toothpaste, by itself or, even better, in combination with plant
extracts, elixirs or essential oils, clay will bring the beauty from
the source, from inside.
Beaty and Healing with using clay exernally
Beauty
A beautiful skin is a healthy skin. For you to be healthy and
beautiful, your skin needs to breathe. Just at the physical level,
Clay is very important because applied as a mask, it will deeply
purify and invigorate your skin. It will pull out toxins, pollutants,
chemicals and dust which prevent your skin from breathing. But Clay
acts at more than the physical level. Egyptians were putting clay on
their faces when a family member died because they knew that clay is
purifying. Clay mask not only purifies your skin, but it also purifies
your mind, your emotions.
Directions for external use
Externally, clay may be used as part of powder, poultices, masks,
baths, mouthwash, nose showers, wraps, shampoos and soaps. Poultices
are made by adding a small amount of water to a bowl of clay, letting
this mix rest until complete absorption of the water by the clay,
preferably under the sunlight. The poultices should cover the area to
treat with a 3/4 inch thick layer, wrapped with a cotton cloth and be
left on for at least one hour. Poultices may be kept for a few days if
in a hermetic container.
Important: Never reuse any clay!
Purifying beauty mask
Clays are a simple, inexpensive and wonderful way to take care of your
skin. Its amazing properties can be applied for many different
conditions. Find out what's good for you.
Applied as a mask, it purifies, vitalizes and boosts the cell renewal
of the skin. Both Green and White Clays also deeply clean the pores
and refine the skin structure. This is a great way to get rid of acne,
blackheads and pimples. Your skin breathes better, and thus is
healthier.
Green Clay is richer in minerals and is more tonic,
antiseptic and absorbing than white clay: use it for normal,
combination and oily skin and to get rid of acne.
White Clay is softer and can be used on sensitive, normal and
oily skin. It is a very potent pore refiner.
Apply a 1/8" layer on your whole face (if normal or oily skin) or
T-zone (if very dry or sensitive skin) avoiding the eye and lip
contour. Leave on for 5-10mn. Do not let the clay dry out. Rinse with

think of your cell and wireless phones, your computer, your car, your
microwave, your satellite dish and radio, the subway... All these
fields affect your own natural electromagnetic field, not always in
