<\/a>Bentonite, also referred to as Montmorillonite, is one of the most effective and powerful healing clays. Bentonite can be used externally as a clay poultice, mud pack or in the bath and, in skin care recipes. A good quality Bentonite should be a grey\/cream colour and anything bordering \u201cpure white\u201d is suspect.<\/p>\n\u00a0Here are the top benefits and uses of these amazing healing clays:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nApply a paste of healing clay and water on any skin irritation like blemishes, insect bites, cuts, skin itching, or burns.<\/strong> Leave it on until it dries and wash off. This is said to be especially calming to skin itching from eczema, psoriasis, chicken pox, etc.<\/p>\nFor more severe issues, create a\u00a0poultice\u00a0by putting a thick layer of clay on the skin and applying a wet gauze or cloth over it. Wrap the area and leave the\u00a0poultice\u00a0on, changing every 2 hours.<\/p>\n
You could also add about 1\/4 cup of healing clay to a bath for a relaxing detox bath<\/strong> that softens skin.<\/p>\nFor smooth and healthy skin<\/strong>, make a paste of bentonite or any other healing clay and water and apply to the face as a mask (a similar mask is used in many spas). Leave on for 20 minutes and wash off.<\/p>\nBecause of its excellent ability to bind to heavy metals and toxins as well as to provide minerals, bentonite can be used to clean teeth<\/strong>. It can be used alone for brushing and is tasteless and relatively textureless.<\/p>\nFor pets that are sick, vomiting or showing signs of illness<\/strong>, you can add Bentonite or montmorillonite clay to their water or mix and give orally with a dropper or syringe without the needle.<\/p>\nFor internal cleansing,<\/strong> you may add 1-2 tablespoons of this clay powder in your water and drink daily. It will help maintain the metabolism and improve digestion.<\/p>\nThis drink can also be helpful during morning sickness and uneasy feeling during pregnancy. It will also help you will nausea.<\/p>\n
Since the clay is a store for a variety of minerals and nutrients, it serves as a nourishing agent for almost all hair types. For years, the clay has been used to clarify and cleanse hair.<\/strong> Cleansing with this clay removes impurities and dirt leaving hair looking pure, clear and natural.
