Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hi, You can leave the clay on untill it dries or longer (overnight, use your intuition). It is good for a lot of things, detoxing and mineral rich. Good for open wounds, for bruises and for bones. Had green living clay once and there were so many properties and uses listed! Still have a bit of the green stuff, the skin-product i use now is made of red clay// Love Internal/External Uses For healing and therapeutic purposes, clay may be used externally and orally. Eating clay by dissolving it in water can be a wonder working cure. (However, not all clays are safe to eat. For details, see Eeny, Meeny, Miny—Montmorillonite). Applied in poultices and compresses, clay provides numerous benefits. It can heal sores and ulcers and aid in the rebuilding of healthy tissues and cells, and even of fractured bones and vertebrae. Clay (together with lemon) acts on capillaries, liberating them, dissolving crystals and “flakes.” Its natural tendency is to absorb toxins. For example, it is useful in neutralizing intoxification caused by poisonous mushrooms and chemical acids. Taken orally, clay initiates a many-pronged effect. In cases of organic disorders, its intense activity eliminates and destroys unhealthy cells and activates the rebuilding of healthy ones. Besides the colloidal properties of clay, it acts as a cleansing agent eliminating all noxious substances. The same sedating, relaxing, absorbing and healing action is seen in treatment of the inflammation of the intestines as well as amoebic and other types of dysentery. All this is the ‘direct action,’ or the immediate action of clay on the digestive channel. But clay activity goes much further: clay not only cures minor problems, such as diarrhea and constipation through local application; it acts on all the organs—on the whole organism. Everything unhealthy, that emits negative radiations is irresistibly attracted to clay and becomes subject to immediate elimination. For true healing to occur in a mal-functioning (or partially-functioning) organ, a remedy must do more than supply a lacking substance. Clay goes the extra mile by stimulating the deficient organ, thereby restoring the failing organ back to health.

I am going to use it as a poultice and am wondering if it would be okay to use on an open wound? How long do you leave it on for? There are minimal instructions but there is instruction for taking it orally....what would be the purpose of this? What would or is oral application supposed to achieve/do? Thanks.

Some of these toxins may be imbedded on your intestine walls, and some of them are from your liver's bile (which is dumped into the intestine). Often times, these toxins get re-absorbed from the intestines back into the bloodstream. The clay will prevent this from happening. There is some concern that the clay will get " stuck " in your intestine, and so there is often a recommendation to take it with some psyllium, which will help keep it moving along. I've taken a lot of clay internally, but this was about 5 years ago. I didn't really notice it doing much, so I stopped. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 One thing I think I see happening with this clay is that it acts like charcoal in that it can absorb intestinal gas. I did not see this with the liquid brand by sonne. However since I started using the powdered form I notice that I don't experience the stomach bloating I can get with the physilum. I've been using two tablespoons of powdered clay to one tablespoon of physilum. > > > There are minimal instructions but there is instruction for taking it > > orally....what would be the purpose of this?
