Clay Bath ? Bentonite clay?

November 28, 2008

Hello Listmates - I recently came across some information that read

that Clay has been found to have a wonderful chelating effect when

applied trans-dermaly indicating that Clay has wonderful effect of

pulling heavy metals gently out of our system. It also cautions about

not using local clay unless you are 100% sure it is unpolluted and

contains no heavy metals, especially to look for pure Bentonite clay.

Has anyone tried this? Is this any good?

Thanks,

Maya

Hey Yes we have some, I think there is no need to worrie too much about the

purity of it if just bathing in it some people also drink it. We add 2 cups to

bath of warm water, the last bath we had, I was so drained afterward and body

ached!! So perhaps just start with small amount it is very powerful stuff, it

pull good minerals out so drink lots of fluids befor bath etc. And have a good

dinner.

Hi Maya, I have used bentonite clay many times, over a period

of many years (although less in the last 5 years or so?)

I was not trying to treat ASD. I attended a class about it

at an herbal conference. It has lots of uses. It is very " drawing " .

For example, it can be used on an infected cut (a paste of clay).

Bentonite is often mixed with water and drunk with the intention of

cleaning the colon (again, it is very drawing). I'm aware of

a colon cleanse product that has bentonite as one of the

ingredients. Probably you are reading about using it in baths.

I've taken dozens of baths with bentonite. My personal belief

is that it doesn't cannot affect mercury in areas it is not

touching. I don't have any particular proof of this, but it

makes sense to me. I'm also NOT saying that it does affect

mercury at all. But, if it does, I don't see that it could

have any systemic effect.

Some health food stores sell bentonite by the ounce -- probably

for people who want to take it orally (It is too expensive to

buy enough for a bath this way). If you want to use it, you

can buy it from some clay stores. Much cheaper. Call around.

I ordered 10 or 20 pounds (or maybe it was more?) several years

ago and still have some. Bentonite is a breathing hazard -- take care

not to inhale the powder as you are mixing it or measuring it.

best,

Moria
