Description
Natural clay, has been used medicinally for centuries by indigenous peoples around the world. Recently, it has been increasingly prescribed by practitioners of alternative medicine as a simple but effective internal cleanser to assist in reversing numerous health problems. It is one of the most effective natural intestinal detoxifying agents available and has been recognized as such for centuries by native peoples around the world.
Clay contains minerals which enter the gastrointestinal tract and absorb toxins and deliver mineral nutrients. Clay cleanses the digestive system, eliminates toxins, fights fatigue, improves intestinal regularity, provides relief from chronic constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and ulcers, increases energy, improves the complexion, enhances alertness, improves tissue and gum repair, increases resistance to infections, and cleanses the intestines after food or chemical poisoning.
First used centuries ago by the Romans, Greeks and Ancient Egyptians to treat a wide variety of ailments its application is becoming increasingly widespread, especially in France where its successes have been well documented. Clay, which is produced from quarries in France to meticulous international standards to ensure its purity, has lain in the ground for thousands of years. During this time it absorbs a wealth of vegetable and mineral micro-nutrients.

The three types of clays vary in colour, but are similar in terms of health benefits and chemical composition. Healing clays may be used externally in masks or mud packs for bone breaks, burns, cuts, and skin wounds. They may be taken internally for stomach or gastrointestinal tract concerns, food poisoning, or heavy metal poisoning. They all have absorptive properties and have the ability to draw out toxins and impurities when used inside or outside the body. However, each clay reacts differently with each individual, and it is difficult to say which clay would work best for any given person's health needs. We can summarize some of the general properties of each type of clay we offer, however.
White Clay
White clay, or kaolin clay, is considered the mildest of the colored clays. Due to its inability to draw out oils from the skin, when used topically, it is deemed suitable for those with sensitive or dry skin. For internal use, white clay would be best for those with very sensitive systems requiring a mild detoxifying action. Anyone prone to constipation or dehydration should begin a detoxification regime with a mild white clay. As with any clay for internal use, large quantities of quality water must be consumed regularly throughout each day of use. Some people find that occasional use of a natural herbal laxative (like cascara sagrada) or supplemental fiber (like psyllium) is helpful for maintaining proper eliminations.
I will post the exact mineral breakdown for the white clay as soon as the information is made available to me.
Green Clay
Our Green Clay is a French Green Clay (not necessarily sourced from France) also called Illite. Green Clay seems to be the most sought after due to its natural green colour indicating the presence of therapeutic decomposed seaweeds and other algaes. Green Illite Clay is widely considered the most flexible, the most adaptable, and is the most popular of all the clays. It is a non-swelling clay falling between white (the mildest) and grey clay (the strongest) in terms of absorptive properties; nevertheless, it is the most versatile of the three clays. Here is the mineral breakdown of our Green Clay:
Silica - 47 - 52%
Aluminum - 13 -15%
Calcium - 7 - 9%
Iron - 4 - 6%
Potassium - 3 - 5%
Magnesium - 2 - 3%
Sodium - 0.1 - 0.3%
Magnesium - 0.1 - 0.3%
Phosphoris - 0.1 - 0.2%
Copper - 20 +/- 10 ppm
Cobalt - 15 +/- 10 ppm
Lithium - 3 +/- 1 ppm
Molybdene - < 1 ppm
Gray Clay
Gray clay, or bentonite, is not as versatile as green clay nor as mild as white clay. Gray clay, a silica-rich volcanic ash byproduct, is, nevertheless, the most powerful internal clanser and detoxifier of the three clays. It has the ability to draw toxins into its porous sponge-like caverns as it swells up when taken internally. This makes it especially useful for absorbing intestinal parasites and harmful bacteria, facilitating the healing of stomach ulcers, or simply for regular maintenance of the gastrointestinal tract. Here is the mineral breakdown of our Gray Clay:
Silica - 55.7%
Aluminum - 28.9%
Titanium - 1.2%
Iron - 1.1 %
Calcium - 0.2%
Magnesium - 0.4%
Potassium - 1%
Sodium - 0.3%
