Using Therapeutic Clay

Clay is one of the most healing substances known to humankind.  Many indigenous cultures around the world have used clay to heal everything from toothaches to tumors to headaches to staph infections.

Clay is a powerful detoxifying substance.  It pulls and draws toxic substances and inflammation out of the body.  Sometimes it creates blood blisters or even draining sores when applied consistently over areas of toxic accumulation.  This is actually a good thing, as it shows the clay is pulling out toxicity from body cells.  They will heal and clear up as soon as the toxicity is cleared from the local area.

I prefer the use of herbal drawing clays (historically known as escharotic plasters) for cancer treatment, and treating any degenerative or chronic disease that results from toxic accumulation in the body.  They are effective in removing heavy metals, mercury, radioactive residue, chemicals, soap, shampoo, cosmetic residue, and pharmaceutical drug residue from the body.

Some people prefer to use clay in baths, which can detoxify gradually with little effort and gentle effects (usually only a feeling of exhaustion).  For those who are using natural means to heal cancers, tumors, or infections, I recommend mixing clay with ground herbs, essential oils, and water, and applying it directly to the body.  Some recipes follow.

There are some clays that are much stronger detoxifiers than others.  Some of the best clays for this purpose include Moroccan clay (gray), Aztec clay (green), and Pascalite (ivory).  Some blue, yellow, and red clays can also be effective, but not all are the best choice for this purpose.

If you do not want to  make your own blend, there is a set of very effective and clean formulas using Moroccan clay and herbs, available from Jash Botanicals.  I have used their mercury detox and the clear out detox formulas for myself and others, with great success.  The link to this website is here:

A few recipes for you to play with:

Detoxifying Mud Pack

Combine:  

• 2 T. Pascalite
• 1 T.  Aztec healing clay or Moroccan clay
• 1 t. comfrey root powder
• 1/2 t. turmeric essential oil
• Water or Devil’s club hydrosol, just enough to create a paste.  

Use within a few weeks or discard.  Store in refrigerator to help extend shelf life.  This mud pack should be applied to the skin and allowed to dry for 10 to 20 minutes.  Rinse with warm water to remove, then follow with a salve, oil, or creme to restore moisture and rejuvenate skin.  

If break out occurs, do not stop using the pack until wound opens and drains.  Then take a little time off and allow scab to form.  Apply healing salve until skin is healed.  If you suspect that there is more toxicity in the area, you can repeat the whole process again. If it breaks out again, this is a sign that there is still more toxic accumulation to clear.

Herbal ingredients you can add if more escharotic strength is needed include:

• Golden seal powder
• Sheep sorrel  

These are potent and should be used sparingly!

Herbal Healing Salve

Combine:

• 1 ounce unrefined Shea butter
• 8 to 10 drops rose otto
• 25 drops Terebenthine pine,  Pinon pine or Ponderosa pine essential oil

Melt Shea butter in a small pan, over low heat.  Remove from heat as soon as it is all liquified.  Allow to cool and add essential oils.  When salve is beginning to solidify, stir well and scoop into a jar.  Cover and use within a few weeks.

Alternative ingredients to try:

• Lavender-for pain relief
• Grapefruit essential oil-for skin parasites
• All citrus essential oils-for stimulating circulation
• Neem essential oil-for skin regeneration
• Yarrow, frankincense, and other anti-cancer oils

Skin Rejuvenating Oil

Combine:

• 1 ounce unrefined coconut oil
• 3 ounces jojoba
• 10 drops rose hip seed CO2 extract, or seabuckthorn berry extract
• 25 drops evening primrose extract
• 5 drops rose otto
•  10 drops neem CO2 extract
• 4 drops helichrysum (everlasting essential oil)

Other oils to try:  Turmeric, rosemary, neroli, ylang ylang, yarrow, chamomile, myrrh

Using LL Magnetic Clay Blends

If you are using the clay blends from the Jash Botanical link above, here are the mixing instructions:  

• Mix 1 slightly rounded teaspoon clay mixture with 1/4 cup water
• Stir well--it takes awhile to mix
• Apply to body
• Let it dry for 10 to 20 minutes
• Wash off with a cloth and warm water
• Apply skin regenerating oil or salve
• Repeat several times weekly if you are healing cancer or a degenerative disease!  It will take time and many repetitions to rid the body of toxicity.
