Healing properties of clay are well known since ancient times. Egyptian scrolls, ancient medical documents written in old Greek and Romanian languages attest the use of this ‘natural and live earth’ in the treatment of internal inflammations, infections and burns. Jesus Christ himself called it ‘The Angel of Earth’. The healing properties of clay are miraculous. Its rich content of minerals (Fe, Ca, Mg, Si, Na, and K) makes clay one of the most powerful healing treatments. Clay has a remarkable absorption property and therefore it is recommended in the majority of illnesses and medical conditions.
It is almost hard to imagine how many riches the Earth that we walk on every day is offering us. For thousands of years, since the Homo Sapiens times, Terra has been feeding us and helped us evolve into what we are today. For millions of years Earth has blossomed, and given us grains, fruit and vegetables. And we poison it with chemicals to have bumper harvests. For millions of years Earth has been giving us oxygen through the mysterious chemistry of the water. Yet, we are cutting the trees, spilling toxic waste into rivers and water streams, polluting the air we breathe. We turn the mountains upside down searching for gold, silver and other metals without thinking of the devastation we leave behind. Nevertheless, God loves us and the earth tolerates us. Moreover, it continues to offer us our daily food, fresh air, clear waters and riches of the underground that we have not even dreamt of. And as if all these were not enough, it also helps us heal from illnesses and sufferings. In an era of science triumphs, the Earth medicine continues to make miracles.
After being extracted from the earth, the clay is being cleansed of any impurities, such as rocks, leaves and other debris; afterwards it’s being purified. Some of the great minerals in clay are: magnesium, calcium and iron, all of which help with the production of collagen in the skin. After the clay has been cleansed and dried, it has the consistency of powder.
The absorbing power of clay was used to eliminate intestinal toxins, ulcers, leprosy and tuberculosis and also used for pain relief from infections. Animals are instinctively drawn to clay due to its healing qualities. Clay baths have been scientifically proven to absorb toxic metals from the skin and body, therefore famous spas around the world offer full body clay baths.
