Special Precautions of Green Clay

  • Before you start with internal use of green clay powder or with a green clay detox cure, you must first contact your GP or the attending physician.

  • Because green clay has a strong absorbent capacity, it can reduce the effect of medication. It is important to use green clay internally at least an hour before or an hour after taking the medication.
  • Read the manufacturer's instructions carefully before starting with green clay drinking cure. There are different types of clay. Not every type is suitable for internal use.
  • After applying the green clay mask, rinse it in the sink or shower. Reusing green clay mask that you have previously used on your skin is not good. Because it has absorbed all the harmful substances and free radicals.
  • When purchasing a prepared green clay mask, one should study the ingredients list carefully. Conventionally manufactured green clay mask with synthetic ingredients, parabens, silicones or sulfates can negatively affect the skin.

Health Benefits and Uses of Green Clay

It cleanses the body of harmful substances, strengthens the immune system and promotes the healing of injuries and injuries. This is only part of the positive properties of green clay for humans.

  • slows down skin aging : Our skin is exposed to free radicals on a daily basis. Did you know that 80% of visible skin aging is caused by overexposure to the sun, air pollution, sleep deprivation, stress, alcohol and cigarettes? From this we can conclude that we largely even determine how our skin looks. Green clay is not only cleansing but is also rich in minerals that nourish the skin. Thanks to its mineral-rich composition, it stimulates blood circulation and thus promotes cell renewal in the skin.
  • Effective solution against oily skin : The cause of oily skin is often excess sebum production by the sebaceous glands. The skin produces sebum to protect itself against negative external influences. When the sebum production is not in balance with the daily used sebum, a visible fat layer is formed on the skin. The disadvantages of oily skin include that it is more prone to inflammation and acne formation. Regularly applying an organic green clay maskon the face reduces oily skin. The green clay does this by reducing the excess sebum formation and normalizing the functioning of the sebaceous glands. This is done without drying out the skin. It is important not to dry out the skin because the skin will then produce more sebum to protect itself.
  • Acne is the result of clogged and inflamed pores. The green clay has a detoxifying effect. It treats the clogged pores and has an anti-inflammatory function. Since green clay also regulates sebum production, it prevents clogged and inflamed pores. Acne is more than something superficial, it is a condition that is often the result of an internal imbalance. A number of factors influence this. It can be an imbalance, caused by hormone fluctuations, stress, poor nutrition or by external environmental factors. It is important not only to treat the acne superficially but also to tackle the cause. A healthier diet, daily exercise and sufficient relaxation will help you progress. This is done without affecting the natural protective layer of the skin.
  • Cleanser for sensitive skin Green clay is an effective cleanser for sensitive skin. Thanks to its mild structure, it deeply cleanses the skin without drying it out. Green clay is used to replace cleansing soap in people with an allergic reaction to skin cleansers and soap. Rarely, a pure natural green clay powder can cause allergic reactions or skin irritations. It is suitable even for the most sensitive skin type.
  • Relieves bags under the eyes and dark circles around the eyes. Bags under the eyes and dark circles around the eyes have various causes. It can have both an internal and an external cause. Too little sleep, stress and bad eating habits are some examples of this. Green clay eye mask is a popular means to reduce the bags under the eyes and dark circles around the eyes. The natural eye mask absorbs the accumulated toxic substances under the skin and promotes blood circulation.

Positive effect in reducing cellulite or orange peel

  • Cellulite or orange peel is some uneven bumpy structure in the skin caused by subcutaneous connective tissue structure that presses against the skin surface. Cellulite is not a disease, it is completely harmless and therefore has nothing to do with local inflammatory disease of the skin cellulite. 90% of all slim or curvy women have cellulite. The causes of orange peel can be hereditary. But poor nutrition, little exercise, smoking, aging, hormonal imbalance, stress or too much burden on the liver can also trigger cellulite. The use of birth control pills can also cause orange peel. With a healthy diet and daily exercise you can already reduce your cellulite to a certain extent. This of course depends on the cause per person. Green clay absorbs impurities and grease. It also stimulates blood and lymph circulation. Due to these properties, this natural type of clay is a natural means to reduce cellulite and subcutaneous fat deposits and make it more even.
  • Beneficial effect of green clay on hair and scalp : Natural remedy for dandruff, dandruff and itchy scalp : Hair flakes are dead skin cells that peel off when new hair cells are formed. In people who suffer from dandruff, the scalp cells renew twice as fast as normal. As a result, there are twice as many old skin cells that shed. Why some people suffer from dandruff more than others is still unknown. It can be a hereditary factor and or a large presence of a certain type of yeast. Often people with oily scalp suffer from dandruff. This is due to the excessive sebum production by the sebaceous glands. Green clay regulates the sebum production of the scalp. It detoxifies the scalp from fungi and bacteria without harming the scalp.
  • Treats oily hair : Green clay is an effective regulator of oil and sebum produced by the scalp. It absorbs the excess oil from the scalp, ensures that the sebaceous glands produce sebum in a balanced way. In addition, green clay relieves itching thanks to its neutralizing effect on harmful bacteria. Oily hair is the result of excess sebum and oil. The scalp produces excessive sebum, which creates a layer of fat on the scalp. This has consequences such as an itchy and irritated scalp. In addition, it makes the scalp sensitive to fungi and hair flakes.

For stronger and more voluminous hair

  • Rich in minerals, trace elements and enzymes such as calcium, magnesium, iron, silicon,.. Thanks to its rich composition, green clay nourishes the hair. Brittle and dull hair are often the result of exposure to harmful environmental influences. Shampoos and styling products that contain silicones and sulfates are very harmful to the hair and scalp. The silicone forms a layer around the hair, which prevents the hair from breathing. They suffocate the hair and this makes the hair heavy and lifeless. When green clay comes into contact with the hair and scalp, it absorbs those silicones and free radicals from the hair and scalp. This ensures that the hair looks healthy again and becomes more voluminous.
  • Brushing teeth with green clay? Natural repair of caries. Caries or tooth decay occurs as a result of de-mineralization of the tooth tissue. This is done by the bacteria in the plaque that convert sugars into acid. It attacks the teeth and causes them to break down. Green clay contains a high content of minerals. When brushing the teeth with green clay, the teeth come into contact with valuable minerals. Thus, it ensures re-mineralization of the teeth. This contributes to a natural recovery of the teeth. Argital toothpastes are organic toothpastes based on green clay. No abrasives are used with these toothpastes because green clay has a very cleaning effect without damaging the teeth. In addition, green clay has important properties as written above.
  • Reduces bad breath : Suffering from bad breath can be experienced as very annoying. Conventional toothpastes and mouthwashes with synthetic ingredients only mask the problem and have a long-term negative impact on oral hygiene. In this case, the cause of bad breath must be addressed. Bad smelling breath is caused by residual bacteria on the back of the tongue, around the teeth or due to gum disease. Green clay addresses the cause of bad breath. The highly absorbent power of green clay cleanses the mouth of harmful bacteria and dirt. This not only helps to prevent bad breath but also gum disease.
  • Relieves muscle and joint pain : For back pain, muscle pain and joint pain, compresses are made from green clay, which are then applied to the painful areas. In addition to re-mineralizing, detoxifying properties, green clay also has restorative and analgesic properties. Green clay treatment is used in spas and massage centers for recovery from muscle and joint pain, back pain and other ailments.
  • First aid for injuries : Traditionally, green clay has been used as first aid for cuts, insect bites and abrasions. Green clay is mixed with water and applied directly to the affected area. Because green clay removes the infections by preventing bacteria from spreading further, it speeds up the healing of the cuts.
  • For internal use Detox cure with green clay powder Ventilated fine Green clay powder has been used worldwide for centuries to detoxify the body. Not every green clay powder is suitable for this. For oral use, it is a very fine ventilated green clay powder intended for this purpose. Green clay powder is negatively charged. The toxins, chemicals and heavy metal particles in our body are positively charged. Green clay powder binds and removes toxins and waste that our body cells excrete. It promotes organ function by reducing the overload of toxins filtered by the kidneys, liver and lymphatic system.
  • as natural poison control : Both in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, clay has long been used as a very effective natural anti-poison. It has a strong absorbent power which attracts poisons, toxins, and impurities from the digestive tract without releasing them. It is an effective way to cleanse the digestive system and rid the intestine of toxins, germs, worms, and pathogenic bacteria without destroying the intestinal flora as would antibiotics.
  • Clay takes stock of our bodies : Not only does its absorbent power eliminate gases, but clay also evacuates toxic substances. This can initially generate surprise in terms of transit before allowing it to regain normal and regulated activity by means of a healthy intestine. This is a simple process of elimination, which may fleetingly bring to light latent problems not yet identified.
  • Repairs mucous membranes : Thanks to its healing and regenerating properties, clay is a powerful ally against ulcers, inflammation, and intestinal porosity. Leaky gut syndrome results from a damaged intestinal wall, which is no longer able to properly filter assimilated molecules. This potentially results in immune problems, various allergies, thyroid problems and skin problems. Clay is a key step in stopping this process and restoring the gut. "Its antiseptic properties optimize the regenerative functions of clay in terms of purification and cell reconstitution of damaged tissues, until complete healing is achieved through an entirely natural intervention," explains Bernard Baudouin in his book Clay and Its Virtues.
  • Acts as an anti-inflammatory : Long used on the fragile joints of horses, clay is now an essential part of our first aid kit to fight against inflammation: bones, muscles, and joints. Clay is also an asset for cases of sciatica (even internally) to help relieve toxins on targeted nerves.
  • Remineralizes the body : Clay is very rich in minerals, especially iron, silica, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. It is therefore recommended as a prevention or remedy for deficiencies to replenish your vitality. It is also useful for those who exercise regularly, consume tobacco and alcohol, or practice any other activity that results in the loss of minerals.
  • Green clay against fungus : Green clay removes toxins and harmful bacteria in the bloodstream through the pores and sweat glands from the body. Thanks to its antifungal function, it is suitable for treating athlete's foot. A green clay foot bath twice a week helps to reduce the unpleasant odors of sweaty feet. Green clay reduces diaper rash Diaper rash is an inflammation of the skin, usually on the baby's bottom. This can happen from prolonged exposure to stool and urine. Care products with synthetic, irritating ingredients cause diaper rash. Green clay is a 100% natural remedy suitable for very sensitive and hypoallergenic skin. The clay powder is mixed with water until it has a paste-like consistency. Then it is applied to the site of the rash.
  • Green clay for horses, dogs and other animals : Humanity discovered the healing power of green clay and other types of clay thanks to the animals that treated their injuries with it. The farmers noted that the injured animals wallowed in the mud in certain places and as a result recovered more quickly. Today, loam is used on horses that have suffered lower leg injuries. Green clay paste helps horses that suffer from thick legs. This condition occurs because fluid buildup occurs when more fluid is supplied than removed. Green clay helps to extract that accumulated moisture.
  • Important means of combating radiation. Since clay has a strong absorbent capacity, it can even remove the harmful substances from the environment by absorbing them. An example of application of Bentonite clay for environmental cleaning is after the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl. In Ukraine they have used very large amounts of Bentonite clay to fight the radioactive radiation in those areas. In addition, firefighters and the local population were given green clay to detoxify their bodies from radiation and heavy metals.
