For centuries, doctors have used green clay as a means of healing the whole body
Over time, toxins accumulate in our body. Because of the air we breathe. Because of the water we drink. Because of the pesticides that our food contains.
Ayurveda says that toxins can also be created due to poor digestion - when we eat too much or combine foods incorrectly.
Over the years, toxins and heavy metals accumulate in our body and can cause numerous problems, such as: skin diseases; allergy and asthma; depression; migraines, flatulence, indigestion; chronic fatigue; cancer..
That is why it is necessary to regularly cleanse the body of toxins and heavy metals.
Green clay is one of the natural remedies that cleans the body efficiently and quickly, while not harming our health.
Green clay throughout history
Along with the sun, air and water, whose vital elements it contains, clay is one of the most powerful and oldest means of physical renewal.
It has multiple healing effects on the body - it promotes wound healing, cleans and nourishes the skin.
Many generations before us believed in the power of clay.
In ancient Egypt, the healing power of clay was well known. Green clay was used to heal and mummify pharaohs.
The ancient Greeks used clay to treat fractures: they placed plaster strips smeared with clay mud on the fracture.
Dioscorides spoke about the fact that clay has extraordinary healing powers. He believed that clay has "divine intelligence" and finds and cures all diseases in the body by itself.
Galen, a famous Greek philosopher and physician, wrote a treatise on green clay treatment.
The Arabs Avicenna, "prince among physicians", taught clay therapy to thousands of his students.
How green clay works
It is still not completely clear how green clay works. Some assume that clay has exceptional absorbent power, which is why it absorbs all impurities and pathogens from the body.
Others believe that clay has a special "intelligence", with the help of which it finds and removes irregularities in the body's work.
Some associate the healing power of clay with its negative charge. They believe that precisely because of its negative charge, green clay attracts and binds to itself all particles that are positively charged
. Positively charged particles in our body are bacteria, viruses, toxins, etc. In addition to binding harmful substances and expelling them from the body through the digestive tract, clay also provides us with the necessary elements.
Namely, clay contains over 60 minerals and trace elements that nourish and heal our body. Russian scientists have discovered that the use of clay can neutralize the effects of radiation.
That's why clay is used in nuclear accidents, to absorb radiation as much as possible.
Types and composition of clay
In nature you can find green, yellow, white and red clay. But only green clay is used for healing and cleansing the body.
There are several types of green clay, and the most famous clay mines are located in France and Sicily. Depending on where it was mined, each clay contains a unique percentage of various minerals and trace elements.
Green clay contains selenium, magnesium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, manganese, copper, silicon, sodium and other minerals and trace elements.
Thanks to the wealth of natural nutrients, clay has multiple healing effects on the body.
How to use green clay to cleanse the body
Green clay that can be taken orally must be certified for oral use. Such clay is commercially called ventilated clay.
Before going to bed, stir a full teaspoon of ventilated green clay in 2 dcl of water (unboiled, preferably spring water). Do not use a metal spoon or cup - the clay must not come into contact with the metal.
Take the clay in the morning after getting up or in the evening before going to bed.
If desired, you can take the clay one hour before eating.
Take the clay in the following way:
1. Sundays: drink only water in the morning without stirring, and throw away the residue
2. Sundays: stir in the morning, leave for 5 minutes for the sediment to settle, and drink the water
3. Sundays: stir in the morning and immediately drink the water together with the clay
Then take a break.
You can repeat this round of body cleansing 2-4 times a year.
