Description: Bentonite clay (Montmorillonite) From Wyoming, USA where it is sun-dried for up to six months. Historically used by American Indians for purification and healing. Clays have been used for centuries to beautify & refresh when used as a facial mask. Cleopatra used clay from the Nile river and the Arabian desert over 1,800 years ago as part of her beauty ritual. German and Roman spas have been using clay packs and treatments in the spas they built 4,000 years ago. Many of these spas still exist and use clay even today. Piney the Elder devoted an entire chapter of his Natural History to the many uses of clay, pimples, blackheads and skin tightening. Many famous naturopaths, such as Kuhn, Just and Kneipp have contributed to the revival of the uses of clay through their natural treatments. The use of clay with apple cider vingar can be dated back to the Southern French Priest of the 16th Century Kneipp and his natural treatments using clay packs and poultices. It is 61% silica but also contains 18% aluminum (does not absorb into your bloodstream), and small amounts of iron, sodium, and magnesium. It is alkaline, with a pH of 8.3 to 9.1.(1) To control itching – A simple "mud pack" made with bentonite clay and enough water to create a thick cream can help control the itch and dry up blisters, herbalists say.
