Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 French Green Clay.. http://www.scent-by-nature.co.uk/greenclay.htm French Green Clay, known as illite, is a 100% natural bio-organic material. Over thousands of years in the earth it absorbs a wealth of essential healing minerals from the plant kingdom including Silica, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Cobalt, Manganese, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Aluminium, Phosphorous, & Sodium. After removal from the ground the Illite is naturally sun-dried, capturing the solar energy which activates the vital minerals and trace elements within.We know that centuries ago our ancient ancestors knew of the healing powers of clay and, along with plants, herbs & other natural substances, was vital to ancient man in the absence of modern medicine. Today, however, as we increasingly steer away from much of conventional 21st century treatments and natural alternatives are becoming more popular, the benefits of clay are being rediscovered across the world. In France in particular the therapeutic use of clay is now commonplace and substantial numbers of users have testified to its success in treating a wide range of disorders. At Scent By Nature, we supply 100% pure Sun-dried French Green Clay, the finest of all clays.Where Does Illite Come From?Sun-dried French Green Clay has been extracted from quarries in France by a specialist company for over 50 years. The chosen sites are pollution-free and selected for their high mineral content. Drying is carried out exclusively by the sun and the clay is produced without preservatives and inspected according to the meticulous standards of the International Standards Organization (I.S.O). This guarantees that we can consistently supply Illite Clay of the highest purity & quality.How Can Green Clay Help Me?Illite can be taken orally or used topically for a wide range of ailments. The clay is a powerful detoxifier with an extraordinary absorbant capacity. It acts like a magnet to draw out impurites from the body while the essential minerals within the clay are released and the body absorbs those it needs to aid healing, thereby restoring health & vigour. French Green Clay is a powerful bactericide, hindering the exacerbation of infection. Indeed, one of the most remarkable characteristics of illite is its ability to go directly to the area of the body where it is most needed. Unlike chemical medicines which can destroy healthy tissues and beneficial bacteria as well as bad, illite is entirely selective in seeking out pathogenic microbes and diseased tissue cells allowing healing to take place at an accelerated rate. Green Clay also possesses analgesic, anti-inflammatory properties effective in relieving muscular, arthritic or rheumatic pains by decongesting the affected area. In addition, Illite is a valuable beauty treatment and is the main ingredient in many natural face masks, bath & spa products. It stimulates the circulation of blood and lymph, removes dead skin cells, absorbs impurities & fats and tones & strengthens connective tissues to leave skin smooth, fresh & radiant.How Do I Use Illite Clay?Sun-dried French Green Clay is exceptionally versatile and can be used in a variety of different ways: INTERNAL USE: Clay can be taken orally as an internal cleanser to eliminate toxins from the body and fight fatigue. Preparation: Mix a teaspoon of Illite in a glass of mineral water using a non-metal spoon. Allow to stand overnight and in the morning drink the clay milk or just the clear water on an empty stomach.

Leave in place for up to 2 hours but do not allow the paste to dry. Discard the poultice and re-apply a fresh one if required.
