I have Yerba Prima from Great Plains--liquid form. Says to take one tablespoon in liquid. Would you know if this is a good quality?

Thanks

The company you purchase any clay from should be able to tell you what kind of clay it is and also give you a chemical analysis of their product.<<<I was told by one of the people on this thread that calcium bentonite is the clay to purchase, and that the sodium is not good.>>> This is misinformation. Both calcium and sodium bentonites have their uses, and each of these clays can have many beneficial healing properties, as long as they come from pure sources and are uncontaminated and minimally processed.<<I purchased the

sonny 7 clay and contacted the company because I was told it was the sodium kind of clay->>> Do you mean Sonne's #7?If so, you've purchased an inferior clay product. Sonne's is highly processed as well as being pre-hydrated, and chances are it has been irradiated and/or otherwise sterilized which destroys much of any clay's original healing properties.<<< I never knew there were different kinds of this clay- >>>Yes, there are many different kinds of clay that can be used both internally and externally, and if utilized properly, can be very effective for healing and cleansing on a number of different levels.<<<<I just want more input from others who have used bentonite clay.>>> The best clays to purchase are pure, powdered clays from reputable sources. Once you have the powder and store it correctly, it will last indefinitely, because chances are it's already

millions of years old! Then you can hydrate small amounts of clay with the purest water you can find as you need it for various purposes. Hydrated clay or clay water can be taken internally for detoxification. Hydrated clay can also used externally for wound healing or in packs or poultices for improving circulation and drawing out toxins or infections. Clay powder can also be sprinkled into baths for soaking, which is very helpful again for detoxification and drawing poisons, heavy metals and other pathogens out of the body.<<<Any advice for a novice?>>>> Use your computer's search engine to find information on clay, and/or purchase some good books on the subject and educate yourself so you understand what clay is, how it works, and what kinds of clay are the best and most effective to use for different applications.One of the best places to start learning about clay is by going to Jason Eaton's
