Guest guest Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 hi I recently ordered some bentonite clay to try out for cosmetic purpose. But the moment i put the clay in hot water it becomes a lump instead of a smooth paste, has anyone any idea as to how to mix it without it turning lumpy? what else can i use the clay for apart from mask. thanks Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Sodium Bentonite is not good to use as a detox every day, it will actually plug you up. for every day use, make sure it is a Calcium Bentonite, I prefer the swelling green bentonite it is more expensive but worth it. I only use Sodium bentonite for diarrhea, it works great! Most of the time retailers will only say " bentonite clay " if it is sodium, if it is calcium they will say " Calcium Bentonite clay " here is an example, when its calcium they say calcium: http://www.livingclayco.com/products1.html MM ======= At 2009-05-31, 11:07:35 you wrote: ======= > , " thesitesfamily " <dhcsites wrote: > > > > >> >> how do you know when your getting the calicum and not the sodium type of bentonite clay? > > > >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.

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. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Dear Jay, Hi there! I have been using Bentonite Clay for nearly two years with a great deal of success. I first heard about it on one of the lists that I belong to from a lady with the initials " BT. " Girls, she was right it does work. Shortly after her email I went to an AT conference and heard 3 ladies talk about bentonite clay within 24 hours so I took this as a sign to pay attention and ask questions. I was interested in the clay for my acid reflux which it worked on like a charm. Side effects are that it can dry out your sinuses too much if you drink it too late in the day. The formula is as follows: for an 16 to 20 oz. bottle of water add " 1/8 tsp. " of bentonite clay. Shake well and drink throughout the day. For a 32 oz. bottle of water add " 1/4 tsp. " of bentonite clay and shake well. Drink too much clay water in a day and you get dry mouth and dry sinuses. If you put too much clay in the water you get constipated. Small amounts keep you moving normally. My acid reflux is under control and I don't have to take the bentonite clay like I did for over a year. I was extremely skeptical about using the clay but I learned differently. If you need any more help, email me. Good luck with your husband's problem. My husband won't even try the clay. He said that he was not going to eat dirt. lol. Take care. Have a great weekend.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 you do not take it every day, do you? I would be afraid it would pull out some of the good minerals etc that your body needs if you took it every day....(Honestly, I do not know the answer to this question,, but would like to! thanks!) - Rhavda Friday, July 24, 2009 4:44 PM Re: bentonite clay Dear Jay, Hi there!

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I personally have not tried these products. There is a on clay and they talk about a product called " The Living Clay " . The website is http://www.livingclayco.com/ and here is another one http://www.clayhealing.com/about_calcium_bentonite.htm I just googled the terms " living clay " or " therapeutic clay " and there were quite a few listed.
