For healing and therapeutic purposes, clay may
be used externally and orally. Eating clay by
dissolving it in water can be a wonder working cure.
(However, not all clays are safe to eat . For details,
see Eeny, Meeny, Miny-Montmorillonite). Applied in
poultices and compresses, clay provides numerous benefits.
It can heal sores and ulcers and aid in the rebuilding of healthy tissues and cells, and even of fractured bones and vertebrae.

Clay (together with lemon) acts on capillaries, liberating them, dissolving crystals and "flakes." Its natural tendency is to absorb toxins. For example, it is useful in neutralizing intoxification caused by poisonous mushrooms and chemical acids.

Taken orally, clay initiates a many-pronged effect. In cases of organic disorders, its intense activity eliminates and destroys unhealthy cells and activates the rebuilding of healthy ones. Besides the colloidal properties of clay, it acts as a cleansing agent eliminating all noxious substances. The same sedating, relaxing, absorbing and healing action is seen in treatment of the inflammation of the intestines as well as amoebic and other types of dysentery.

All this is the 'direct action,' or the immediate action of clay on the digestive channel. But clay activity goes much further: clay not only cures minor problems, such as diarrhea and constipation through local application; it acts on all the organs-on the whole organism. Everything unhealthy, that emits negative radiations is irresistibly attracted to clay and becomes subject to immediate elimination.

For true healing to occur in a mal-functioning (or partially-functioning) organ, a remedy must do more than supply a lacking substance. Clay goes the extra mile by stimulating the deficient organ, thereby restoring the failing organ back to health.
