With the rising cost of medicine today, many people are back to traditional medicines that can give them a good effect for treatment of various diseases. Bentonite clay has been found to be one of the most effective natural cures for diseases that can match the healing ability of ordinary medicines with the following benefits:

First, bentonite clay has a cooling effect in the affected part of the body. Its cooling effect is more powerful than a wet pack. If you are afflicted with high fever, the heat can be eliminated with the use of a mud pack. In your aim to lower your body’s temperature, you have to change the bentonite clay with a new one frequently until the heat is finally gone. In this case, you must leave the clay pack uncovered to produce a cooling effect.

As well as having a cooling effect, it also has a warming effect. To do this you have to keep it covered. If you have a wound of boil that needs a hot compress leave it on it for about 30 or up to an hour, or until the pain is gone. This also absorbs the toxins or wastes coming out of your body. You will find if you you put the clay on a boil that has puss inside for about an hour that the puss is gone and it has started the healing process.  Read more...

Taylorite Clay or now known as Bentonite Clay contains natural healing powers that come right from mother nature. It was first named after William Taylor who first discovered it in Fort Benton, Wyoming. It was then called Taylorite Clay, named after him. It was then found that they were clay deposits. It was found in 1888. It was later found that the name Taylorite Clay was already taken by a mineral in England so they had to change the name. The name was changed to Bentonite Clay by Dr. Sam Knight, a geologist in Wyoming.

There are two classes of bentonite according to research. There are Sodium Bentonite and Calcium Bentonite. Which ones they are depends on the elements that are in the clay. When mixed with a high amount of water you are able to create waterproof agents and sealants that can be found in different types of cleaners.

The latter kind of Clay Bentonite on the other hand, does not absorb water but oils and fat. It is often argued upon who were the early users of such clay. Bentonite as discovered, were first used by Native Americans as agents for bleaching that were used for cleaning. Aside from this, the deposits were used for their spiritual ceremonies. Whenever you think of Native Americans, the Wild Wild West is often associated with them and it was a good thing to know that the same mineral was used for wagons, horse hooves and roofs as sealants.  Read more...
