The Best Way to Use Magnetic Detox Clay

Using magnetic detox clay as part of a bath is the best way to reduce toxin and metal buildup. Magnetic clay is all-natural and safe to use on all skin types; it may be used twice weekly for the most therapeutic benefit. According to Dr. Miriam Jang, the author of "Breakthroughs in Autism," clay baths are the fastest way to remove metals from the body.

  1. Ingredients

    • The best type of clay to use in a detox bath contains grey or green sodium/calcium smecite. Look for natural clay, which will have more benefits than agricultural or technical grades. According to Eyton's Earth, the best choices of clay are Green Wyoming bentonite, Utah bentonite and Redmond Clay, which may be added to green bentonite clay. Storing clay properly is essential to its providing the best health benefits during a bath. Store unused clay in sealed glass containers and keep it away from metals to avoid contamination.

    Creating a magnetic detox bath

    • Use clay in the bathtub only if you have modern plumbing, and do not use it if you have a septic tank. For older plumbing, the clay may stick to the pipes and cause clogging. Allowing the clay to get in the septic tank will disrupt the balance necessary for sewage. If you have a septic tank and you still wish to make a detox bath, manually remove the water from the tub and wipe up the clay once it dries.

      Begin to fill the bathtub with warm to hot water, depending on your preference. Place two to three cups of clay along the top of the water, sprinkling it in to avoid getting the clay in only one area. Let the clay sit in the tub for approximately 10 to 15 minutes so that it may become hydrated for your use.

    Bath Length

    • If you are just beginning to use clay as part of a detox bath, start out with just 15 minutes of being submerged in the clay. If you are able to stay in the bath without any side effects such as becoming tired or chilled, increase the duration of the next bath to 20 to 30 minutes.

      The clay will work as a magnet, drawing out through the skin toxins and impurities such as mercury, aluminum, copper, lead or any other metal you may have been exposed to from the environment. Use the detox clay bath twice a week for three weeks to remove toxins, giving the body a one week resting period between bathing periods.
