Heatlh Benefits Of Green Clay

Green clay, also known as sea clay, contains numerous minerals, along with decomposed plant matter. It is always green in color; if it isn't, it's not authentic green clay. The clay can be taken orally (usually in pill form) or used topically. The clay has a number of health benefits, whether used internally or externally.

Detox

• Taking green clay in pill form detoxifies your body by removing unnecessary toxins. Toxins bind to, and are absorbed by, the clay before being passed through your body.

Energy

• Once all unhealthy toxins have been cleared out of your body, your organs and processes will run more smoothly. This results in increased energy levels, as the body is no longer laboring to remove toxins.

Sore Muscle Relief

• When used as a topical ointment, green clay helps relieve sore muscles. The clay's medicinal properties that are absorbed by the skin stimulate blood flow to the muscles, while also providing anti-inflammatory properties.

Bowel Regulation

• Taking green clay orally helps regulate your bowels. Green clay can also help regulate the digestive systems of individuals with chronic diarrhea or constipation. Green clay attracts and removes toxins that may have built up in the bowels over a number of years. Toxins have a positive electrical charge, and negatively-charged clay provides natural detoxification.

Burn Treatment

• When applied topically, green clay can soothe burns, along with other skin conditions. The clay's antiseptic properties remove impurities and stimulate healing. These calming properties help reduce the inflammation and discomfort associated with many skin conditions.
