Holistic Uses of Clinoptilolite Zeolite

Clinoptilolite zeolite is most often taken as a supplement for removing toxins from the body, but it is also said to improve the body's pH, act as an antioxidant and aid with healing wounds. While the Food and Drug Administration has not approved it, many believe clinoptilolite zeolite is a helpful alternative therapy.

Removing Toxins

• While clinoptilolite zeolite is not naturally found in the human body, some people take it in liquid form to remove toxins from the body. It's thought to work at the cellular level by trapping heavy metals and toxins in its honeycomb-like structures and removing them from the body through urine.

Improving the Body’s pH

• Another holistic use of clinoptilolite zeolite is in balancing the body’s pH levels. The pH scale measures the acidity or alkaline/base of a substance. According to Dr. Gary Tunsky, "pH is “the regulatory authority that controls cell processes.” This is important because foreign cells do not grow in pH-balanced environments. Clinoptilolite zeolite may help balance your body’s pH and improve your ability to resist some diseases.

Antioxidant

• In an article published by the Association of the Chemical Engineers of Serbia (AchE), it was reported that activated, natural clinoptilolite zeolite has been shown to have positive effects as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are dietary substances that can prevent damage to cells in your body or repair damage that has been done. Clinoptilolite zeolite was also recognized by AchE for its ability to help to heal wounds.
