Bentonite Clay

It may seem strange to drink a clay or to apply it to your face, but bentonite clay has been used for hundreds of years by Native Americans to treat many diseases and health issues. Today, bentonite clay is used in holistic medicine as a cleanser and a detoxifier.

How Does Bentonite Clay Work As An Internal Cleanser? 

Bentonite clay works by absorbing water and swelling up. As it swells, it is stretched and spread out which increases its surface area which acts like a highly porous sponge. Toxins are attracted into the clay through electrical attraction and are bound with the clay. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (2), bentonite clay can reportedly absorb pathogenic viruses, as well as herbicides and pesticides. The bentonite and the toxins are then eliminated from the body as waste by way of a bowel movement.

Using Bentonite Clay For Face Masks 

Bentonite clay is great for face masks or poultices. It works especially well on oily skin. The mask draws oils and debris to the surface of your skin and stimulates blood flow. When you wash the clay from your face, you also wash away dead skin that clogs pores.
