Clay Tips

I add ½ teaspoon dry clay powder in my coffee cup before adding the hot coffee, give it a stir and it dissolves easily. I like to add a spoonful of coconut oil last. My husband and I like it better than plain coffee. -Kelly R.

Have found that the clay powder that I bought is great for getting off leftover Sharpie ink from the dry-erase boards. Sometimes, the color ink just won't give and come completely off and renders the board useless after that.

The clay is gritty enough to mix with a little water and everything comes clean!!!!!! -Stephanie A.

Make a mixture of clay mask with a little Olive Oil  oil for open wounds and cover with Gladd Press ‘n’ Seal.

Sprinkle dry powder clay in sinks and toilet bowl and scrub as you would with and abrasive cleaner. Every time I wash out a clear glass that had clay water in it, I notice how sparkly clean it is! That gave me an idea ... to clean my bathroom sink and toilet with clay this morning. Both are now spotless and far shinier than any chemical I've ever used! Now I no longer have to worry about what toxins my skin or lungs I might pick up from chemical cleansers when I clean. Thank you, Calcium Bentonite! -Claudia C.

I Keep a small jar of powdered clay and hydrated clay in our car. If anyone ever were to get cut, sprinkle the clay directly on the wound and it will stop the bleeding. Use the hydrated for bites, wounds, sore muscles. One never knows what you will encounter when you are out and about! - Carol. R.

If I can’t do a clay bath for whatever reason? Take a Foot Bath to detox.  Regular clay foot baths are the most relaxing and help to remove toxins. You can use a square plastic tub with a lid to soak in while watching TV. It feels so good! In the beginning your feet might feel a bit tingly when you're done, but that is a sign that it is stimulating circulation and working. This seems to improve the more you do the foot soaks.

I like to use about 1/2 cup of powdered clay mixed with hot water in a blender well. Fill it half with hot water add clay and blend well blend and add more hot water to about 1 inch from the top. Again, blend well and add to the tub.  If not deep enough make another batch.

And another thing that I do to get the most out of the clay and to save money is to use the same foot bath about 3 or 4 times before throwing out that water. Just put a lid on the top and set it aside until your next foot bath. The clay still works and has drawing action throughout those multiple foot soaks. When I'm ready to do my next foot soak, I carefully skim the clear water off the top and heat it in a pan on the stove. Then pour it back into your clay water and you've got a nice hot foot bath ready.

Somewhere on the wwwBentoniteClayInfo.com website there is a scientific article that explains (in detail) some lab testing that was done on clay. It's very interesting. But one of the main things that I got out of that article was that there was good clay left over after it had soaked up the virus, fungus, bacteria and toxins from the test tube. It read something like this.... After 90 min. they measured that over 90% of the bacteria was soaked up into the clay and it had used only about 25% of the clay to do that. That tells me that there was still about 75% of good clay left in there waiting to do some more work.

When you’re done, pour the left-over clay water on your alkaline-loving plants. They love it. -H. Gage

Too much wine or alcohol. Drink clay after parting at bed time to wake up headache free.

For instant relief drink an ounce of liquid clay, Cramping instantly releases. Perry A~

Once a week I put a glob of hydrated clay under my arms for about 30 minutes before I shower to keep the lymph nodes healthy. I feel so clean and purified after doing the underarm clay treatment. Gladys M.

I do (1) hydrated clay mask a week, but I also found it a bit drying until I mixed the hydrated clay equally with plain unflavored yogurt. I leave it on for about a half hour and the results are wonderful. My skin is soft and smooth, and the mask is not drying anymore. Once a month I add a tablespoon of pure honey to the mix. I usually put the remainder of the mix on my hair as a deep conditioning treatment at the same time and find it works very well...doesn't make the hair too dry either. Yogurt has anti-fungal/anti-yeast properties.  Georgene

If you have nasal congestion, I put the mask  on my nose and sinuses and let dry. It will open the sinuses and stop post nasal drip. At night put a thin coat under the eyes and over the nose and on the upper sinuses

For sore throat, if somebody already feels the pain and scratchy throat, drink slowly the clay water. At bedtime put a teaspoon of the hydrated clay on the back of the tongue and gradually let it slide down your throat. For me it stopped the pain within minutes. -Sandi P.

Apply the clay mask to the area for instant relief. When it dries, gently remove with a wet wash rag and no more burn.

I have been using the little 2 oz. maple syrup bottles from Cracker Barrel to keep my liquid clay in for taking during the day if I am away from home. It fits perfectly in the pocketbook. Also use these bottles by the bedside to drink in the middle of the night when you have to get up. It's already mixed and in the right dose. The bottles are perfect as they are glass and have a plastic top. This might make it more convenient for some of you.  Tina C.

I've found an easy way to get my cats to take clay. If I take a small amount of the 'mud' clay and put it on their paw, they will lick it right off. Works like a charm. My cats are picky and wouldn't eat it in their food, so I'm glad I found this method. –Cora S.

I dropped my phone into the toilet. It sunk to the bottom. I got on the internet for a solution. It said to put the phone in a bag of rice for 48 hours. Being a clay user, I added clay to the rice. Covered the phone completely. After 48 hours I charged the phone and it works great. The phone company was amazed it worked after being COMPLETELY submersed in water. Yea Clay!. . Claudia
