Bentonite Clay Uses

 Bentonite Clay, also referred to as Montmorillonite clay powder, is one of the most effective and powerful healing clays. Bentonite can be used externally as a clay poultice, mud pack, or in the bath and, in skin care recipes. A good quality Bentonite Clay Powder should be a grey/cream color and anything bordering “pure white” is suspect. It has a very fine, velveteen feel and is odorless and non-staining.

Natural Bentonite Clay is composed of aged volcanic ash. The name comes from the largest known deposit of Bentonite Clay located in Fort Benton, Wyoming. Pure Bentonite Clay is a common ingredient in detox and cleansing products. It has an alkalizing effect on the body and when taken correctly, it can help balance gut bacteria.

Bentonite Clay Powder is a unique clay due to its ability to produce an “electrical charge” when hydrated. Upon contact with fluid, its electrical components change, giving it the ability to absorb toxins. Natural Bentonite Clay Powder is known for its ability to absorb and remove toxins, heavy metals, impurities, and chemicals.
