What are the Benefits of French Green Clay?

Clay acts as natural poison control

Both in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, clay has long been used as a very effective natural anti-poison. It has a strong absorbent power which attracts poisons, toxins, and impurities from the digestive tract without releasing them. It is an effective way to cleanse the digestive system and rid the intestine of toxins, germs, worms, and pathogenic bacteria without destroying the intestinal flora as would antibiotics.

Clay takes stock of our bodies

Not only does its absorbent power eliminate gases, but clay also evacuates toxic substances. This can initially generate surprise in terms of transit before allowing it to regain normal and regulated activity by means of a healthy intestine. This is a simple process of elimination, which may fleetingly bring to light latent problems not yet identified. 

Clay repairs mucous membranes

Thanks to its healing and regenerating properties, clay is a powerful ally against ulcers, inflammation, and intestinal porosity. Leaky gut syndrome results from a damaged intestinal wall, which is no longer able to properly filter assimilated molecules. This potentially results in immune problems, various allergies, thyroid problems and skin problems. Clay is a key step in stopping this process and restoring the gut. "Its antiseptic properties optimize the regenerative functions of clay in terms of purification and cell reconstitution of damaged tissues, until complete healing is achieved through an entirely natural intervention," explains Bernard Baudouin in his book Clay and Its Virtues.

Clay acts as an anti-inflammatory

Long used on the fragile joints of horses, clay is now an essential part of our first aid kit to fight against inflammation: bones, muscles, and joints. Clay is also an asset for cases of sciatica (even internally) to help relieve toxins on targeted nerves.

Clay remineralizes the body

Clay is very rich in minerals, especially iron, silica, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. It is therefore recommended as a prevention or remedy for deficiencies to replenish your vitality. It is also useful for those who exercise regularly, consume tobacco and alcohol, or practice any other activity that results in the loss of minerals.
