Clay preparation method

A high-quality clay mass must be carefully dried, and any heat source, for example, the sun, a stove, is suitable for this.

Further, large pieces should be broken with a hammer, brought to a powdery state. After that, carry out a complete cleaning of impurities. Fill a burnt earthenware vessel, and in the absence of one, ordinary enameled dishes will do.

Then fill clean water so that it completely covers the clay, provide the opportunity to cure for several hours. This time is necessary for moisture to accumulate, and then the solid lumps should be stirred with a wooden spoon. The composition of the resulting mass is homogeneous, the presence of lumps is excluded.

Types of healing clay

There are a sufficient number of varieties of this natural component. The most useful and healing is blue, but it's a separate conversation about it, it requires special attention, so more on that below. In the meantime, let's briefly dwell on the other types.

White - in its composition has a "powerful" antioxidant, we are talking about zinc. Found very widespread use for rejuvenating facial masks. However, on this, her positive traits are not limited, since it is highly effective for hair loss, mastopathy, rheumatism.

Radium contained in its composition, and in its pure form, provides the body with a powerful "radioactive weapon" to fight any viruses and microbes. In other words, blue clay is a highly effective tool for killing harmful microorganisms.

Outdoor use of blue clay

The main form for external use can be considered gadgets, which are extremely effective in a wide variety of ailments. It can be used for acute, chronic diseases, burns, ulcers. It must be remembered that ulcerative healing will occur gradually, not immediately, since the clay takes a certain amount of time to fully “absorb” toxins and harmful substances. Let's take a closer look at the lotion preparation procedure.

The problem area, before applying the lotion, must be treated with a damp cloth. In case of ulcers, treat with fresh, warm water. At the end of the above-mentioned procedures, a piece of woolen cloth should be spread out on a hard surface.

Next, using a wooden spatula, spread the prepared mass, several centimeters thick. The consistency of the clay must be such that it cannot flow. If the skin of the problem area contains hair, then it is recommended to cover it with a wide napkin. Then apply the prepared lotion, while monitoring the density of the overlay.

To exclude displacement, they are fastened with a bandage, and on top they are tied with cloth, preferably woolen. One more important point- do not tighten the bandage tightly, in order to avoid disruption of the blood circulation process. The desired time for finding the lotion on the sore area is at least two hours. The feeling of warmth, dryness of the lotion are clear indicators that signal an urgent replacement of the lotion.

If the purpose of the lotion is to draw out toxins, then the holding time is an hour and a half. On the contrary, when the task is to generally strengthen the strength of the patient, then the duration of the lotion is three hours, and the consistency of the clay is average.

When finished, gently rinse the affected area with warm water, remove the remnants with a cotton swab.

Reuse is discouraged. The fabric covering the diseased area should be thoroughly washed and dried. Throughout the day, it is necessary to carry out 3-4 such lotions. In parallel with this, consume 2 tsp of clay every hour water.

Prepare it as follows. Boiled water, well filtered (200 ml) is combined with 1 tsp of powdered blue clay. After that, leave the glass under the influence of the sun in the fresh air for several hours.

The number of such procedures, their duration is a purely individual indicator that depends on the initial state of the patient.

The chest, abdomen are parts of the body, on which lotions are applied an hour and a half after eating, and in other places arbitrarily. Simultaneous setting of several lotions is permissible, and in different places.

Clay, especially blue clay, is a good "tool" for eliminating many types of headaches, eye, ear, and nervous system disorders.

  • When you see that the patient's body is severely weakened, he is overcome by chills, then it is necessary to rewarm with heating pads.
  • In elderly people, patients with anemia, due to insufficient amount of natural heat, frequent colds, it is possible to replace the lotions with baths.
  • Hot clay loses its useful qualities. It should be used only cold, without preheating, since it is applied to the inflamed area.
  • Do not stir with a metal spoon.

Hand-held ones are extremely effective when the limbs are immersed for half an hour in a bowl filled with earthen solution, I note very liquid. It will not be superfluous to hold such a solution for some time before using it in the sun.

Internal use of clay

Only clean clay is needed, completely cleaned of foreign impurities and inclusions. It would be more optimal to use a single, single piece.

Features of the use and preparation of clay

Clay procedures are carried out in various ways. It can be:

  • applications;
  • wraps;
  • water procedures;
  • compresses;
  • powder for oral administration;
  • internal use solutions.

So that the medicinal composition prepared for such procedures has on the body maximum benefit, you need to have an understanding of the preparation of clay before you start using it. The main rule is confidence in the ecological purity of the natural composition.


It is better for clay therapy to give preference to pharmaceutical products, where they are thoroughly checked for the presence of impurities and appropriate processing. But if there is access to a clay source, the following nuances should be taken into account:

  • clay rock should be collected only in areas remote from industrial places;
  • sedimentary rocks are suitable for treatment only if there are natural reservoirs near their occurrence;
  • O good quality clay can be judged only when it is located in an open area, well lit by the sun;
  • near the deposit, and even more so in the clay itself, the presence of sand and other foreign inclusions - black soil, crushed stone, etc., is unacceptable.

Since clay therapy is not limited to purely local application, but is widely used as remedy, which will be used internally, the observance of the above points is extremely important.

In addition to environmental importance, the peculiarity of working with finished raw materials is also of certain importance. The correct approach is also needed here:

  • a piece of clay before preparing the desired form of the drug must first be crushed to a finely dispersed state;
  • after receiving a powdery composition from clay, it will need to be well sifted through a regular sieve;
  • it is necessary to crush the clay lump only in dry form, and it is forbidden to use iron objects (basin, hammer, etc.) for this purpose, since the interaction of metal devices with the chemical composition of the rock will reduce the effect of active components;
  • the best container and device for kneading clay are ceramic or wooden products;
  • mixing clay in liquid must also be done in a non-metallic container using a wooden or ceramic spatula;
  • storage of dry raw materials is also very important: it must be located outdoors and in a place protected from rain and moisture, for example, under a canopy; crockery for saving clay, ideally, should be made of wood, for example, it can be a box;
  • in the cold period, before starting to knead the healing mass, it is extremely important to first hold the clay well for some time in a warm room;
  • in a solution of various consistencies, the main components of which are clay and water, at the time of application to problem areas, the presence of lumps is not acceptable - the mixture should be well grinded to a homogeneous mass.

Internal intake of clay

A unique technique used in clay therapy using clay powder or oral solution has a healing effect: it collects all toxic substances inside the body and removes them naturally. It is recommended for various pathologies, in particular:

  • with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (diarrhea, poisoning, stomach ulcer, etc.);
  • in violation of the liver (jaundice, cholecystitis, cirrhosis);
  • with stone formation in the kidneys and ureter, as well as cystitis;
  • with high cholesterol and the presence of atherosclerosis;
  • with asthma and infections in the lungs (tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc.);
  • with anemia, blood toxicosis, metabolic disorders, low immunity.


It is important to take great responsibility in the choice of clay. It must comply with all quality standards of the Ministry of Health, that is, undergo a special test for material composition and environmental performance. Therefore, for the purpose of internal treatment with clay, it is necessary to purchase it only in the pharmacy network.

Further, no less important point is the preparation of raw materials before use. The clay should be finely ground in a porcelain mortar or in a wooden bowl with a non-metallic pestle to a powdery state. After crushing, the powder must be passed through a kitchen sieve.

A therapeutic agent (suspension) is being prepared according to the principle of mixing two ingredients - clay and cool water. Instead of water, you can use a herbal decoction, for example, from mint. So, you will need to pour the crushed clay mixture in the amount of 3 full dessert spoons into a glass container with a volume of 0.5 liters (jar, bottle). Fill it with clean water, preferably from a spring source, or with mint infusion. Seal the container and shake the contents well.

This amount of medication is designed for 1 day. The frequency of use is up to 4 times a day and only a few minutes before meals. It is very important not to start abruptly treatment with a remedy that is unusual for the body. It is necessary to correctly increase a single dose: on the first day - in the morning, half a hundred-gram stack is enough for 1 reception, repeat the use before dinner. If the body has tolerated the medicinal drink well, the next day we increase the dosage - 100 grams three times a day. Further - 0.5 liters, evenly distributed over 4 servings.

Clay can also be used undiluted. It can be either powder or a lump of clay. Both forms are washed down with a liquid - water or herbal tea with honey. The dosage is selected on an individual basis, based on the body's tolerance to clay and human sensations. Anyway, daily rate should not exceed more than 70 grams per day.

The duration of one cycle of clay therapy by internal use is 21 days. After the allotted time, you should completely limit the intake for 1.5 weeks. After a ten-day interval, you can resume drinking clay again. So, depending on the severity of the disease, internal use can last from 3 weeks to several months.

Important findings on clay

Especially severe forms diseases, for example, inflammatory pathologies of the lungs, bronchi, as well as with bronchial asthma, renal failure and expressed problems on the part of the cardiovascular system, clay therapy should be carried out with extreme caution and only with the approval of a similar technique by the attending physician.

Since the biochemical composition of clay includes a variety of natural compounds of mineral salts and elements, the occurrence of an allergic reaction is not excluded. Therefore, in case of any unpleasant sensations, it is necessary to completely stop using the medicinal breed in order to improve its health.

It is undesirable to combine clay treatment with traditional medicine, since the main point of the technique - to absorb and remove poisons and toxins - will simply be lost. After all, pharmacy medicines in this case will constantly replenish the body with more and more chemicals that pollute the lymph and blood.
