Other health benefits of clay: 

Clay has been used for thousands of years to treat injuries, soothe pains, heal wounds, strengthen the body’s defences, disinfect, cleanse and beautify.  
 
Clays can work wonders to stimulate, reinvigorate and rejuvenate cells and tissues, making them an ideal ingredient for skin care and natural beauty products. 
 
Clay absorbs undesirable particles, like germs, bacteria and gas; immobilises impurities or toxic substances in the body and eliminates them; and acts as a powerful antiseptic and disinfecting agent. 
 
Clay can also destroy pathogenic germs effectively and efficiently, without endangering tissues. 

Purifying clay mask recipe: 

1 tablespoon green clay 
aloe juice, water or oil 
2 drops chamomile or helichrysum essential oil 
 
In a small bowl, use a fork to combine the clay with enough aloe juice/water to form a smooth paste. 
 
Using your fingers, spread the paste on to your face and neck and allow to nearly dry (you want it to still remain moist). Rinse off.
