Description
Latin Name: Montmorillonite
Origin Country: Greece
Bentonite clay, intended for internal and external use, is derived from volcanic ash dehydration. It contains over 70 trace elements and the largest quantities worldwide come from the USA.
It is a natural clay with a fine, soft texture. It forms a paste when mixed with water. Some people use this paste for medical or cosmetic benefits.
– Bentonite clay is used externally like all clays to absorb toxins, impurities and heavy metals from the skin. It has the characteristic that when it comes into contact with water, it creates an electric charge that “attracts and retains” the toxins and absorbs them like a sponge.
– Bentonite clay can be used for medical or cosmetic benefits, such as treating rashes and acne or as a hair mask. As mentioned, this clay helps to remove toxins from your pores, allows skin to heal and reduces inflammation. Also, it helps in the lightening of acne marks on the face, to get rid of scar tissues and stretch marks easily and effectively.
– It contains natural minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, Silica, Sodium, Copper, Iron, and Potassium that help replenish vitamin and mineral levels and alkalise the body.
– It can help relieve digestive problems such as constipation, diarrhea, and nausea. Bentonite can help remove toxins from the body.
