I recently gave Jessica a bath in bentonite clay because this clay was used to help me in my fertility prep for the scars on my feet, forehead, and belly from surgical removal of my gallbladder. These scars can cause interference fields in the body and prevent proper nutrition to get everywhere it needs to go creating deficiencies.
Jessica’s new doctor who is helping us figure out her gut and immune issues recommend a detox bath with herbs which we used till we ran out and then I remembered what I used in pregnancy prep. It’s a product from Premier Research Lab called Medi-Body Pack which is made of calcium bentonite clay. This particular product has other green ingredients like alfalfa, kelp, and Irish moss which makes it smell like a swamp in the bath tub.
I have no way to prove this is working one way or another right now but I put it on Jessica’s belly to hopefully pull out toxins from her digestive tract. That’s not really actually how it works on the skin to my knowledge but could do that internally according to the way Dr. Axe describes it below.
Bentonite clay is formed from the ash of volcanos. Bentonite clay has been used to support normal digestion, bacterial balance, the immune system, the liver, the body’s detox ability and more. https://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/6-health-benefits-bentonite-clay/
When bentonite clay is mixed with water it acts like a sponge because it has a strong negative charge and attracts positively charged toxins pulling them through the body. Bentonite clay releases minerals into the body, including calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and potassium. Article from Natural Detoxifiers – charcoal and clay
Bentonite clay also benefits the body because it has the ability to produce a charge that is electrical in nature when it comes in contact with liquid – similar to earthing. When the clay touches any kind of fluid normally water it take on a different charge and is thought to bind to any present toxins within the fluid. https://draxe.com/10-bentonite-clay-benefits-uses/
