Bentonite: An Old Yet New Clay for Modern Detoxification

Bentonite clay, also known as Montmorillonite clay, is a potent medicinal clay made from volcanic ash. It has the special quality that, when hydrated, it has an electrical charge, so Bentonite works as an attraction-or-moving type enzyme for all heavy metals and other fluid-poisons in the body. Whether one intends to use it on the skin for beauty and healing or internally for digestive detoxification, bentonite remains an extremely versatile practitioner of natural therapies.
