1. So what is Bentonite clay… like really?

Volcanic ash sediment is the source of Bentonite clay, which is also referred to as Montmorillonite clay (Gavlick, 2019). 

Bentonite clay is a traditional healing method with a rich history of shielding the body from disease. Wellness gurus rave over its’ gritty texture providing a sensation of rejuvenation. Researchers have reported that several traditional cultures living in regions of the Andes, Central Africa and Australia, have used volcanic clays for their healing properties.

This clay has been a popular choice for detoxifying the body for centuries because of its affordability, accessibility, and lack of modern processing.

Now we have our definition of this clay — let’s explore how it works and its benefits.

2. Stronger clearer skin

For starters, when applied to the skin, the mineral-rich Bentonite clay can help make skin look healthier and be more resilient. How? It insulates the surface of the skin, causing it to heat and expand. This eases the capillaries and encourages more efficient blood flow, enabling cells to heal and discharge toxins.

Animal studies have uncovered that this clay encourages the formation of collagen, a protein in skin that helps to stave off wrinkles. In combination with vitamin A as retinoid acid, researchers have observed this clay to cause a noticeable increase in collagen density in mice after 14 days.

That said, here are the other potential benefits of using this clay according to Dr.Axe.com.

• Balancing oil production/sebum levels
• Preventing acne blemishes
• Alleviating redness due to irritation/inflammation
• Fighting allergic reactions from irritating lotions or face washes
• Treating skin ulcers
• Helping sunscreens to work effectively
• Some studies have found it can even help treat poison ivy

3. How to use Bentonite Clay

To use externally, stir the clay with water until it becomes a thick, gooey mixture, and slather it over the desired area 2 to 3 times a week for half an hour. Handle Bentonite with care, as research has showed the clay may have a slight chance of being carcinogenic to lung tissue.

For internal use, dilute food-grade Bentonite clay at a 4-to-1 ratio of water to clay and take orally for effective removal of bacteria and their toxins from the digestive tract. Eating clay with a higher concentration or non-food grade clay could cause an intestinal blockage, which may need surgery to correct.
