Clay is one of the most ancient raw materials that man has ever used. Egyptians, Greeks and Romans understood the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of clay.
The ancients used clay to cure trauma, a dislocation, or in order to help broken limbs calcify more quickly. During the IV and V century B.C. Hippocrates cured many different sorts of ailments with clay. In 1920, the famous abbot Kneipp proposed clay as a great and powerful natural medicine. He said: “Clay recovers the inflammations, it attracts to itself the sick and ill subject”.
It will also change into the minerals and nutrition your body needs according to the need even if when tested, the clay is not high in the minerals it changed into! This is attested by a tribe of Indians who live along the Orinoco River in South America and subsist ENTIRELY on baked balls of clay for 2 months when fishing is impossible due to high waters EVERY YEAR!
