I have an injured thumb, which is called trigger thumb. I have locking of the knuckle and pain at bottom of thumb where bone is..Had x-ray and do not want to have cortisone treatments .

What type of clay would I use for this? And how would I use it.

Thanks you.
I am new to this forum.

Greetings:

I have never used clay therapy for a trigger thumb. However, it certainly wouldn't hurt to use it.

One would make a clay paste/magma, and use a clay pack ( cover the entire thumb with clay about 1/2" thick ), and then wrap the thumb with a clean dressing prior to going to sleep.

Do this nightly for a week, and watch carefully for signs of improvement.

Above are some links to other clay sites, including some clay providers. The clay marketed by Natures Body Beautiful is a good external clay; so are Terramin and Pascalite. Sometimes one clay doesn't work as well for an individual as another.

Kind Regards,
