Green Healing Clay of the Desert
Bentonite, Illite, and Montmorillonite: Pelotherapy and Natural Medicine

Featured: Did You Know...?

We are what we eat? Take a look at a recent post at our forum on food and water ozonation: Ozonating Beef, chicken, and fish. For reasons including food and water contamination ( antibiotics, chemicals, pesticides, petroleum-based byproducts ), body detoxification programs are only going to become more critical to good health in the future.

New! Consider signing up for Eytons' Earth's Riches of IS Newsletter. Eytons' Earth specializes in researching green healing clay for use in Pelotherapy, hydrotherapy, natural medicine and healing applications. Healing clays have traditionally been used for internal detoxification ( digestive system and liver ), trauma injuries, skin conditions, organ and elimination system stimulation, and localized immune system stimulation and support. Our website details how to use healing clay, as well as documents a wealth of information on a wide variety of highly specialized topics. Green clays such as Illite, Bentonite and Montmorillonite have been used by mankind as a part of natural medicine for tens of thousands of years. Today, the art of healing with the earth is formally known as Pelotherapy, and healing clays are used around the world in hydrotherapy, balneology, natural medicine and alternative medicine. Natural healing clay: Bentonite: Green healing clay ( smectite ) with a high PH level. Quality of therapeutic clays vary according to the deposit, and mineral content is quite varied between different sources. Different forms of bentonite may have different properties, such as sodium bentonite, calcium bentonite, and magnesium bentonite. Clays with more than 2% sodium content, even when high in other minerals, usually utilize the sodium as the dominant anion, and thus respond like a sodium bentonite.   Bentonite Hills in Capitol Reef National Park Photo used with Permission, copyright Q.-T. Luong Bentonite Hills - Capitol Reef National Park Photo used with Permission, copyright Q.-T. Luong   Montmorillonite: French green healing clay ( also a smectite ) closely related to bentonite. Illite: Non-swelling green healing clay ( mica ) known to have potent healing properties. Utilizing the curative power of the Earth in practices such as Pelotherapy should, we believe, truly be considered a lifestyle modification; it should be adopted as an integral part of healthy living. There is no substitute for the benefits that quality healing clays can provide both in and on the body. We cordially invite you to view what we have discovered over the last eleven years of research.

"What is the evolutionary significance of plant toxins and animal anti-toxin behaviour? From a plant's evolutionary perspective, a seed should be high in nutrients to support germination and seedling growth; the ripe fruit around the seed should also be nutrient-rich and attractive to animals, encouraging them to pluck and eat the fruit and disperse the seed. On the other hand, the seed itself should be repulsive to animal consumers, inducing them to regurgitate or defaecate it, and the unripe fruit should be repulsive, lest animals harvest it before the seed is viable. From an animal's evolutionary perspective, an ability to defeat the plant's toxin defences would enable it to obtain the nutrients in the seed as well as those in the ripe fruit, and to outcompete other animal consumers by harvesting the fruit while it is unripe and still unpalatable to them. "Any textbook of animal biology describes the resulting evolutionary arms race, in which plants evolve increasingly potent toxins (such as strychnine and quinine), and animals evolve increasingly potent means of detoxification. While enzymatic detoxification has previously received the most attention, the work of Gilardi et al.10 and the wide distribution of geophagy among animal herbivores suggest an additional important means of detoxification by adsorption on ingested soil minerals." - Jared M. Diamond, Department of Physiology, University of California Medical School, Los Angeles Read more about indigenous habits and instinctual use of edible clay minerals in our bentonite articles section.
