Salt, clay and other Earth minerals are naturally consumed by
humans and animals. They are essential for a healthy and
productive life. Food and drinks contain all kinds of minerals.
We enjoy organic produce such as fruits and vegetables, usually
without even thinking about the minerals contained therein.
As a rule of thumb, a diverse diet provides all the
nutrients we need. Balanced, supplemented
intake of clay minerals will further benefit our health and enhance our well-being.

Animals often obtain essential nutrients at so-called mineral
licks. And humans? Well, they have plenty of choices these days
to supplement their food with essential trace minerals according
to individual preferences and needs. Bare minerals can enrich
meals naturally. Clay minerals such as bentonite and
montmorillonite are used as
such additives. Furthermore, clay can replace chemically
synthesized fertilizer and pesticides: applied to the soil in your
garden clay can nurture herbs and tress that
will nurture you.

Clay is also an excellent material for treating stomach ailments and
detoxifying the body. Clay minerals have various external uses
as well. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, you surely appreciate
the relief from itching bug bites after treating the affected
skin area with moist clay.

The favored clays for diet and health applications are smectite
clays. Smectites are unique in their capability of
extracting—at fast rates—large amounts of
many toxic compounds from the body. For detoxing and internal
cleansing, Calcium Bentonite Clay is the clay of choice. Detailed
information on healing clays, bentonite in particular, is available
in a variety of resources. Selected links to such resources are presented in
the following.
