The Healing Benefits of Clay – Part 1

Clay contains almost all microelements of which the human body consists. Its electrolyte composition makes it a good conductor of energy; therefore, with its help the body can cleanse of all filth and bacteria and receive a number of useful microelements.  Benefits of Clay

Clay is a perfect free cure which can be used for different purposes. According to the Bulgarian healer Ivan Yotov, clay is a gift of God. The healer can cure any disease with it with the exception of cancer of the fourth degree when the cell membrane is destroyed and the clay cannot cleanse the cell from the filth. From ancient times clay has been used as a cure, mostly for external use, though the skin. You have seen pigs roll in the mud and then they remove the dry mud by rubbing themselves on the trees. A lot of vets use clay for medicinal purposes. For example, John W. Armstrong in his book The Water of Life described how he cured the broken leg of a pedigree stallion with clay and urine. The leg not only healed successfully but its hair was recovered and no traces remained after the trauma.

 A woman broke her leg and her husband applied clay compresses which he moistened with urine. After the accident the woman lived for twenty more years and never complained of any pain in her leg.

Many healers claim that clay loses its medicinal effect if it is kept in a bucket or a saucepan.

In colour clay can be red, yellow, blue or white. The colour depends on the sedimentary rocks. Its composition is also different in different localities. Doctors recommend white clay, known as kaolin, to be taken internally for gastrointestinal diseases. White clay is also used to heal sore places, burns and wounds.  Avicenna healed chronic diarrhoea and pains in the bladder with clay because it dries and does not burn the tender spot. Kaolin is also used in some preparations for eyes

If you have health problems, you should use clay from your locality. Experts claim that the best clay is the one which precipitates slowly when you dilute it with water.

Clay is known for its adsorbing properties. The water, in which clay precipitates, is very clean. You can bathe scrofulous children in it (scrofulous:  relating to scrofula (tuberculosis (or TB like bacteria) of the lymph nodes, particularly of the neck).

Clay water is drinking water; it is good for cooking as well. It improves the function of the liver, the stomach, and the gastrointestinal tract; it is suitable for healing colitis, haemorrhoids, and constipation. If you warm it, you can use it for enemas, too. The preparation is very simple: before you go to bed, put one tea spoonful of clay in a glass of water. In the morning the water is ready for you to drink.

In order to cleanse your body of heavy metals, harmful admixtures and even radiation, it is enough to put a handful of clay in a three-litre bottle and drink from the water.

Water and clay

Water contains a huge quantity of microelements: lead, chromium, cadmium, barium, selenium, manganese, copper, zinc, magnesium, iodine, bromine, nickel, and lithium. Special laboratories are in charge of the established standards of water so that the quantity of microelements in it meets the requirements of the standards.

If there is no lithium in the water, for example, people would feel depressed. You can receive lithium at home. Put a lump of sugar in a spoon, melt it over the fire, shake a burning cigarette over the sugar so that some ashes fall down and dip the spoon in a jar with 500 ml of water. On the next day the lithium water is ready. Drink it and you will have no more depression. You can use the water for compresses, too.

Sea water is not for drinking but it is very good for clay compresses as it contains over seventy different micro elements.

You can define what microelements you lack by analysing your hairs: the concentration of microelements in hairs is ten times higher than in the blood serum. Schizophrenics, for example, usually have more lead and iron and less cadmium and manganese in their hair than healthy people. Zink deficiency shows lack of vitamins in the body, and that can lead to formation of adenomas, impotence, diabetes and poorer eyesight.

With water you receive microelements and you lose them when you sweat. If you put wild plums or celery in the water, you can quench your thirst very quickly and you will sweat less. In old times in the old casting workshops people put a handful of clay in the copper utensils for water.

Combination of clay with plants

Clay can be diluted not only in water but in urine, yoghurt, herb decoctions and herb infusions. From the mixture received you can prepare a semi-liquid or drier plaster and put in on the tender spot. You can add to clay fresh vegetable juices made from beetroot, cabbage, cucumbers, garlic, horseradish and dill and in this way you can fully use the medicinal properties of the vegetables. You can also add ground horse chestnuts. Before grinding them, leave them in water for twenty four or forty eight hours and then you can grind them easier.

Horse chestnuts are bitter in taste and are not good for eating but you can prepare a decoction of clay and the ground chestnuts, shells and leaves and use the decoction to treat varicose veins, female reproduction diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, radiculitis, aches in the joints, cervical osteochondrosis, and haemorrhoids. A plaster of that mixture is put on the forehead and the temples if you have low blood pressure and on the nape if your blood pressure is high. If you have migraine, put a compress on your crown. It is recommended to bandage the plaster with black cotton or linen cloth. If you have pains in the cardiac area, a nervous breakdown, connected with the vegetative-vascular activity, neurosis and stress, a compress put a little under your left armpit   will help you. A woman who was operated on for peritonitis used such compresses to heal the adhesions in the abdominal cavity.

Irritable and hot-tempered people can use that mixture, too. During the night put a plaster in the right hypochondrium. Then the gall will not stagnate and will not strain the liver.

If you have varicose vein capillaries of the rhino pharynx and you catch colds too often, you should put bandages on your forehead twice a day before lunch and supper; the mixture on the bandage is from clay, yoghurt, millet, rye bread and finely cut fresh cucumbers or pickles. During flu epidemics this bandage will help you a lot.

In order to remove clogging of deep veins you should rub a few drops of turpentine oil on the tender spot, then put over a clay plaster and finally bandage with a red woollen cloth impregnated with salty solution. The red wool helps and quickens the healing process.

If you make a compress, you should use special paper to cover it and not nylon bags.

Clay can be replaced with cottage cheese which can also take out all the filth through the skin; it is very well combined with different vegetable juices and plants.
