Detox Clay Powder, 16 oz

Oh, I have an idea! I am going to take 4-5 tablespoons of Pure Clay and make a smooth but not too thick paste - enough for light layer to spread over as much skin surface as I can reach. The next part is the challenge, as I am not the type to run around the house naked. I suppose I will have to confine myself to the bathroom, but that's okay because I can rearrange my medicine chest items, clean out a few other bathroom drawers, do the toilet and sink, fold some laundry, pour the bath. Before I know it, 15 or 20 minutes will have passed and I will then sink into a nice warm tub and luxuriate as the clay dissolves into the water. I'm dreaming of this now, as I write. Can you tell how much I love this stuff? As the name implies, it's Pure Clay. I don't see how it can get better than this. The clay is extremely finely ground making for a very dense 1 lb. tub, which will last a long time. Mixing less than a tsp. of it is plenty for a nice facial mask. Nothing but 100% pure calcium bentonite clay - no contaminants, no preservatives, nothing else, so it's good enough to ingest. Which brings me to another favorite thing about Pure Clay. You can drink it to rebalance your stomach pH. Go ahead and google the alkalizing properties of bentonite clay. This isn't new information, and I continue to believe it's something which the pharmaceutical companies would rather we didn't know about. If you rebalance the pH of your stomach, you will likely eliminate the need for things like antacids. I don't know how many people with acid stomach problems I've told this to and they give me that blank, whatever-are-you-talking-about stare. I know first hand that the need to balance one's gut is the answer to a plethora of sicknesses - such as the evil h.pylori bacteria. So now Pure Clay is at the top of my list of everyday essentials - both topical and internal and I have most definitely already noticed a huge difference in my gastric health. Huge! I'm equally hopeful about the possible benefits which its calcium may provide for my bone-on-bone knees, but it might take a few months longer to know those effects, so I will have to weigh in on that later. I could go on, I really could, but I have laundry to fold and a bath to take.

Wow! I love this stuff. I am "new" to Bentonite, but, lucky enough that it captured my interest. I did much research on the benefits of Bentonite clay and am using it for internal purposes. I mix it as instructed and take one serving (along with some whole Psyllium husks) in the morning and one serving when I get home from work. It has me regular in one weeks time and I no longer get bloated after eating. Also, the gurgling within my digestive tract (which I have learned to "live with" over the years) has subsided significantly and, although I haven't lost any weight yet, I feel "lighter". I am really enjoying this product and may use it for other purposes in the future, but right now, I will continue to use it for internal detox only. I am very glad that I got this product!!! Update: 2016/05/30 - And the benefits just continue to amaze. Adding the use of Pure Clay to my health regimen has cleared up my night-blindness. For (at least) the last 10 years, I have been "a danger to myself and others" when I've had to drive at night. I didn't recognize this when it was first happening to me, but, it took its hold and had altered my life dramatically. I used to be able to leave my house at 10:00pm and drive through the night when going to visit family that lived far away. Then, without warning, this was a thing of the past. I didn't understand how or why; and I don't / didn't think I was old enough or had put enough wear and tear on my eyes that this should have been the case. In trying to retake control of my health, this was a recent addition to the dietary changes and supplement additions I started at the beginning of this year. When I started taking the Bentonite, my night blindness significantly improved after about two or three weeks. I didn't, however, know that this was responsible for that. I have been using a shotgun approach towards improving my health and have been taking almost 20 supplements, daily. I stopped taking the Bentonite (and also stopped taking Psyllium) and my night-blindness returned. Added these two things (mixed together with MCT oil) back into my daily regimen and "blammo"!!! I can drive at night once again. As I am now quite convinced that it was this (as opposed to any of the other stuff I am taking) that improved my vision, I "WON'T" make the mistake of not taking them again. This whole thing was unexpected and was never a goal. It is just a wonderful ancillary benefit that has provided even more of an impact than the reason I started using the Bentonite in the first place!!! If you have night-blindness and you strongly don't think this should be the case, you should consider trying this stuff. It is working wonders for me!!!

I have purchased other clay masks in the past and they were gloopy and hard to mix, Pure Clay was not like that at all! I really felt clean afterwards too! Don't hesitate to give it a try! I'm excited to see how consistent use will help heal my skin!

Ok

Clay has been used for a very long time for a lot of ailments. While clay is a really safe way to deal with some health issues (such as diarrhea), it is really important to buy clay source from non-polluted locations. While I found several other brands that were much cheaper, once I did some research, I realized that they were either not labeled "food grade", came from a variety of places around the world (so there was no way to know what it was contaminated with, or came from places in the U.S. that were geographically close to areas used for nuclear testing. Since clay binds easily with radioactive materials, heavy metals, and even bacteria (hence it's ability to help the body flush out pathogens in the gut resulting from food poisoning), it is imperative that you know both where your clay comes from and that it's been tested for impurities. The reason I decided to try this white clay was that I noticed that one of the medications my gastroenterologist gave me for diarrhea attacks contained saccharomyces boulardii and white clay. The purpose of the clay is to absorb irritating chemicals or pathogens (in case there are any) and to absorb water, therefore making the stools more solid. Since I am prone to spontaneous diarrhea attacks as a part of my IBS-D, I had come to rely on that medication quite a bit. It was very effective, but then the company changed the formulation to include ingredients I couldn't ingest, in addition to some nasty artificial sweeteners. I decided to try this clay as a substitute, and it works like a charm! Luckily, I now get attacks very rarely, but when I do need it, I'm glad to say that this clay works. A little bit of clay (I use about a teaspoon) dissolved with a very small amount of water is effective at making liquid stool solid again. I am careful to use a plastic spoon to stir the clay in the water, because I read that the clay should avoid contact with metal. I'm not sure if that includes stainless steel, but I prefer not to take chances. My wife has also been using it to make a facial mask and it works great for that too. Her skin is really smooth and velvety afterwards, so double thumb up! Some people seem to use this as a daily "tonic". If you are noticing health benefits from doing so, then more power to you. However, I wouldn't advise this, because when you take something like clay or activated charcoal, they bind to both bad things and good things, which means that you may very well end up with nutritional deficiencies over time. Also, both good and bad bacteria can be eliminated, so over time you may actually decimate the good bacteria in your gut which makes room for pathogenic yeasts and bacteria to increase. I see this product as a "once in a while, as needed" thing, rather than an "every day" supplement. Update: Since my IBS-D has been in remission lately, I've not been using this clay in recent months. However, just recently, my mother was visiting and got a D attack (she has severe IBS-D). Her usual strategy is to stop eating for the rest of the day, but since I had this clay on hand in the back of my cupboard, I gave her a spoonful mixed with water and her attack stopped immediately - she was fine for the rest of the trip. This stuff works better than over the counter anti-diarrheals, and without any of the questionable "other" ingredients. Even though I no longer need to use this daily, I'm really glad to have it on hand for emergencies like that one. If you found this review helpful, please consider letting me know below.

I have been using, Tierra Buena, calcium bentonite now for 7 days...that's right, only 7 days. And I have a nearly flat stomach. That's going from miserable bloating, for decades, to a nearly flat stomach. I actually can fit in my pants without them being uncomfortably tight and I have noticed my back and joints have stopped aching constantly. I cannot believe that I have finally found only one product that has helped me so much! If you have problems with constant bloating, diarrhea, sour stomach, (basically, ibs symptoms) this should be your go to. I have had severe problems with ibs-d my entire life. I have switched jobs over and over, then went to college and finished so I could work in an environment conducive to helping me mitigate my symptoms. I.e., sitting more and being able to use the restroom immediately when needed, ect. It's been a long long debilitating journey. In January, of this year, I was given the opportunity to work from home, which is really where I started the arduous process of once and for all trying to fix my ibs-d. I have had so many diet changes over the years, I knew another change in diet wasn't going to be enough (And I am fastidious when it comes to follow through). I had to find the magic bullet, if it existed...and I believe this is it. I know I sound like an infomercial but I'm very sincere when I write, this stuff really works. Yes it's dirt 😂...but it's magic dirt! I will be taking calcium bentonite for the rest of my life, if these are the results I can expect. Tierra Buena is the first calcium bentonite I have tried. I did what I always do when buying anything. I went on Amazon and read nearly every review, for several different products, "not calcium bentonite". One of the reviews I read was about calcium bentonite and how it was a must have, for internal use, when mitigating the symptoms of ibs. So I found the calcium bentonite with the highest reviews (on Amazon) that was graded for internal use...and that was Tierra Buena. After reading all the reviews, I went to their website for further review and based on the aggregate information, I, hesitantly, decided to try Tierra Buena. I am an ambivalent skeptic when it comes to most product claims; because I have wanted products to work and they have let me down. I promise that this clay works wonders. At least it did for me! And the clacium bentonite, from Tierra Buena, is a great product; it has hardly any flavor, goes down smooth and actually has a hint of sweetness after the mixture has been in the refrigerator blooming for a few days. I mixed per the directions, take 3-4 tablespoons per day, first thing in the morning, and I'm AMAZED at the difference it's made. I look forward to years of being able to praise Tierra Buena..."I never thought I would aver that about any product." But this product has "literally" changed my life in only 7 days. I sincerely hope it has a life long effect similar to the affect it's had on me in 7 short days. I also want to point out that Tammy, from Tierra Buena, sent me a stock/standard follow up email making sure everything was satisfactory, with my order, and the quality was as expected. I have a lot of respect for companies that have good/great customer service etiquette. I can comfortably attest that the quality is very high and my satisfaction is also very high. Everyone should feel confident when ordering, from Tierra Buena, knowing their order will be on time and of the highest quality.

Not for sensitive people. Don't use on hair unless you want to loose a lot trying to undo a knotted feel or having dirt stuck. Took a few times of shampooing to remove a little tried. It gave a burning feel 4-5 mins of trying as a light face mask but skin felt nice after washing. I'll likely update as it's tried out more.

The product work well in the application I used it in.

great product

Very satisfied with this product, very good quality, helped a lot while going my detox

I just go mine. Let it over the night in the fridge as it says in the instructions and obviously the clay separates from the water, layed on the bottom of the glass but I don't know what to drink the water or the clay which is in the bottom. Do I mix the consistency and drink 1 spoon as first? Who tried it for internal detox write a comment here please.

It's only been 4 days so it's hard to say at this point if it is actually detoxing my body. What I can say is it isn't a horrible drink, it does mix well and there is pretty much no clay residue left in the glass. I have a mason jar of the mix in the fridge and drink 2 tbsp of the mix blended with 8 ounces of water once per day, first thing in the morning. I drink it cold, no idea what it would be like warm. I do plan to use the clay as a cleanings mask at some point. There is a lot of clay in the jar so value for $$ is definitely there. I don't think I would try a less expensive brand since I am consuming this clay.
