The dry powder Calcium Bentonite Clay application is the most basic. Simply apply dry powder by hand in the amount indicated by the treatment modality. Dry powder clay is excellent for open, bleeding wounds and oozing rashes. Packing a wound with the dry powder will help stop the bleeding and keep it from becoming infected. It is also beneficial for treating gums, tooth problems and for brushing teeth.

TEETH AND GUMS

The first line of action involves brushing the teeth daily with Calcium Bentonite Clay. Use clay powder. The clay is absorbent, and it helps harden the enamel while it aids in gum tissue repair. Furthermore, if used regularly, it helps to prevent gum recession.
At bedtime pack your gums with clay powder. Do this by loading the toothbrush handle or a popsicle stick with powdered clay and gently depositing it between the teeth and gums.
Your saliva will stick the clay to your teeth and gums. Leave overnight. As a preventative measure, swish liquid clay in your mouth 2 times a day. These actions will pull out bacteria lodged in your gums and tighten the gum pockets to your teeth.
Drink 2 ounces of liquid clay twice daily, away from oral medications as needed.

It is not understood what gives most people three good bowel movements a day while others get constipated and some even have diarrhea. If constipation occurs, you need to keep drinking the clay and take whatever you use to keep your janitorial services working until the colon is cleaned out. Taking over-the-counter magnesium tablets of 250 mg is a gentle solution. For diarrhea you may need to bulk up with fiber or psyllium husk. After being on the psyllium for a week, take a good probiotic to rebuild the gut flora.

Check with your pharmacist to determine whether clay will interfere with any medications. Ask your pharmacist how long it takes for the body to absorb the medication. Then allow that time to pass between taking your medication and the clay.
