Hi, in 1982 I was bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider. Dr.was baffled & not encouraging. Older local cattleman (In Cody, Wyoming) gave me bentonite clay. Said he used it on cattle. I know that’s what saved me. Doctor was beyond impressed. Blessings to you.
When the older generation dies off, this kind of information is gone! Thank Goodness he was there to help you. Did you take it internally or put it on topically? Or both?
@@pamelapiller3002 The infection was so intense that I would sleep a couple of hours, wake up to site pain and put hot (boiling water) hot compress on it. It would drain (beyond nasty) and then we would pack it with a paste of Bentonite . It came in an ointment form, but now I "stock" it in powder form. It mixes with water for external application. Additionally, you can dissolve some in water (at least for a couple of hours, and drink it. It is internally cleansing and I've heard can even combat E.coli. Brush your teeth with the powder for great cleansing and gum health!
Hey Just FYI in case anyone needs to know! .... I recently got covered in fire ants, calves and feet, working in the garden. The itch was so intense and I did not have time to go get my clay. I instantly thought well, beach sand pulls out jellyfish stings, and my elderly Uncle used to say "Rub some dirt on it" when we would get scratches and cuts and such. So I grabbed my sandy damp soil and started rubbing all over my legs and feet. We have a lot of sand! The exfoliation felt fabulous for the itch. I let it dry on there like you would clay mask. It instantly took out stings and the next day there was absolutely no sign of bites anywhere. So if you are in a situation somewhere, Rub some dirt on it!
We used bentonite clay mixed with myrrh, comfrey root, goldenseal, bayberry root and slippery elm (all powders) on a deep wound (from abscess surgery), and it worked great. Then we found organic papaya and mixed blended papaya (with a skin) with the same herbal powder mix, and that worked, we felt , even faster. Don't get scared when you see yellowish coloring dispersed in healing deep wounds as that is the new layers of skin building. Doctor said wound was healing beautifully.
I use it with activated charcoal and aloe Vera gel mixed into a paste for stings, spider bites and tick bites. My family will come to me immediately with a sting or bite and ask me to mix it up for them. Works almost immediately for the pain and left on for a little while, the whelp will go away.
As I watch - I am sitting with a clay pack on my arthritic knee (and it is working like a dream) .... knee kept locking and I could hardly walk. It is something that has been used for generations here in France.
I've used Stacy's tooth powder recipe and she said don't use metal and don't let it go down your drain. So, I'm glad you touched on the metal part. I got my tub of bc from Redmond. I only had ground Cloves instead of the EO. I do like the flavor and sensation the Cloves produce. But, I'm still trying to work out a recipe that will get my husband on board. That will probably mean using a Peppermint, Spearmint or Cinnamon EO. Once again, a great video full of good info!
I've used bentonite for different things and can definitely attest to it helping mysterious spider bites while gardening. Yes, definitely something to include in your first aide kit!!
Sitting here watching this with my sore swollen left knee, either bursitis or tendonitis, I had a brain wave with something you said, and searched for Bentonite Clay for the above ailments, it does reduced inflammation !! So now watching the rest of your amazing video with a knee covered in mud ! LOL... Thank you so much for the inspiration gorgeous Rain Country lady. PS I will give it 20 mins or so and let you know how the experiment goes. I am absolutely blown away. I left the B Clay and water paste on my knee for about 30 mins, As soon as I got up to walk to the bathroom, even just the initial standing up at first I noticed I did it normally, as opposed to the struggle it has been the past 3 days. I would say I have about 60 % more movement and range of motion now, it is a miracle !! I will do this again tomorrow. Thank you so much again Rain County for the inspiration.
@@RainCountryHomestead I am so glad you read my comment, seriously 2 hours later and the swelling is still going down, less pain and more movement, I walked down the stairs almost normal, an hour before your video it was one step at a time very carefully, honestly this is crazy good LOL. 💗🙏
You are sooo genuine! Thank you for being so informative and transparent about how you bring in money.. And the reason you do is to make more videos because you have PASSION for health. God bless.
Thank you for all of these tips. I use it in my toothpowder, but i am going to add it to my deodorant powder. Thanks for all your sharing! I also am referring to you on my channel for all the things i have learned from you! Especially your dehydrating tips. You are the reason i have really taken off and fallen in love with dehydrating! Keep Shining! GOD Bless!
I use it in my tooth powder and a face mask, but my main use is medicinal. It is a key ingredient in my spider bite treatment and shallow wound treatment.
Wow! I have a bunch of bentonite clay left over from when I made my foundry molding sand. I think I paid 13¢/lb at a local ceramics supply store. I never would've considered it as something that could be edible or have these kinds of uses. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! You've been so complete in explaining this!! I can't wait to try this for my IBS which I've had (diarrhea) for 10 yrs. I've tried everything for it since I'm a naturalist like you.
@@NamasteTexas I'll be honest here as I forgot to try it, I guess because so far nothing has worked, even going on carnivore lately. But I'm glad you reminded me to try it. I know it's full of minerals and draws out toxins. It's discouraging because I've done so much for my health including intermittent fasting and low carb.
In this video you mention how the clay helps your skin. IMO your skin is beautiful. I know this video is years old but even on your current videos you’re beautiful. What your doing is working.
Oh my gosh this stuff is so awesome! I bought some and have used it for my face. Also I seem to be allergic to mosquito bites. One little bite from those little buggers makes an insane itch for two three inches around the site. I have tried using alcohol. I have tried baby aspirin paste on it, just to name a few. Anyway I got mosquito bites on my thumb and the side of my index finger. Of course, per usual, the itching was insane. Before watching this video, I decided unknowingly, that my clay could also be great for 🐝 stings, mosquito bites etc. So why not. I made up some mud I plastered it all over my finger and my thumb and the area and I included my face. I should have taken a picture, anyway no worries I won't do that to you! I am now itch free! The cool thing about this video was that it made me realize that I can mix up some clay to have it ready and I can include it in my bug-out kit. Sorry for the pun but I couldn't help it. I use the clay from Redmond Salt
Oh goodness Heidi you make me so much smarter 😂. Love the video! I also put bentonite clay in some of my soaps and tooth powder but didn’t realize just how good it is for our health thank you so much for sharing😉. Love and blessings ❤️
Thank you Heidi for all the useful information. We moved and I haven’t been able to watch most of my favorite TH-camrs. So I am drinking my coffee and binge watching your videos. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos.
Rain Country, we are mostly settled. As you say in all of your videos “God is good, all the time”. Kevin is flourishing in his new job as the church’s senior pastor. We have an amazing church family and are really loving Wyoming it is so beautiful!
God Bless all of you for your advice. I started my clay today. I just drank my 8 ounces and I also used it on my hair and my face. I feel good about it. Thanks all
Just found your channel from a betonite clay search and it was VERY informative and compehensive- I so apprciate good info. I'm geting the clay using your links- thx again.
Keep some clay on hand to put on shingles sores. Relieves the pain and drys up the sores I also to it internally during the outbreak. Got over shingles in two weeks.
Lemon balm tincture cures them before they even pop out with one or two applications. I put one drop on a cotton swab and apply it at the first sign of an itch. It's the best thing I've ever used.
If you buy calamine lotion it's very watery and runny. I add bentonite to thicken it. This is wonderful for poison oak! It dries and pulls out the oils that can make it spread. After it dries, just flake it off! Healing time x3!
Fantastic information im so happy to find your channel ive been deliberating about taking Bentonite but now im definitely going to buy some..subd.T.Y.🖐
Hello, this is very interesting. How do you use it with a liquid? and since it is a nightly routine do you do it after dinner or right before you go to bed. I would love to have something help with acid reflux. Thank you.
Clay is an abrasive. Using it 3 days in a row removed too much skin. I can attest to its use on cuts scrapes etc. I am extremely accident prone. Occasionally I'll get on a project and look like I ran my hands through a meat grinder. Chisels, gringing wheels, sharpening knives , sheet metal. You name it iv cut myself on/with it. Also fairly infection prone. I found s few years ago applying blue or grey Clay to wounds, allowing it to dry, and gently washing it off really helped me to avoid infection. Never tried it internally yet i also use raw locally sourced clays (probably wouldn't suggest this) so I'm not about to put in it my mouth...intentionally. Clay is amazing especially blue clay If you can aquire it. Even a simple washing of your face makes you feel like a new person. Highly recommend.
For those of us who have dental fillings and root canals done. The things we can’t really remove ourselves and so they’re going to remain in our mouth for years, would bentonite clay used in a homemade toothpaste cause us any harm due to leaching of the filling or root canal metals or whatever else might be lying inside our teeth? This info is so important but I haven’t heard anyone talk about it clearly enough for people like me. Appreciate your reply, thank you in advance
I was wondering if anyone ever got an answer on the impact to dental metals. My husband and I each have a wire glued to the back of our teeth on the bottom row (permanent bottom retainer). I would love to know if this would be safe for us to use in tooth powder.
I just love you!!! Period!!! Your heart is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! Ok...the clay info is what I came for BUT I stayed for the YOU!! Hehe meh so what I’m partial! Still true! Love to you and Dad! ~The Kid
Thank you Lisa! By the way, that little fig is still growing like crazy now. I smile every time I see it. It is a reminder of both my mom AND our good friend who has been following us for over three years :D
Rain Country That makes me so happy!! I’m glad it’s bringing someone so dear a bit of joy. It’s a little hug from your mom and I whenever you smile. 🥰 And shoooot I’ll keep stalkin ya another blue moon too. You’re very dear friends and I’m blessed to say so. ❤️
I've used bed tonight. Clay with coconut oil and pepperminoil for my tooth powder. And I use it 3 times a week. Just because my gums are very sensitive. And I don't want to overscribe but it's very beneficial. I agree.. I've also used it in my homemade deodorants. Because baking soda makes me itch and gives me a rash. So bentonite clay, I also use for my masks as well as people. Give me those stupid gel masks with the tissue paper inside of it from the Dollar Tree store. Thinking they're good for my skin, and they are not. The bed tonight, clay is way better.. So a 100 %, whatever you're saying you're experienced. My experience as a raky practitioner and retired medical assistant who has exama this works for me.
Fun fact: food grade bentonite is found in incredible places. The most popular being soft-serve ice cream in most fast food locations, as well as many gravies i.e. KFC’s gravy. Unfortunately it’s substituting instead of supplementing in these situations.
Oh my face turns red to you but I’m pretty sure it’s just because how do you ride it gets and then if you move at all like if you smile it kind of pulls your skin and it’s like in the winter time when your face gets really dry I kind of like hurts if you leave it on too long and it dries too much but once I rinsed it With cool water and moisturized.... it disappears within 15/20 min maybe. I just wanted to let you know I’m pretty sure it’s just from the drying effect and pulling on your skin when you move or just from drying that is making your face red. It does shrink a lot and pulls on your skin but oh my God it is truly magical I just got it and I’ve had this pimple on my cheek for four years and I used it for three days and I think it came out I’m still watching it to see what happens and if it’s truly gone. Thank you for making this!!I wish I knew about this so much sooner geez!! Love this stuff
As with all such things, I do not take it all the time, I mix it up. Sometimes I will do a bit of turpentine with castor oil, sometimes it is diatomaceous earth. I mostly limit these to when I think I need them most. While I think the Bentonite clay can be take internally daily (unlike the other two I mentioned), I still think it is wise to mix things up now and then
Thank you for your interesting tips and recipees. I would like to give you a cheap and natural recipee for deodorant : 10 drops mms, 60ml water, 5 drops dmso. I use it already for months and it works great🙂
I buy fermented soy natto at the japanese grocery store and I take silica , I am a Vegan I look 25 years youger than people my age -------Silica is an important component of collagen and connective tissue.Silica is absorbed quickly and easily. Used commonly throughout Germany for maintenance of youthful, healthy skin, hair and nails. Silicea Gel can be used externally for wrinkles, acne and blemishes or internally helping to replenish collagen supply and encourage skin elasticity. An excellent choice for those who are concerned with brittle nails, thin hair and prematurely aging skin. Best silica come from Germany called " Hubner, Silicea Colloidal " is not cheap..but ista the best , no additives .
I heard that we shouldn’t allow bentonite to dry on the skin as it can damage it. If I use it on my face and allow it to completely dry my face burns and turns strawberry red. Don’t allow it to completely dry. Mixing with honey can help keep it moist. Just FYI. Thank you! 💜
Other than having issues when I use it too often in a row (skin turning red and feeling a bit sore) it has always worked good for me but the honey idea sounds great! I had considered coconut oil as well to keep it softer. :)
I've read that the pH of the clay by itself is very alkaline, too much for our skin. I have the Aztec clay, and the directions say to use ACV, which is obviously acidic. When you mix 1:1 clay (alkaline) to acv (acidic), the chemical reaction between the two makes the resulting mixture's pH to be a lot more skin friendly. Sometimes I put a bit of aloe vera gel in after they do their little chemical tango to make it a little more soothing. 😊
I have extremely dry skin and wondering how I could use it in my body to get rid of the dead skin. I have ichthyosis and my skin builds up dry skin cells faster than most, but does not exfoliate off like most people
That is possible due to the minerals in the clay. There are many minerals that are good at killing bacteria and viruses. So just like anything, one would want to use moderation
There’s an old woman Normandy on the Internet has little birds that she keeps. Gosh I wish I could remember the name of your channel because she is truly adorable. Well anyway, one of her little hands got attacked by something and its whole side was ripped off basically. She just packed it with the Bentonite clay. It took about 3 to 4weeks, but all of the skin grew back and push the clay out. There may have been a little bit more to it than that? I don’t think that she took it off and reapplied it at all.
I drink one tea spoon every other day for alternate months. I am an 'iron' magnet 🧲 and I ether have to have a philbotomy every 6 months or just do the clay, turmeric alternate-😊 It does bloat me up, though I use a water mix and an artist brush and paint up the face and neck, let it sit for 20+ minutes, and wash
i also sprinkle some in my bath water alone i switch it up my baths are medicinal and meditative castor oil or other oils and herbs herbs i place in reusable cotton tea bags or gauze or even the organza bags used for gifts
Hi Heidi! I love all your videos and I always learn something new! I just had a question about the Starwest Bentonite clay. It says on the front of the package that it contains an ingredient known to cause cancer and birth defects. 😬 Why would that be if it's safe to ingest?
@@RainCountryHomesteadHi Heidi! On Amazon, its on the front of the package . I probably wouldn't have noticed it myself except I read a review and it was mentioned. But it says something about a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer. I can just try and contact Starwest directly. I will definitely try the mask! Thanks so much!
Ok, I know what you are talking about and it has to do with Prop65 out of CA. It is a requirement because it contains silica. You will find that on all DE products, especially if they come from CA along with many other safe and healthy products. I think it is just a scare tactic myself
@@RainCountryHomestead gotcha. Yes, I'm gonna try it out anyway because I think the benefits outweigh any so-called potential risk. Thanks for clearing that up for me, Heidi!
Hello, Great information and I learn some things that I did not know about. I do have a question. Since the clay hardens when used as a clay mask, would it harden up when taken internally in a drink? I would really like to use it as a detox drink but nervous that it would harden somewhere in the digestive system. I am going to look at all the links right after this. Thank you for sharing, God bless, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
You can, that is one way, it can also be used to thicken various things to make more of a pudding, I have done this a few times. I has a very smooth consistency when mixed with liquids
Thanks what a beautiful personality, Long ago Blessed Herbs sold a formula with Bentonite clay which I used for 5 day without food for cleansing the intestine, would you have a similar formula? Again if you are single I would love to speak to you, I am an economist live in Canada and live in my private paradise in Costa Rica. I have seen hundreds of videos but I am totally impressed with your personality. Ciao,
I have been happily married for over 33 years. As for a cleaning formula, I do not follow anything specific. Sometimes I use beet juice with bentonite clay, sometimes with diatomaceous earth. Sometimes I use it with tea or other juices
I always take it before and after I have any kind of CAT scan or x-ray of any type to get rid of the radiation. And it's also good for remineralizing your teeth and needed nutrients for your hair growth
@@pamelapiller3002 I use approximately 1 ounce or so in a glass of water. And drink it down. It works best on an empty stomach rather than drinking after a meal. You'll start to notice a difference relatively quickly... I get the Liquid bentonite clay. I give it a good shake to make sure it's mixed well as it tends to settle somewhat
@@pamelapiller3002 I would say morning and evening before you go to bed or good times to take it...you just want to make sure its not after a meal. Also fnd its good for ecoli, and also radiation detox.
@@flamingpieherman9822 thank you, i have some ready for the morning, as i understand it must be in water for a while before you drink it. Doing everything i can to stay healthy!
Hey Rain. I would like to know about bentonite clay can we take it at any time of the day and mix it in a shake or does it have to be away from food and supplements? And why the most of product saying just to use external? Thanks from portugal!
It is possible it could pull the minerals of whatever you are consuming out and carry them out of the body so I suggest just mixing a small amount with water and taking on an empty stomach
It will interfere with the absorption of certain meds. To be on the safe side. Take 1st thing and wait a bit for it to pass through before you eat or take meds. Also drink a lot of water.
Has anyone actually drank it? Did u feel any different? I tried it on my hair and it was such a mess I wont do it again it was all tangled. I like it as a mask tho
Thanks Heidi! I have a bentonite kaolin mix marketed as a clay mask, is this safe to ingest? I looked it up and saw mixed opinions (of course). I love it as a mask and for external use but would love to make a tooth powder and to help with my gut health. Thank you for your time! Blessings! 🥰🤍
I have used kaolin clay as a toothpowder on its own and it works great, I like it better than bentonite because it does not absorb all the liquid like a sponge

Heidi, thank you for sharing your information that is so important! I appreciate you, you’re a blessing!
If you buy calamine lotion it's very watery and runny. I add bentonite to thicken it. This is wonderful for poison oak! It dries and pulls out the oils that can make it spread. After it dries, just flake it off! Healing time x3!
Fantastic information im so happy to find your channel ive been deliberating about taking Bentonite but now im definitely going to buy some..subd.T.Y.🖐
Thank you for sharing. I was recently thinking about bentonite clay. Very timely for me.
I had some of this at my house good information. Thank you
Very informative, concise.
Very good video. What a great Bible verses you mentioned at the end … God Bless you too.
Totally eliminated my acid reflux. My nightly routine includes teaspoon with some essential oils.
That is great to know! Thanks for sharing your testimony on that!
Hello, this is very interesting. How do you use it with a liquid? and since it is a nightly routine do you do it after dinner or right before you go to bed. I would love to have something help with acid reflux. Thank you.
Which essential oils? Glad it went away.
@@Bazza5000 fennel, peppermint, and tangerine
Wait, you mix it w essential oils and drink it?? Any water?? So confused
Clay is an abrasive. Using it 3 days in a row removed too much skin. I can attest to its use on cuts scrapes etc. I am extremely accident prone. Occasionally I'll get on a project and look like I ran my hands through a meat grinder. Chisels, gringing wheels, sharpening knives , sheet metal. You name it iv cut myself on/with it. Also fairly infection prone. I found s few years ago applying blue or grey Clay to wounds, allowing it to dry, and gently washing it off really helped me to avoid infection. Never tried it internally yet i also use raw locally sourced clays (probably wouldn't suggest this) so I'm not about to put in it my mouth...intentionally. Clay is amazing especially blue clay If you can aquire it. Even a simple washing of your face makes you feel like a new person. Highly recommend.
Where do you get blue clay?
Thanks again for an outstanding video!
Would bentonite clay be good to pack on your gum to draw out the infection?
Absolutely love your channel! ❤️
For those of us who have dental fillings and root canals done. The things we can’t really remove ourselves and so they’re going to remain in our mouth for years, would bentonite clay used in a homemade toothpaste cause us any harm due to leaching of the filling or root canal metals or whatever else might be lying inside our teeth? This info is so important but I haven’t heard anyone talk about it clearly enough for people like me. Appreciate your reply, thank you in advance
This is a great question.. .. did you ever find any further information?
I was wondering if anyone ever got an answer on the impact to dental metals. My husband and I each have a wire glued to the back of our teeth on the bottom row (permanent bottom retainer). I would love to know if this would be safe for us to use in tooth powder.
@@tammy1190 haven’t been able to follow this up in researching it. But neither have I received any reply here, as yet.
@@alishadeal7048 I’m guessing we would have to do our own research about this. Haven’t received any reply as yet from here
I just love you!!! Period!!! Your heart is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
Ok...the clay info is what I came for BUT I stayed for the YOU!! Hehe meh so what I’m partial! Still true! Love to you and Dad! ~The Kid
Thank you Lisa! By the way, that little fig is still growing like crazy now. I smile every time I see it. It is a reminder of both my mom AND our good friend who has been following us for over three years :D
Rain Country That makes me so happy!! I’m glad it’s bringing someone so dear a bit of joy. It’s a little hug from your mom and I whenever you smile. 🥰 And shoooot I’ll keep stalkin ya another blue moon too. You’re very dear friends and I’m blessed to say so. ❤️
@@lisabooker6405 Thank you so much Lisa, you are such a wonderful lady and I am honored to be your friend
Thanks! I forgot what bentonite can do in feed, as far as a nice flow in feed bins and good for some of the livestock.
Namaste great video your amazing and such a calming spirit GOD BLESS
Hello thanks for the video I enjoy them all.
I think that was everything i wanted to know.
Thank you 👌🍀🐺
I've used bed tonight. Clay with coconut oil and pepperminoil for my tooth powder. And I use it 3 times a week. Just because my gums are very sensitive. And I don't want to overscribe but it's very beneficial. I agree.. I've also used it in my homemade deodorants. Because baking soda makes me itch and gives me a rash. So bentonite clay, I also use for my masks as well as people. Give me those stupid gel masks with the tissue paper inside of it from the Dollar Tree store. Thinking they're good for my skin, and they are not. The bed tonight, clay is way better.. So a 100 %, whatever you're saying you're experienced. My experience as a raky practitioner and retired medical assistant who has exama this works for me.
Fun fact: food grade bentonite is found in incredible places. The most popular being soft-serve ice cream in most fast food locations, as well as many gravies i.e. KFC’s gravy. Unfortunately it’s substituting instead of supplementing in these situations.
right
@@utubestalker.dotcom Sometimes I simply give a heart to a comment so people know I read it. What is hart to believe about that?
Love Dr Axe and Wellness Mama❤️
Oh my face turns red to you but I’m pretty sure it’s just because how do you ride it gets and then if you move at all like if you smile it kind of pulls your skin and it’s like in the winter time when your face gets really dry I kind of like hurts if you leave it on too long and it dries too much but once I rinsed it With cool water and moisturized.... it disappears within 15/20 min maybe. I just wanted to let you know I’m pretty sure it’s just from the drying effect and pulling on your skin when you move or just from drying that is making your face red. It does shrink a lot and pulls on your skin but oh my God it is truly magical I just got it and I’ve had this pimple on my cheek for four years and I used it for three days and I think it came out I’m still watching it to see what happens and if it’s truly gone. Thank you for making this!!I wish I knew about this so much sooner geez!! Love this stuff
Right, it is best to rinse it off before it is completely dry, I learned that one too!
Best and cheapest to buy from pottery store. I take with b-soda, somehow for me this works great, I sleep well!. Has lots iron also.
Hopefully that’s food grade that you’re taking!
Omg I LOVEEE your hair!!
Love the video , how often do you take internally .
As with all such things, I do not take it all the time, I mix it up. Sometimes I will do a bit of turpentine with castor oil, sometimes it is diatomaceous earth. I mostly limit these to when I think I need them most. While I think the Bentonite clay can be take internally daily (unlike the other two I mentioned), I still think it is wise to mix things up now and then
Thank you for this! 😊
Thank you Heidi 😊🤗❣️
You doing good thanks for your advice
Great video, thank you! For ingestion, how long can you take it for for detoxing purposes? Indefinitely or a set amount of weeks?
I think it really depends on the person. There is no kind of supplement I take indefinitely but only use as I feel I need, even vitamin C and D
Great video! If I use this as a poltice on mastitis would it stay wet or do I leave it long enough to dry?
Thank you for your interesting tips and recipees. I would like to give you a cheap and natural recipee for deodorant : 10 drops mms, 60ml water, 5 drops dmso. I use it already for months and it works great🙂
Do you mix the mms and dmso?
Awesome video!!!
Thanks!!
God bless!!
You are an amazing person!
Thank you for your knowledge. Write a book! Please.

I buy fermented soy natto at the japanese grocery store and I take silica , I am a Vegan I look 25 years youger than people my age -------Silica is an important component of collagen and connective tissue.Silica is absorbed quickly and easily. Used commonly throughout Germany for maintenance of youthful, healthy skin, hair and nails. Silicea Gel can be used externally for wrinkles, acne and blemishes or internally helping to replenish collagen supply and encourage skin elasticity. An excellent choice for those who are concerned with brittle nails, thin hair and prematurely aging skin.
Best silica come from Germany called " Hubner, Silicea Colloidal " is not cheap..but ista the best , no additives .
If you add Diatomaceous Earth to your mask, that also contains silica.
I heard that we shouldn’t allow bentonite to dry on the skin as it can damage it. If I use it on my face and allow it to completely dry my face burns and turns strawberry red. Don’t allow it to completely dry. Mixing with honey can help keep it moist. Just FYI. Thank you! 💜
Other than having issues when I use it too often in a row (skin turning red and feeling a bit sore) it has always worked good for me but the honey idea sounds great! I had considered coconut oil as well to keep it softer. :)
I've read that the pH of the clay by itself is very alkaline, too much for our skin. I have the Aztec clay, and the directions say to use ACV, which is obviously acidic. When you mix 1:1 clay (alkaline) to acv (acidic), the chemical reaction between the two makes the resulting mixture's pH to be a lot more skin friendly. Sometimes I put a bit of aloe vera gel in after they do their little chemical tango to make it a little more soothing. 😊
I think that's really only be an issue for people with dry skin, I use the clay every other day and it's worked great for my combo skin
I have extremely dry skin and wondering how I could use it in my body to get rid of the dead skin. I have ichthyosis and my skin builds up dry skin cells faster than most, but does not exfoliate off like most people
Thank you for this bentonite clay video!
Hi, I saw a warning that this may contain lead, do you take this internally?
@@maggiewilliams7404 the kind I see are all safe for using on skin and can be used for brushing teeth. Hope that helps.
You look fantastic
Thank you for the great video - I read some articles about the clay and it said it also flushes the good bacteria, what are your thoughts on that?
That is possible due to the minerals in the clay. There are many minerals that are good at killing bacteria and viruses. So just like anything, one would want to use moderation
Thank you for the information on CLAY. I want to do a colon detox.
Great video
There’s an old woman Normandy on the Internet has little birds that she keeps. Gosh I wish I could remember the name of your channel because she is truly adorable. Well anyway, one of her little hands got attacked by something and its whole side was ripped off basically. She just packed it with the Bentonite clay. It took about 3 to 4weeks, but all of the skin grew back and push the clay out. There may have been a little bit more to it than that? I don’t think that she took it off and reapplied it at all.
I would like to try this
Redmond clay from Utah is also amazing!
I drink one tea spoon every other day for alternate months. I am an 'iron' magnet 🧲 and I ether have to have a philbotomy every 6 months or just do the clay, turmeric alternate-😊
It does bloat me up, though
I use a water mix and an artist brush and paint up the face and neck, let it sit for 20+ minutes, and wash
Thanks you as always for your information I use the two websites you mentioned. you are all so helpful.
i also sprinkle some in my bath water alone i switch it up my baths are medicinal and meditative
castor oil or other oils and herbs
herbs i place in reusable cotton tea bags or gauze or even the organza bags used for gifts
Thanks Heidi!
Hi, I don't suppose you have a book or something with all your knowledge written down? That would be wonderful if you did. Thank you x
Please see this video that just published on Friday: th-cam.com/video/Mvn2EDBvaSY/w-d-xo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you for your reply
I found one on Amazon : Healing with Clay
Hi Heidi! I love all your videos and I always learn something new! I just had a question about the Starwest Bentonite clay. It says on the front of the package that it contains an ingredient known to cause cancer and birth defects. 😬 Why would that be if it's safe to ingest?
Never seen that on my packages.
@@RainCountryHomesteadHi Heidi! On Amazon, its on the front of the package . I probably wouldn't have noticed it myself except I read a review and it was mentioned. But it says something about a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer. I can just try and contact Starwest directly. I will definitely try the mask! Thanks so much!
Ok, I know what you are talking about and it has to do with Prop65 out of CA. It is a requirement because it contains silica. You will find that on all DE products, especially if they come from CA along with many other safe and healthy products. I think it is just a scare tactic myself
@@RainCountryHomestead gotcha. Yes, I'm gonna try it out anyway because I think the benefits outweigh any so-called potential risk. Thanks for clearing that up for me, Heidi!
Ya, scare tactics! Just like they don't want you planting comfrey! At least thats what they used to 'advise' in Canada.
Great Information.
Thank you 💖🙏🔥 I devolped bells palsey and I am trying to detox my body. Do you think this will be successful with the bentonite clay ?
I cannot say for certain but would think it should at least help
Awesome thank you ❤️
Hello, Great information and I learn some things that I did not know about. I do have a question. Since the clay hardens when used as a clay mask, would it harden up when taken internally in a drink? I would really like to use it as a detox drink but nervous that it would harden somewhere in the digestive system. I am going to look at all the links right after this. Thank you for sharing, God bless, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
It only hardens once it is dried, it won't dry inside your body :)
@@RainCountryHomestead Awesome that is great to know. So would you put it in a smoothie or how would it be made into a drink? Thank you. ❤😊😁😎🍎
You can, that is one way, it can also be used to thicken various things to make more of a pudding, I have done this a few times. I has a very smooth consistency when mixed with liquids
@@RainCountryHomestead Awesome that is so cool Thank you for the help. 😁😊❤🍶
Thank you ❤
Thanks what a beautiful personality, Long ago Blessed Herbs sold a formula with Bentonite clay which I used for 5 day without food for cleansing the intestine, would you have a similar formula? Again if you are single I would love to speak to you, I am an economist live in Canada and live in my private paradise in Costa Rica. I have seen hundreds of videos but I am totally impressed with your personality. Ciao,
I have been happily married for over 33 years. As for a cleaning formula, I do not follow anything specific. Sometimes I use beet juice with bentonite clay, sometimes with diatomaceous earth. Sometimes I use it with tea or other juices
This is something I have never used before but will be se your link if I try it. Thank you
I always take it before and after I have any kind of CAT scan or x-ray of any type to get rid of the radiation.
And it's also good for remineralizing your teeth and needed nutrients for your hair growth
How does one use this for remineralizing teeth? Drink it? Brush with it?? Thank you
@@pamelapiller3002 I use approximately 1 ounce or so in a glass of water. And drink it down. It works best on an empty stomach rather than drinking after a meal. You'll start to notice a difference relatively quickly... I get the Liquid bentonite clay. I give it a good shake to make sure it's mixed well as it tends to settle somewhat
@@flamingpieherman9822 so that helps the teeth? Thank you so much! So morning is a hood time to take it?
@@pamelapiller3002 I would say morning and evening before you go to bed or good times to take it...you just want to make sure its not after a meal. Also fnd its good for ecoli, and also radiation detox.
@@flamingpieherman9822 thank you, i have some ready for the morning, as i understand it must be in water for a while before you drink it. Doing everything i can to stay healthy!
Hey Rain. I would like to know about bentonite clay can we take it at any time of the day and mix it in a shake or does it have to be away from food and supplements? And why the most of product saying just to use external? Thanks from portugal!
It is possible it could pull the minerals of whatever you are consuming out and carry them out of the body so I suggest just mixing a small amount with water and taking on an empty stomach
It will interfere with the absorption of certain meds. To be on the safe side. Take 1st thing and wait a bit for it to pass through before you eat or take meds. Also drink a lot of water.
is it good for muscle injuries?
Has anyone actually drank it? Did u feel any different? I tried it on my hair and it was such a mess I wont do it again it was all tangled. I like it as a mask tho
Thanks Heidi! I have a bentonite kaolin mix marketed as a clay mask, is this safe to ingest? I looked it up and saw mixed opinions (of course). I love it as a mask and for external use but would love to make a tooth powder and to help with my gut health. Thank you for your time! Blessings! 🥰🤍
I have used kaolin clay as a toothpowder on its own and it works great, I like it better than bentonite because it does not absorb all the liquid like a sponge
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you so much!! 😍
Great video! Can I mix B. Clay with Diatomaceous Earth and Zeolite in one glass of water before bed?
I am not familiar with Zeolite so I cannot say but the other two, yes, you can but I do not recommend doing that more than once or twice a week.
