oh man, my entire childhood i swear i was packed in clay!
my cousins used to make fun of us because of course my mom always said it cures everything...
she's usually right about that stuff.
it's not too bad taken internally if you mix it in juice. make sure you drinks TONS of water if you drink it, though.
we mostly use it on cuts, bites, stings, pimples, etc - but now i'm thinking i should try in internally for the bumps on my arms.
marcella, when i use it as a mask it does get really pinchy feeling as it dries... it's probably ok as long as you can handle it.
mamatiger, can you ask your local HFS if they could order it for you?
