Re: Bentonite Clay
Well that's a bummer rachel, I got mine at the same time as I shipped my clay, didn't notice.
Amy-ya, carol gave them to me a couple years back when we first started and then after I had the baby. I was just hoping someone had them handy. Just for reference for anyone wanting to try clay. I have my kids on tailored amounts that I adjust with time, which is why its so hard for me to remember what the recommended amounts are. Same with de. I just sort of have it memorized according to my palm or by site. |

Re: Bentonite Clay
I am finally pulling the trigger on this... Earth's Living Clay has a February special with EIGHT POUNDS of clay for under a hundred bucks, and free shipping too!
Also deals on smaller amounts, like 4lbs of clay plus two 8oz bags of bath powder for $53. www.earthslivingclay.com

I gave him about 1/4 cup of hydrated clay to drink. then i put a thick paste over his eyelids for 30 minutes, it instantly soothes and feels cool. Gave him some more clay to drink before bed. a wet clay soaked cloth as needed to ease the beginning of any returning irritation easy peasy... Last edited by me; 06-22-2010 at 04:39 PM. |

Re: Bentonite Clay
Thought I was subbed to this thread, but apparently I wasn't.

Re: Bentonite Clay
After reading this thread, I ordered some clay from Earth's Living Clay. DH and I started taking it last week. I feel like it is helping with sugar cravings.
Me, Carol says thank you for my order. E has some long lingering cradle cap that I'm going to start spraying some clay water on. Carol is hopeful; she is so nice and helpful! I'll update ya'll with the success.

Re: Bentonite Clay
I am waiting for my first order too.
Hoping it helps w/healing my c/s incision that got infected and prevents me from getting thrush from the antibiotics I had to take.

Re: Bentonite Clay
Our new favorite smoothie is my mock milkshake.
- Rice/almond/or cultured coconut milk (whatever i have from the most recent sale) - ice -cocoa powder - sprinkle of cinnamon - clay - de(optional, if you have a bed wetter, do it! yes there is a way to cure that too) - and a banana or a sprinkle of sugar cane just to sweeten enough. in a pinch i sweetened it with a pack of abuelitas cocoa mix and that was the bomb but i wouldnt drink that mix everyday Throw it all in the blender (or add the clay to the glass and stir). Quote:
Carol is super nice. I like how welcoming she is, she's the only person Ive ever bought something from that i dont mind calling to ask things. Im as bad about that as my husband is about directions. shhhhh, i didnt just say that You could also mix some clay into olive oil and let it sit on the scalp. I say mix with olive oil cause it will slide off really easy but if depending on how your washing the hair already you could just put a little hydrated clay on the spot as you fill the tub, finish the bathing, then rinse it off at the end. That alone should get it all off. if it keeps returning, which im guessing it will since she recommended spraying clay water on it, i would think its maybe the soap you are using or digestion. I know it sounds crazy but for us, craddle cap is always resolved with those two things. Seems like the only shampoo (and i have tried them ALLLLLL, lol) that doesnt cause build up over time on my kids scalps is California Baby. Its crazy pricey, but i havent found anything to work better. Not even baking soda, not even vinegar. And clay as a shampoo everyday leaves the hair sort of stripped so then im forced to use a conditioner anyway. Which brings me back to only being able to use the california baby. But we dont use shampoo but maybe once or twice a month if needed(or we clean our hair with clay), all the other times we just wash with conditioner. So its pricey but we dont go through it very fast. OH! buy a salon quality boar bristle brush with plastic bristles mixed in. That is also really good for the scalp and will also help keep the craddle cap stuff away. Im a grown up and I still get that craddle cap stuff on and off. Dont buy the cheapy boar brushes from walmart or the drug stores. Last year I lost my good boar brush from Acca Cappa. So i bought one from walmart, it started falling apart, then i bought one from CVS, same thing, i just got one from Target that is better quality, i like it much better than the lesser priced ones but the paint is already wearing. I wish I could find the Acca ones here. It would have cost me the same for what ive spent in cheapy boar brushes. [/B] No need to hope, it will....hee-hee..its not just me that has gotten rid yeast with it here. And where the antibiotics leave off the clay will pick up. I hope it arrives in time. |

Re: Bentonite Clay
Just read the WHOLE THREAD.
I told DH about it, and he said "Do you know what bentonite clay is? Kitty Litter!" and he said I should hydrate the kitty litter and use it as a facial Sounds gross, but would it work? It might not be as pure as the external stuff that elc sells? Any opinions? |

If what your hubby said was the case then you would be brushing your teeth with kitty litter and drinking kitty litter for heatburn (milk of catboxesia), lol.. Unfortunately, you would not end up with a smooth tightened skin like you would with elc, you would end up with a very red irritated face and possibly some lung irritation. :/ |

Re: Bentonite Clay
LOL! Ok, thanks me!! I KNEW it was too crazy to try. I would not have dared to use it on my face or drink it, but I *might* have used it on my feet or something. Probably not. Just seemed WRONG.

Re: Bentonite Clay
I want to get some clay for thrush (I'm so tired of having an "owey boobie") but $20 is a lot to put out right now. Would anyone like to send/sell me a smaller amount? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! (please PM me)
