Our earth provides the nutrients that make plant life possible, and not only does the earth sustain the plant life, but it also sustains all animals and humans too. We sometimes think of soil as being “dirty” but ordinary soil and water is an effective cleaning agent, and sometimes it is even more effective than soap. Taking this a bit further, there are several naturopathic treatments that depend on the use of soil, in the form of clay and mudpacks. Let’s take a look at how clay and mudpacks can be used to treat a variety of human ailments. Clay is generally used as a paste, to be applied directly as a salve, or in the form of a pack. Usually clay paste is applied to the abdomen or other regions of the body which show symptoms of disorder. If necessary, it can be applied to the whole body, or a mud bath can be taken, in which the entire body excepting the head is buried in clay of suitable consistency. The value of clay packs is multifold. The clay packs cool the affected area much more than an ordinary cold pack, bringing temperature down. They also absorb toxins when they are applied to a boil or a weeping wound. In addition to the above mentioned benefits, clay helps by providing relief. The clay also helps by drawing out the pus and cleaning the wound. Clay also helps to reduce swelling and can be used to relieve tension in the muscles and soothing over-stimulated nerves from localized pain and is effective in treating fevers, constipation, diarrhea gastric/duodenal/ intestinal ulcers, bleeding of the uterus, piles, fissures, appendicitis, cancer, all kinds of skin problems, asthma and other lung conditions, migraine, high blood pressure, stomach ache, irregular menstruation, and hundreds of other diseases and conditions. Clay of any color can be used, provided it does not contain harmful materials or chemicals. To minimize the presence of pesticides or any other chemicals, it is best to collect the clay from at least 3 feet or 1 meter below the earth's surface. If the clay is highly viscous (sticky), some fine sand should be mixed with it, even up to 50%. Coarse materials like pebbles and sticks should be removed, if necessary by a sieve. If the soil has too much sand already in it, then it is not suitable. Unless the clay is being used immediately, then it needs to be dried in the sun, then it may be powdered and stored until it is needed. |
