Using Clay On Wounds

A recent wound will respond to clay powder covered with a large cold poultice, which is formally bandaged. Keep in place for no longer than two hours, wash with salted or lemon water and follow up with compress of clayish water.

Clay poultices are said to absorb foreign matter from the wound. If foreign matter is present, poultices should be continued until it is all eliminated. Wounds also respond to frequent airings, but only when they are on the road to healing.

Domestic and farm animals can be treated with clay in exactly the same ways as humans. Mud baths (a hole filled with clay and water) are excellent way to treat farm animals.

Humans suffering from the pains of rheumatism and arthritis may, according to some doctors, also benefit from this bath, beginning with a five to ten minute dip, followed by 15 to 20 minutes every second day or twice weekly for a month. The temperature of the bath should be warm. Its effectiveness is said to be enhanced by the use of salt water instead of well or tap water.

Animals can also be daubed with a mixture of clay, water and sea salt. Place clay on the fur of cats and it will be absorbed as they wash. Or add it to the animal's food or drinking water (four soup spoons per litre of unboiled water).

Clay has a host of other uses. In agriculture as a fertiliser or pack for tree wounds; to improve pH balance of acids soil and, added to the compost heap, it is said to increase the production of humus.
