Important Facts - Equine Healing Clay

The healing clay was discovered on the West Coast of British Columbia. Paleontologists tell us the clay is over 45,000 years old; this rare product is the result of the movement of the great Glaciers. As the glaciers retreated the glacial sediments settled in coastal lagoons.

Mineral Claim

One of the largest recorded deposits, a mineral claim staked by the author, is over 4 meters thick (12 feet) and covers an area of more than twenty acres (there are only two registered mineral claims, of this type, in British Columbia).

Aboriginal Roots

The aboriginal peoples have used this natural element for hundreds of years to treat cuts, abrasions, swollen limbs, fevers, mange, insect bites and skin irritations. Animals in the wild congregate and wallow in the clay where it is exposed under natural conditions.

Treats a Variety of Animals

For treatment of household pets, including horses, the clay has no natural equal. The first reaction people have when they are first introduced to the clay is, “I am not subjecting this valuable animal to be treated with common mud”. This is fair comment until you know the facts and the reasons as to why it works.

Clay, not mud

First of all the product is not a mud, it is a mined mineral consisting of large amounts of oxides and trace minerals. During the production process the clay is heated to temperatures over 240 degrees Fahrenheit. This extended heat treatment insures that there are no pathogens in the product. The screening procedure removes the majority of the foreign matter, which to begin with is only 2.8% *. The finished product has a maximum particle size of 41 microns down to 0.01 microns.

How does it work?

Simply put, the clay has the ability to accumulate a great number of negative-ions on the surface of the clay platelets, (negative-ions “the good guys”, attract positive-ions “the bad guys”, Most bacteria have a positive ionic charge. The clay platelets, with their negative charge, magnetically attract the positive ions. This reaction causes the blood circulation to increase to the affected area, resulting in a greater number of nutrients being made available through the body’s own circulatory system, to help in the healing process. As the positively charged bacteria are attached to the negative-ions, natural secretion cleans the area and partially sterilizes it. Removing the clay once daily with clean warm water gets rid of the toxins that will have accumulated in the clay.

What it does?

When applied, the product will stimulate the blood circulation to a particular area of the body, helping to increase the flow of nutrients through the blood stream that will greatly aid in natural healing. The negative ions will attract the positive ions cleaning the affected area, help to partially sterilize it, and get rid of any accumulated toxins. The product will not cause harm if licked and swallowed. There are no added ingredients; the producer guarantees that the product consists of pure mineral and trace minerals known as Glacial Marine Clay. The company makes no claim as to the clays ability to cure, only that it may assist in the healing process.
