The idea of mineral healing is not a new one. People all over the world have been using salts, muds and clays for healing for thousands of years, with amazing results. Since this course is all about detox by using clay, I will focus on it.
The first medicinal use of clay tablets was documented in Mesopotamia 2500 years ago. However, there is every reason to believe that clay was used by even more ancient relatives to treat wounds and for other forms of healing. History has records of clays being used to improve the skin and to deal with all sorts of ills by ancient Egyptians. In fact, Cleopatra used to be a major proponent of clay masks, mud body wraps and healing seawater baths.
Alexander the Great used to make his soldiers take clay with them during the times of his military conquests in order to quell diarrhoea, heal wounds and keep hunger at bay (they used to eat clay to do it).
Our ancestors used to eat clay for the same reasons, as well as in order to replenish minerals in the body. This especially applied to pregnant women at the time they needed large quantities of such minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Clay was issued as a ration to soldiers in France and Russia during World War I in order to keep food and water poisoning to a minimum and to prevent stomach infections from spreading. Clays were used to stop such things as sepsis and gangrene.
More recently, French doctors successfully treated flesh-eating Buruli ulcers with green clay.
The focus of this course is on a transdermal detox - from heavy metals and other toxins, by using clay and far infrared. The treatment was created by myself based on years of research into healing powers of clays which I have been using for quite a number of years.
I love clay. It's simple and yet so potent. Having devised the treatment I decided to create a course in order to train others in what I have learned over the years about this wonderful mineral and also to help better understand how clays worked and how they can be used to help us live healthier lives.
There are a number of uses for the clay detox wraps. They include:
- General Detox - Far Infrared stimulates the activity of all the body tissues, on a very deep level. Where the body is heated normally, it would eliminate toxins mainly from the superficial layers of the skin. With infrared heat, deep layers of the skin and body tissues are stimulated into releasing toxins. The blood vessels expand, and this promotes blood circulation, which speeds up nutrient/toxin exchange. Detoxification using Far Infrared systems becomes a much more effective and speedier process.
- Using magnesium chloride or Epsom salt helps to supplement magnesium levels in the body, which in turn helps to produce the energy required for detoxification.
- Another benefit is weight loss - because of the minerals' ability to speed up cellular metabolism, detoxification and remove excess water in the body,
The addition of clay to the treatment helps to promote detoxification which boosts the ability of the body to use fat deposits for energy.
Other benefits include pain reduction, improving immunity, stress relief, reduction in fatigue, insomnia, muscle tension and cramps due to an accumulation of lactic acid and many others.
Like all the other courses, Far Infrared Clay Detox Wrap can be used both by therapists and members of the public wishing to improve their health. The only difference is that to practise professionally, you would need to take the online course in order to get the professional certificate. Please contact me for details.
