Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 Hi Barbara, I am not sure the name of it is really " mud therapy " . In fact I just found out the real world would be, in English, " clay " . Here in Brazil they call it " Geotherapy " which sounds so much better The biggest problem is to find a good source of clean clay.It has to be dug deep from the earth in places where there are no human waste around. Once you get it (I have a lady the sells it here and she gave me some) we dry it, pass it through a strainer (is that the word?) so it gets fine powdered, and charge it by leaving it in the sunlight. We can keep it in glass containers, plastic and metal apparently are no good. To use in open wounds it is a good idea to sterilize the dry clay using a glass jar with it inside a pan with water. Theoretically mud has this properties of detoxing, cleaning, healing. I tried in pimples and it dried them straight away. But I put it on, let it almost dry completely, get it off, put more on for a few times. Just one is not enough to clean anything. I did the same with my dog, kept changing the mud for at least 8 times. It was worthed, though, the healing is full on now. I put the mud then a bandage to keep it on. Let it almost dry, took it of (it peels off) and applied a new one over and over again. Like many of the alternative medicines, it is said that some stuff can get worse before getting better. The author claims to have helped to heal diabetic ulcers and other not so easy to heal type of wounds. I also used it on a friend that had a rash. The doctor gave her a medicine to use but she was not happy with the results. One application with clay and the red was gone! I loved it We can mix the clay with herbs, tea, you name it. Does anyone know if there is a book about the subject of using clay in healing in English? I only know this one in Portuguese. I also found a healer that deals with that and I am meeting her soon to talk. Apparently she wrote a book about geotherapy too, so I am going to buy it for me. Well, that is, I am no therapist but it has been great fun dealing with clay in this way. Mud pies in a grown up way! Two things to remember if you decide to play around it: used clay is full of toxins, can't be used again. And clay will clog pipes so be careful where you wash it off. That said, this is really all I know about the subject If there is anyone here that deals with clay in healing ways I would love to hear from you!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 Namaste, Used to use some clay products that came from a health food store. White, pink and green clay, each of which had different properties---from Weleda maybe. Will let you know if I can remember more.
