Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I put a question mark on the end of my subject because I don't proclaim to know what I'm talking about but that never stopped me before ;>) My wife is taking twice weekly clay baths for the detox effect. We use the clay from http://www.earthslivingclay.com/. She soaks in a tub of warm water with this clay for about an hour. She loves her clay bath! Every time she does this, at night, the next morning when she starts her rebounding she begins a series of runs to the toilet, usually 4-6 times. I assume the liver and gall bladder to be involved. WE have been told that the effectiveness of the clay is only about half used up so we save that tub of water (we have 2 tub/showers). A couple of days later the clay will be settled to the bottom and we dip or pump the cold water out using a small pump like this one: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail & productId=31944-335-R106 & lpage=none After, that, more hot water and a second soak yields the same effect the next day but not as strong as the first soak in fresh clay. It is important that metal not come in contact with clay because it will ground out the electrical properties. For that reason it may be necessary to modify your tub drain. This won't work in a steel or cast iron tub or at least you can't get the second soak. Also- even if you have a non-conductive tub but it has a drain that is connected to metal pipe, you'll lose the charge for a second soak. That can be avoided by taking out the strainer, use a rubber plug in the drain hole and smear some clear silicone sealant on the metal ring around the drain (you would do this ahead of time, the first time, and let it dry), OR- use a flat rubber drain stopper and make sure it stays in place after the first soaking. If you have plastic plumbing then none of this should be necessary except it's still good to take out the strainer and use a rubber plug so you don't lose clay into the drain.
