Bentonite Clay is a natural calcium montmorillonite clay formed from ancient volcanic ash deposits. Valued for centuries in different cultures, it has been traditionally recognised for its wide range of uses. With its naturally occurring mineral content and a fine, smooth texture, this clay is carefully processed to preserve its integrity and purity.
As a premium-grade, additive-free clay, it can be used externally in a variety of ways, including as a poultice, mud pack, bath soak, or face mask. Its gentle consistency makes it a versatile choice for those seeking a natural clay option prepared to high standards. Referenced in historical records dating back thousands of years, bentonite clay continues to be appreciated for its natural composition and wide-ranging external uses.

Adults for general health maintenance: Mix 1 heaped teaspoon of Ancient Purity Bentonite Clay in a large glass of pure water or juice and drink once daily. Alternatively, a heaped teaspoon can be added to a litre of clean water (glass bottle) and sipped throughout the day.
Take on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning or late evening. 2 hours between meals. Adequate intake of fresh filtered water is vital due to the absorptive nature of this product.
Or take Ancient Purity Bentonite Clay as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
Children: Take 1/2 teaspoon per 50lbs of body weight. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
Face Mask: For smooth and healthy skin, make a paste of Bentonite and water and apply to face as a mask (a similar mask is used in many spas). Leave on for 10-20 minutes and wash off with warm water. If you feel a pulling and tightening sensation, it means the mask is working. Typically do this once or twice a week.
NOTE: You may experience slight redness of the skin directly after removing the mask. This is totally normal and should disappear in about 30 minutes. If you’re nervous about this, perform a spot test elsewhere on your body 24 hours prior to using this mask on your face.
Detox Bath: First we highly recommend using Magnesium Spray as this will massively help detoxification happen. Then add about 1/4 cup of our Bentonite Clay to a bath for a relaxing detox bath that softens skin.
Bentonite Clay Foot Baths: While not quite as effective as a full body soak, are proving to be very beneficial as well. So, if you can't do a full body clay bath, a Calcium Bentonite foot bath is the next best thing. To prepare your clay foot bath, you'll need a plastic tub. Most people prefer a container that's deep, in which they can submerge their whole foot. Do not use a metal tub because the metal will react badly to the clay. A plastic shoe box or even a five-gallon plastic bucket will work fine.Place a towel on the floor to catch any splashes and set your tub on the towel. Fill the tub about 50-60% with warm water. Add half a cup of Bentonite Clay or more and whisk it around until it's fully dissolved. Submerge your feet and relax for 15-30 minutes. If some of the clay settles to the bottom of the tub, that's fine. You can wiggle your feet a bit to mix it back into the water. After your foot soak, dry your feet and apply a natural moisturiser.
For Hair: As a shampoo replacement Bentonite Clay may also be used as a shampoo trapping and removing dirt, debris, build-up and other particles from your hair and scalp.
Mix 1 to 2 parts Bentonite Clay.
Slowly add water to the clay until you achieve a pancake mix texture.
Apply to your hair (dry or wet).
Allow to set for between 15 - 20 minutes.
On the Skin: Externally, apply a paste of Ancient Purity Bentonite Clay and water on any skin irritation like blemishes, insect bites, cuts, skin itching, or burns. Leave it on until it dries and wash off. This is said to be especially calming to itching from various skin health issues.
Skin Poultice for Bites/Burns/Cuts/Stings: For more severe issues, create a poultice by putting a thick layer of clay on the skin and applying a wet gauze or cloth over it. Wrap the area and leave the poultice on, changing every 2 hours. Using Bentonite Clay with Psyllium Husk: Perhaps the best way to utilise both is to take 1 heaped teaspoon of Psyllium husks and 1 tablespoon of Bentonite Clay mix in Water. Drink this immediately as the PH thickens quickly. Drink pure water after this as PH draws water from the colon. Some people do have both on the same day not together, some people use the C60 Charcoal too, adding a capsule in to the blend.
WARNING: Do not store or mix Bentonite clay in metal. Keep container closed and in a dry place when not in use. Do not take the clay with medications and/or dietary supplements as it may bind with other substances, possibly reducing their effectiveness. Please consult your physician if you if you are taking any prescription medication.
