Bentonite is a highly absorbent clay rich in calcium and potassium, according to Perry A. Arledge, author of "Living Clay: Nature's Own Miracle Cure." The clay is used as an oil-absorbing agent in cosmetic applications, such as facial masks, but can also be taken internally as a healing agent to rid the body of toxins. Consult your physician before taking bentonite.
Step 1
Measure 2 oz. of bentonite clay onto a kitchen scale. Do this at the beginning of each day.
Step 2
Transfer the clay to the air-tight container. Use a spoon or your fingers to break up any chunks.
Step 3
Add 1 tsp. of the clay to an 8-oz. glass of water. Do this before each meal. Drink the water before eating.
Step 4
Continue drinking the clay water throughout the day. Drink it until you have used up all the clay in the container.
Step 5
Repeat the regimen for the next two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, consume 1 oz. of bentonite clay per day.
