Red clay is an abundant material in nature, where it is often found as a soil. However, what many people don’t know is thatred clay is also a very effective natural remedywith many and varied applications for health and beauty.
The composition of red clay is very similar to that ofgreen clay, but the former has a higher content of iron oxides and hydroxides, which give it this peculiar reddish tint. It also contains aluminium silicate and magnesium silicate, useful to relieve muscle discomfort.
1
Red clay is an effective natural remedy to stimulate blood circulation. By promoting blood flow and providing more oxygen to the muscles,red clay helps muscles relieve chronic injuries or pain. To make good use of this health benefit of red clay, it is important to use it only where there is no acute inflammatory process, that is, only in non-congested areas.
Red clayprovides warmthto the area where it is applied. If you combine it with base oil and essential oils, it is even more effective. Red clay is alsoa powerful antiseptic, and further purifies the deeper layers of the dermis.
2
Red clay also has astringent properties, and it is a powerful remedy to promote andstimulate healingand the formation of scars, as it is absorbed very easily and helps drain any impurities in the application zone. Due to its high absorption power, red clay allows the fastneutralization of toxins.
3
Another of the health benefits of red clay is that it is one ofthe best natural remedies forvaricose veins, and it also relieves thepain from osteoarthritis or mild inflammation. And if you have delayed onset muscle sorenessafter exercisingand apply it to the area where you feel cramps you will soon notice improvement.
4
The beneficial properties of red clay also extend to beauty and cosmetics. It is highly recommended forsensitive and delicateskin, as it dries it out much less than green clay. If you haveacne, red clay will help you regulate excess fat, and it also promotes the healing process of acne scars. It is additionally useful for eliminating pimples and blackheads.
Red clay is highly recommended tocontrol excessive sweatingproblems.
5
Red clay helpsthoroughly cleanse the skinand promotes cell regeneration. It is highly recommended as a cleaner and scrub, both for the body and the face. It helps combat stretch marks and cellulite by simply applying masks in the area. It can also be used as amask for oily hair, as it helps regulate excess sebum in the hair roots. However because it has a tendency to stain, I wouldnt recommend it on blonde or light coloured hair. In general, red clay brings vitality and tones the skin deeply.

I have never used red clay like this – there are a lot of other things I would do like work out the why? Get a medical diagnosis as there can be bone spurs and a whole range of other things causing it. Working with clay for pain is not the best option

Red clay and vinegar for a sprang ankle. Before going ro sleep. Put it around ankle with ace bandage, not tight and not roo loose. Put a paper bag over it to sleep. Next morning, put pressure on it while you stand up. Then wash it. Then run, walk on it, no pain.
