How to Use Blessed Earth® & Kids Clear™ Detox Clay Baths
Detox clay baths are a natural way to support the body’s ability to remove toxins. Below are complete instructions for using Blessed Earth® Detox Clay and Kids Clear™ Detox Clay, including preparation, dosage, safety tips, and foot bath instructions.
Blessed Earth® Detox Clay Bath Instructions
Blessed Earth® Detox Clay is a 100% pure sodium bentonite clay known for its high cation exchange capacity (CEC), meaning it carries a strong negative ionic charge when mixed with warm water. This allows it to attract and bind positively charged toxins for elimination through the skin.
🛁 How to Prepare a Clay Bath
- Measure the Clay: Determine the amount based on severity (see chart below). Avoid inhaling dust—wear a dust mask. Seal the jar tightly after use.
- Fill the Tub: Begin with hot water. Sprinkle clay like icing sugar into running water. Stir with a plastic or stainless whisk until dissolved.
- Hydrate the Clay: Let the clay sit for 5 minutes. Adjust temp to 100–104°F (comfortably warm, not hot).
- Bathing: Carefully enter the tub. Soak as much of the body as possible. Lie on each side if full immersion isn’t possible.
- Rinse: Exit and rinse with tepid water. Shampoo in a separate stall if possible.
- Clean the Tub: Drain and swish any residue down. Add more water if needed.
- Hydrate & Moisturize: Apply lotion and drink an electrolyte-rich beverage like Emergen-C® or ConcenTrace®.
