There are certain instances, usually in cases of chronic ailments, where it is advantageous to apply clay and cabbage poultices alternately. Since we know that clay disperses and cabbage draws together, the alternating actions will produce effects similar to those of a counter-irritation. This is often desirable in chronic rheumatic and arthritic conditions.
Taken internally, clay has a remarkable effect on diarrhoea and inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. Whatever medication is taken for these problems, it should be added to clay water.
Everyone could profit physically from an intestinal cleansing twice a year and the best clay to use for this purpose is the white, sand-free kind, although yellow clay is suitable too. Such a course of treatment should last a week at a time.
