Contraindications and Cautions |
|
|
The contraindications for clay baths are heart conditions, high blood pressure, taking prescription medicine and pregnancy. Always consult with your doctor if you are on medication, have a chronic condition, or have a special health concern.
Also, if you are elderly, or extremely toxic, weak or ill, you may wish to use less clay or stay in the bath for a shorter amount of time. Perhaps a clay footbath instead of a full body bath would be appropriate for you (See Footbath Instructions).
These special clay baths remove toxins along with some minerals/vitamins and electrolytes. Do not take a clay bath after a heavy meal. Also, the clay may be slippery—please take precautions.

Detoxification & Symptoms |
|
|
Some normal symptoms from toxic elimination are nausea, light-headedness, a pulling sensation from parts of the body and fatigue. If these occur during the footbath, stop and remove your feet. Use less clay and take less time for your next bath.
The occurrence of the above symptoms means that the toxins are moving too fast. Just go slower. Activated charcoal is recommended for neutralizing toxins. Also, Rescue Remedy, a natural flower essence useful in any type of emergency, can be found in most health stores.
Ginger and peppermint tea powders, included in the kits, are known to give energy, improve strength and help digestion; you might take some in hot water following the bath, and keep drinking the tea (over the next 24 hours) until the packet is empty.

Guidelines for Footbaths |
|
|
1. Check your pH to see where you’re acid/alkaline is. Take Cellfood or something comparable before and after the bath. VAXA Buffer pH capsules can assist in getting your pH to the proper levels.
2. The suggested amount of LL’s Magnetic Clay is1 to 2 cups in the footbath for 10 to 40 minutes.
3. For chronic and acute illnesses, always check with your doctor and use smaller amounts (i.e. ½ cup for 10 minutes) and then gradually work up to 1 cup for approximately 20 minutes.
4. Healthier people might start with 1 cup for 15 or 20 minutes, and gradually work up to 2 cups for 40 minutes.
5. Never have the water temperature over 104°F. Also, best to wait an hour after eating before taking the footbath.

Footbath Procedures |
|
|
1. Fill the bucket ½ full of 100° to 102°F water.
2. Add the selected clay formula slowly, as if you were making gravy, and mix with a whisk until the lumps are gone. Better still, use an old blender, filling the blender ¾ full of warm water, add ¼ cup of clay and blend for 10 to 15 seconds. Poor into bath container and repeat until amount desired is reached. Average is 1 cup per baths up to 45 minuets. Wear a surgical mask to avoid breathing in the clay dust.
3. Put your feet in the water and set your timer for the appropriate time, or check your clock.
4. When the time is up, remove your feet and clean them with warm water.
