Contraindications and Cautions |
|
|
Clay packs not for those with 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.
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 Clay Packs |
|
|
1. The recipe is 2 cups of clay formula to approximately 6 cups of warm water. These proportions make a moist and pliable clay that is easy to work with.
2. To make the clay, place the warm water in a large bowl and gradually mix in the clay/herb/spice mixture. The suggested amount of time for keeping the pack on is from 10 minutes to 40 minutes.
3. LL’s Magnetic Clay packs should be 1 to 3 inches thick. The thicker the pack, the deeper the penetration and the greater the drawing power.

Clay Pack Procedures |
|
|
 |
|
1. Packs may be applied on all parts of the body
2. Add the clay formula slowly and mix it with a whisk until the clay/spices/herbs are well mixed and you have achieved the proper consistency (see guidelines above). Wear a dust mask to avoid breathing in the clay dust. Try not to get the clay dust in the air when mixing.
3. Apply the warm clay to the skin. Cover the clay with plastic wrap and hot wet towels. Then cover with dry towels to keep the area warm (or a heating pad may be used).
|
4. Set the timer for the desired time, or watch the clock. Re-wet the towels in hot water every 5 to 10 minutes.
5. When finished, put on gloves, remove the clay and put it in a garbage bag. Removal of the clay without gloves may cause chemical burns and re-absorption of viruses, bacteria and fungus.
6. Wash off the area and moisturize the skin. Dress warmly until the pores close. Drink plenty of water, juices and teas to boost your energy and improve your digestion.
