History: Has been used for thousands of years as both an internal and external purification aid. The Egyptians used it to preserve their mummies. The ancient Greeks and Romans used it to restore health. The great German naturopaths of the last century hailed clay as one of nature's great remedies. Mahatma Ghandi advocated the use of clay for health and purification. Primitive tribes have used clay for both internal and external purification. Today, Bentonite clay is increasingly used both internally and externally by those interested in natural remedies, and it is included on the FDA's famous GRASS list ("Generally Recognized as Safe").

Location: Mixed sodium/calcium bentonite is mined in Greece, Australia, India, Russia, and the Ukraine. In the United States, calcium bentonite is mined primarily in Mississippi and Alabama. Other major locations producing calcium bentonite include Germany, Greece, Turkey, India, and China.

Side Effects: Some have expressed concern over the possibility of presence of small amounts of aluminum in bentonite clay. However, hair analyses appear to indicate that the body does not absorb aluminum from Bentonite.
