Clay that has been "purified" or "pharmaceutical grade" is heated is not very effective because it has been through either a chemical or heat process that destroys any and ALL  micro organisms  that contribute to healing and antibacterial properties, Problem is, it destroys a majority of the clay effectiveness in the process.  RAW pure Calcium Bentonite Clay. That it's free of any contaminants is the best clay, I prefer the green calcium.   Always make sure to read the label if it said 'purified' or "pharmaceutical grade" don't buy it! It is only a shadow of what RAW clay can do for you. Stan E. PHD

Preparation of clay

Clay gathered from its original source deposit is refined and processed in various ways by manufacturers. This can include heating or baking the clay. Some practitioners insist that raw clay (as close to its original state as possible) has the best therapeutic effect.  This is because the raw clay also tends to contain a variety of micro-organisms that may contribute to healing.  Heating the clay may destroy those micro-organisms.

Too much processing, likewise, may reduce the clay’s therapeutic potential. In particular, Mascolo et al. studied ‘pharmaceutical grade clay’ versus ‘the natural and the commercial herbalist clay’, and found an appreciable depletion of trace elements in the pharmaceutical grade clay. On the other hand, certain clays are typically heated or cooked before use.

Medicinal clay is typically available in health food stores as a dry powder, or in jars in its liquid hydrated state – which is convenient for internal use. For external use, the clay may be added to the bath, or prepared in wet packs or poultices for application to specific parts of the body. Often, warm packs are prepared; the heat opens up the pores of the skin, and helps the interaction of the clay with the body.

In the European health spas, the clay is prepared for use in a multitude of ways – depending on the traditions of a particular spa; typically it is mixed with peat and matured in special pools for a few months or even up to two years.
