More Information
Sacred Clay was formed as a byproduct of underground aquifer water
interacting with underground or surface molten lava or ash. The resultant steam
and pressure transformed certain volcanic minerals into this clay over a short
span of 10,000 years or less – and most likely took place within the last
50,000-250,000 years. .
It has a mild taste with a subtle caramel flavor. It comes from a source 15 miles away from Crater Lake. Geologically formed as a result of volcanic activities. The entire region has been influenced by the sacred energy
of Mt. Mazama/Crater Lake for millions of years. The subsurface has a highly
active aquifer system even to this day.
· Sacred Clay is noticeably uplifting when consumed in
water, Those sensitive to energetics will
likely notice a higher energy field from Sacred Clay.
· Sacred Clay has less grit than most clay due to a proprietary wet sifting process to extract the larger particles before drying. Dry milling methods grind hardened clay rocks and clay sand into powder resulting in a greater chance of sedimentary grit and a heavier end product. Wet classification allows for room temperature particle size reduction, eliminating concerns over heat buildup during standard dry milling. This method does increase production costs, but the final result is a significantly enhanced quality clay product.
· Sacred Clay is dried at the lowest possible heat setting of less than
225ºF (107ºC) using infrared, convection and conduction. Most clays are dried
at much higher temperatures which denature the product in various ways
(possibly explaining why some clays feel "dead"). Hydrothermally
produced clays are naturally created in the earth at temperatures of 400ºF
(200ºC) and above, so this low drying temperature, which is well below its
original creation, leaves its inherent properties intact.
· When Sacred
Clay is applied as a facial, a remarkable softness to the skin is a common
after-effect.
· Sacred
Clay cany help in settling the stomach and supporting
digestion.
· Sacred Clay can be slightly drying to the bowels at amounts in excess of
1 tablespoon per day. This drying effect works well for loose stools, yet those
that tend toward constipation can compensate by taking ElectroEnzymes and
PrimoLife (which are recommended for daily maintenance anyway).
From
a more technical perspective, this clay has cation exchange capacities (CEC)
due to the hydrothermal alteration of the clay. Higher CEC translates to
greater capacity for adsorption of heavy metals and chemicals in the system,
along with the delivery of mineral nutrients to cells
