PrintGreen clay, also known as illite, is an organic material comprised of a host of essential minerals, iron oxides, and decomposed plant material such as kelp and seaweed. Illite was called French green clay for centuries, named after the rock quarries in the south of France that yielded most of the world's illite deposits. The clay is truly green in color; the more it leans toward gray-green, the less valuable it is deemed.
Illite Green Clay is a clay rich in mineral salts and trace elements, with high absorption properties (like a sponge). It is purifying, healing and suitable for small everyday sores.
It is used in alternative medicine, both externally and internally, for many reasons, but mostly for cleaning and detox because of its vast absorbent properties. Illite is also used to relieve menstrual cramps, morning sickness, diarrhea, indigestion, and heartburn.
This clay can be used as a face mask to correct imperfections for normal or oily skin (not dry). You can also make a mask for oily hair (as a paste) and to help against scalp perspiration (powder).
