The original practice of eating clay has long been associated with its natural detoxifying properties and mineral content, including providing spiritual or healing properties as part of traditional tribal rituals. Depending on its source, edible clay can be an excellent source of essential minerals on its own, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron.
Clay particles have both a high absorption and adsorption capacity. Absorption refers to the process where substances are drawn into the clay's internal structure, while adsorption involves substances sticking to the surface of clay particles. This dual action allows clay to act like a sponge, trapping and removing harmful substances from the gastrointestinal tract while removing toxins, heavy metals, and impurities from the body.
