Located in France, mines for an excellent raw Illite are worked. Also, so to is a widely used "French" montmorillonite. These clays are produced in and marketed directly from France. Argiletz is one of the few clay companies that handles clay to perfection. From the mining sites that were selected based upon protection against pollution to completely neutral packaging to (one of the keys of their quality) natural sun drying.
Green clay has cosmetic applications but is also for use in Pelotherapy, hydrotherapy, natural medicine and healing applications. Healing clays have traditionally been used for internal detoxification (digestive system and liver), trauma injuries, skin conditions, organ and elimination system stimulation, and localized immune system stimulation and support.
Green clays such as Illite, Bentonite and Montmorillonite have been used by mankind as a part of natural medicine for tens of thousands of years. Today, the art of healing with the earth is formally known as Pelotherapy.
I am excited to share with you, soon, some of my discoveries regarding green clay.
