Chronic fatigue, low energy levels Magnesium oil Bishofit or magnesium flake boost energy by delivering magnesium to the body via transdermal application which in turn promotes weight loss in the most organic way. Sodium cholride iodine-bromide salt works well to stimulates metabloism thus helping to raise energy levels. Use 500g in a bath as requred. Rapan mud, clay or magnesium thermal wraps are great for a tired body and mind. The mud should not be used by people with heart, blood pressure problems, pregant women or people with tumours, since it is highly bio-active. Candida Albicans Candida Albicans is a fungus which is normally present in the mucous membranes such as the vagina, mouth, or rectum. It can also can travel through the blood stream and affect the throat, intestines, and heart valves in which case it becomes a life-threatening condition. Symptoms of Candida can include vaginal itching and discharge, bad breath, white coating on the tongue, bloatedness, fatigue, lack of energy, inability to lose weight, etc. Magnesium oil Bishofit or magnesium flake used in a bath/ sitz bath can help address external symptoms and boost energy by delivering magnesium to the body via transdermal application. Calcium Bentonite or French Green Montmorillonite clays can be added to a sitz bath (200g to 5 litres of water) to help relieve the itching and irritation. Internal intake of calcium bentonite, French Green Montmorillonite and Diatomite Extra-pure can help deal with the problem from the inside. 1/2tsp of clay and 1/2 tsp of Diatomaceous Earth 3 times a day 1 hour after meals can help cleanse the gut of Candida. Add some lemon juice to the drink. Clay baths help detoxify the whole body and boost immunity which helps figh Candida. Add 500g of Grench Green Montmorillonite and 500g of Magnesium Chloride to a warm bath. Take daily, for 2 weeks. General Detox, Heavy Metal detox French Green Montmorillonite clay- great for both organic and inorganic detox. Works by pulling positively charged toxins between its electrically charged layers (negative) when hydrated. High cation exchange capacity ensures its high effectiveness in detoxification processes. Zeloite - its strict cage-like structure with small-diameter cross-channels and very high cation exchange capacity make it ideal for heavy metal detox. While clay is suitable for both large-molecule substances such as organic (bio) toxins, zeolite can only take small inorganic toxins like heavy metals which get "sucked" into the channels with its strong negative charge inside the chanels and stay there until they are taken out of the body. In this respect zeolite has a higher "holding" power than clay. Rapan clays, salt - Rapan clays have a high "pulling" power on toxins. Rapan salt is high in minerals and magnesium. Both work very well in detoxification processes. Magnesium chloride/ Bishofit - Magnesium is an essential element in detoxification. It is best delviered to the body transdermally, in sprays, massage, a bath or a foot bath. External detox: French Green Montmorillonite/ Zeolite Bath - 0.5kg of clay and 0.5kg of zeolite per bath, warm temperature. Duration: 30-40 minutes. Add 250g of magnesium chloride flake for a more profound effect. French Green Montmorillonite/ Zeolite Foot bath - 150g of clay and 150g of zeolite mix in fairly hot water, add 100g of magnesium flake. Duration - 20-30 minutes. Rapan Blue or yellow clays bath and foot bath - add 500g to a bath of very warm water, mix well. Add 250g of Rapan salt. Duration: 30 minutes. Frequency: every day or every other day, before bedtime. Foot bath - mix 200g of clay in fairly hot water. Add 100g of Rapan salt. Duration: 20 mins. Calcium Bentonite bath and foot bath - 500g in a bath, with added magnesium chloride flake (300g). Foot bath - 250g of clay, 100g of magnesium salt, mix with hot water. Duration: 20 minutes. Internal detox: Both French Green Montmorillonite clay and zeolite can be taken simultaneously, since they complement each other so well. If you are new to clays, start slowly - 1/4 of a spoon each, twice a day. Increase gradually to 1 tps each 2-3 times a day, 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. If on medication - do not ingest, since these substances are highly sorbent and interfere with medicines. Any internal intake of minerals is your own decision and responsibilty. Calcium bentonite - another clay which is very popular with clay fans aiming to improve their health through cleansing their bodies. It has a very high cation exchange capacity. Personally, I prefer the Green Montmorillonite though. Extra-pure Diatomaceous Earth (Peru) - can be used both for parasite and general detox due to its very high sorption capacity. Parasite Detox Our best product for parisite detox is Extra-pure Diatomaceous Earth from Peru. It is called extra-pure due to a very low content of heavy metals. Intake is normally started from 1/2 tsp mixed with a glass of water, about 30 minutes after meals. Can be increased to 1 heaped tsp or even a full tbsp 3 times a day. For animals - best added to food. Sports Injuries Acute, fresh injuries (sprains, strains, contusions) Rapan Blue or Yellow clay - apply very cold on the area, as a poultice. Leave on until the poulitce becomes warm. Change for new. Repeat until the swelling and pain subside. Calcium Bentonite clay or French Green Montmorillonite clay - mix with ice-cold water into a poultice consistency, apply on the area repeatedly changing the poultices until the pain and the swelling go away. Rapans salt -mix with cold water (1 tbsp per 200ml of water), apply on the area as a compress with an ice pack on top. Chronic injuries Massage or spray the area with Bishofit or Coniferous Balsam regularly. Alternatively, make your own magnesium oil from magnesium flake: 1 part flake to 2-3 parts of water. Spray or rub into the body as required. Warm compresses with Bishofit or magnesium oil work even better. For a compress mix Bishofit with water 1:1. Flake - mix 1 heaped tbsp in 100ml of warm water. Rapan blue or yellow clay - apply very warm on the area in the form of compresses or poultices, for 1-2 hours or overnight. Insomnia, poor sleep, stress, anxiety Magnesium chloride is the most powerful side-effect free relaxant found in nature. Apply magnesium oil Bishofit on the skin after a shower before going to bed, or have a magnesium massage, a bath or a foot bath. Do it regularly - every day. You should notice the improvements fairly soon. Use magnesium flake for baths or foot baths, since it is more economical. Use Coniferous Balsam neat on the skin to calm down. It contains magnesium chloride. Have a very warm salt bath using Rapan salt (about 500g per bath). It is high in magnesium, contains bromide and other minerals, so will not only calm down the mind, but also re-mineralise the body. Diabetes, type II It has been proved that there is a strong link between diabetes and magnesium deficiency. Magnesium oil Bishofit applied as a spray or through massage, or magnesium baths taken on a regualr basis can help to stabilise the blood sugar and raise energy levels. Magnesium flake can be used for baths and foot baths. Use 500g per bath or 200g per foot bath. Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis Apply Rapan mud or clays on the skin regualrly as compresses or body masks. Use Rapan salt in baths (500g per bath) Spray Rapan salt on the body in a solution on a daily basis (1 tbsp per 250ml of water). French green illite clay has a wonderful drying and healing action on weeping eczema. Mix 100g of the clay with some water to form a paste, add 1 tsp of olive oil. Apply regularly. Sinusitis - inflammation of the sinuses Use 1 heaped tbsp of Rapan salt or magnesium flake per 200ml of warm water. Use a syringe or a pipette to administer it in both nostrils (about 1 tsp per nostril), wait a few seconds and blow the nose carefully. The salt helps to draw the mucus out of the sinuses and relieve the inflammation. Apply warm poultices made out of Rapan blue or yellow clays over the sinuses, 3 times a day. Poor circulation Sodium cholride iodine-bromide salt is the best bath salt to boost blood circulation, especially in the extremeties. Use 500g per bath, in very warm water, for 30 minutes or as long as can be tolerated. This salt is not suitable for peopl with high blood pressure or any conditions where stimulation is contr-indicated (e.g. tumours). Use "Cold Relief" sodium chloride salt to warm up in cold weather, lavender or clary sage to relax, lemon to freshen up, pine to address aches and pains, eucalyptus for cough and cold. Coniferous Concentrate is sodium chloride salt with the extract of pine needle and other coniferous trees which enhance its circulation-boosting properties, and also deal very well with aches and pains. Weight loss Sodium cholride iodine-bromide salt works well to stimulate metabloism and kick-start weight loss. Magnesium oil Bishofit or magnesium flake boost energy by delivering magnesium to the body via transdermal application which in turn promotes weight loss in the most organic way. Rapan mud, clay or magnesium thermal wraps work wonders for weight loss. The mud should not be used by people with heart, blood pressure problems, pregant women or people with tumours, since it is highly bio-active.
