Whilst we can no longer advertise this product as food grade due to a clamp down by trading standards (who don’t want any clays advertised this way), we know many people that love using it internally. Silica helps to prevent baldness, stimulates healthier growth and assures a beautiful shine, lustre and strength.

The diatoms have a silica hard shell which does not decompose in the lakes, or sea where diatoms live. Our Diatomaceous Earth is rich in silica (92%), and is often taken as a silica supplement to improve the condition of hair and nails. Diatomaceous Earth works in a purely physical/mechanical manner, not ‘chemical’ and thus has no chemical toxicity and parasites don’t build up a tolerance/immunity to it. With recent evidence revealing clay's common use in lowering food toxicity and promoting digestive health and detox, this ancient practice may continue to have much to teach us about medicine and healing. These plants have been part of the earth's ecology since prehistoric times, yet their species still exists today in both salty and fresh waters all over the world.

Clay is effective as a DYNAMIC PRESENCE far more significantly than a mere consideration of the substances it contains. We apologize that this will increase postage costs but this is because we have had to switch to fully tracked services as Royal mail do not seem to want to deliver letters or untracked post.
