Using Redmond Clay externally
Even after 50 years, we still hear new ways people use Redmond Clay. Here are some of the most common, and most helpful.
Clay as a Poultice
Hydrated Redmond Clay can be applied externally as a poultice on cuts, bruises, insect bites, bee stings, boils, rashes, achy joints, acne, and burns. To apply a clay poultice, place a thick layer (¼ to 1 inch thick) over the affected area. Redmond Clay has tremendous drawing power, so it should be washed off before it dries completely– especially when used on burns or sensitive areas such as the face. If the area can be wrapped with cheese cloth or plastic wrap, the clay can be left on overnight without drying out.
Redmond Clay Baths
To enjoy a full-body detox, add 1 to 2 cups of Redmond Clay to a tub of hot water and soak for 20-30 minutes. The remaining clay sediment can be safely washed down the drain. We have never seen it cause problems with the plumbing.
Foot Baths
Many people find that a foot bath with Redmond Clay also is a relaxing way to draw toxins out of the body. For a foot bath, add about 3 tablespoons of Redmond Clay to a pot of water that is as warm as you can stand. Soak your feet for about 30 minutes.
Are your products cruelty free?
Nina, animals aren’t used to produce or test any Redmond Trading products. (Plenty of customers use Redmond Clay to benefit their pets, though!)
Is redmond clay good to help get rid of blackheads?
It is, Sarah, to the relief of many local teens. A popular blogger once compared it to one of those biore strips — as it starts to dry, it tends to draw impurities from the pores.
can the clay get rid of scars and bruises and help with uneven skin tones?
Serena, clay isn’t going to do much for uneven skin tones, and we’ve read some books that hint at using clay on scars, but to be honest, we’re not so sure about that. Our customers are a pretty vocal, grateful group, and we haven’t heard anyone loving clay for minimizing scars. (Vitamin E oil has helped with my daughter’s surgery scars, though.)
But for bruising and scrapes, clay has a great track record. We use it ourselves and have heard thousands of “thank you” messages from customers using it that way. This video will show you how people apply clay externally.
Does Redmond Clay work good for sunburns. I have a big sunburn on my back and we have some redmond clay. If it won’t work I do not want to waste it.
Redmond Clay is all we ever use to soothe sunburns, William! We should put together a video about that…
I have stomach ulcers & my husband has C.L.L. cancer. Is it safe to use the clay pills as a detox & will it harm the liver? Thank you Vicky
Vicky, you’ll want to run it by your doctor, but you’ll almost certainly get relief for your ulcers, and since Redmond Clay is perfectly natural it won’t negatively affect the liver. Good luck!
Could we use the redmond clay on a 16 month old child who has a rash almost over his entire body, except for his face? Would it help get rid of the rash?
Thanks.
Phyllis, it’s certainly worth a try. Putting a little powder clay in his bath water (maybe 1/4 cup) could be an easy way to start, and a clay poultice would also be worth a try. We have never known clay to hurt a rash, and it has helped many. You might want to watch the video clip about using clay externally to get you started. Good luck!
I heard there is a redmond clay concoction for losing weight. Is it possible?
Hi Gabby,
In her book Living Clay, Perry A. says that because the clay eliminates waste in the body, it helps the liver do its job thus helping the body maintain a healthy weight.
My son (18 mo) suffers from severe constipation. I worry that he has toxins in his body that could be contributing to it. I took hormones while pregnant, and I wonder if that could cause something like this. He eats plenty of fiber, liquid, and no sugar or dairy so it’s not really diet related. My clay is coming in the mail tomorrow and i am eager to try it. How would you suggest I get it in him? Does it have a taste?
Also would putting it in his bath have the same effect? How often should people take a detox bath? Can you overdo it?
Hi Steph,
Because the clay is a completely natural product, we do not make any medical claims regarding it. When it comes to little guys like your son, we always suggest taking a sample of the clay and some information to your health professional. That being said, the clay, at times, can be constipating for adults and could have the same affect on your son who you say already suffers from this problem. For adults, we strongly suggest drinking sufficient water throughout the day when using the clay. For a free sample of the clay along with information you can reply with your shipping address. More great clay information can be found on our website at http://www.redmondclay.com.

Hi, I am researching arthritis and I would like to know i have you had any comments from users of this clay helping with arthritic pain (in Knee). Also, is this the same as the calcium bentonite green clay? Thanks in advance.
Hi Talia,
There are numerous types of bentonite clay available from various locations around the globe. Because our clay is safe to take internally, that might make it different from many other clays including some Green Clays. Because Redmond Bentonite Clay is a completely naturally product, no medical claims can be made regarding it. That being said, we have had positive feedback from some of our customers using it to help alleviate the pain that comes with arthritis.

Have a great day!
