Clay relieves the body
Clay acts as a natural filter in the body. Due to its special structure and composition, it can bind and remove excess acids and metabolic products. The body is relieved and the internal cleansing processes are supported.
Clay applications not only have an external effect, but also intervene more deeply in physiological processes. They support the vascular and lymphatic system in the process of transporting pollutants away, promote the blood flow and help restore internal balance. The minerals and trace elements contained have an effect anti-inflammatory, stimulate metabolism in tissues and Strengthen that immune system.

Versatile clay application
Clay can be used in various ways:
Clay baths are not only circulation-promoting, but also deeply relaxing. At the same time, there is gentle, even pressure on the tissue, which acts as a natural compression. This supports lymphatic backflow, reduces swelling and relieves the overall load on the lymphatic system.
