External clay
In external application, we will make clay poultices.
She has an action antibacterial and healing on wounds. Very effective therefore for wounds since it clean the wound by pulling dirt and bacteria out, prevents inflammation and possible infections, calms pain and allows rapid healing.
Also effective for burns, it acts in the same way as on a wound. It calms the pain and prevents the appearance of blisters.
For our delicate-skinned horses, so it relieves sunburn !Â
As I said above, in a poultice, the clay also acts on the tissues that are deeper below. She therefore used for sprains, she relieves aches and is a very good draining in the case of engorgement, effective for various skin problems… These are just a few of many examples!
Internal clay
In internal use, clay can be given to drink with water. Either water alone, once the clay is at the bottom (but rather to be used to purify the water that our horses drink), or the mixture of water and clay, which has a stronger action.
L’clay helps cleanse the body from the inside. It detoxifies. This is why it may be interesting to have your horse do a clay cure in the spring or any other change of season to help cleanse the body. In addition, it can make it possible to fill mineral deficiencies, because the minerals present in the clay are assimilated by the body.
The clay is effective in case of inflammations and infections, whether internal or external.Â
The clay internally is recommended in cases of diarrhea, which it allows to stop, as well as in cases of ulcers, where it acts as a bandage, in addition to allowing tissue healing.
