pelo·therapy | noun | the application of mud to the body for therapeutic purposes.
Make a clay poultice by mixing the clay with water at a 2:1 ratio in a non-metal container. Add a little more water if it’s too thick and a little more clay powder if it’s too runny. Apply a generous layer over the targeted area and allow to dry. Leave overnight (or as long as possible) and remove by brushing or hosing off.
Our clays can be prepared in any number of ways:
Cold Treatment: Use normal temperature water. This is ideal for general cooldown after training or strenuous exercise.
Hot Treatment: Use warm water (never hot/ boiling). This is perfect for old injuries or flare ups as well as to soothe aching muscles and abscesses.
Ice Treatment: Use fridge water and add ice blocks. Allow to sit until the whole mix is cold. This application is best suited for severe injuries that are angry, hot and swollen.
Volcanic clays are full of minerals and trace elements, have good absorption and facilitate good cation exchange (ionic charge). But not all clays are made equal in their composition and properties and can differ from areas around the world. Research has confirmed that clays with good iron and aluminium content are preferable in healing, especially for wounds. Volcanic clays have these elements in spades, as well as silica which activates collagen production and cellular repair.
Paramagnetism is the presence of a subtle magnetic field. This magnetic field further improves the flow of positively and negatively charged particles at an intercellular level.
Never use metal containers or metal items to mix the clays. Metals can impact the magnetic properties of the clays. Plastic is the best and also the easiest to clean.
Because our clays are all natural and free of harsh chemicals they can be utilised as often as you need them – even every day!
Yes! Are clays are considered non-doping and are legal to use at all levels of competition.
