Redmond Clay is an all natural bentonite clay powder. For thousands of years, primitive people carried a ball of clay with them in their packs. Some of this clay was dissolved in water and ingested with their meals. It was their natural solution for supporting healthy digestion. Today, Redmond Clay - with its more than 50 trace minerals essential to human health - is still used for digestive health, as well as for natural skin care in facials and scrubs.
