Yes Magda, a few months ago while learning about benefits i said why not use in my mouth…i have bad teeth & swollen gums, it helps!!!‼️ gonna be consistent now…thankyou❤
@@alungooivy2639 Off Grid with Doug and Stacy, she gives her recipe for tooth powder to use as a toothpaste. It uses bentonite clay and Redmond real salt and baking soda. My husband and I have been using it about four weeks. Teeth feel so clean. One weird thing we have noticed is that we have been having more vivid dreams since changing from regular toothpaste. Not sure why, but I feel like that isn't a bad thing.
@@angelaphillips9602 most commercial toothpastes contain fluoride, which isn’t great for our health. So you’ll notice great benefits once removing fluoride, vivid dreams being one. Research pineal gland and fluoride. Happy searching
@@dz2473 I do the same thing. One tea spoon of each, first thing in the morning, with lemon. I have colitis and I can manage naturally with this combo. I have the powder for both and I add the clay to the water the night prior so it’s easy to mix up in the AM
my girlfriend got me to put this stuff on my face yesterday and i was very skeptical. ive had eczema on my face for years and my skin has looked strait nasty. i put it on my face for 20 minutes and before i took it off she was like its going to look great. i was like "whatever babe". i washed it off and i then stared at my skin for the next 5 minutes in awe. this stuff is amazing, my skin looks so healthy and clear.
Gnarly TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL is right -on. My son in love used to mock me because I always say use Tea Tree Oil. But he got a risen in his ear once, and asked me what it was. I said a risen, his next question was how to get rid of it. Of course I said TEA TREE. I swabbed his boil, and within 15 minutes it had come to a head, and I cleaned it, applied more TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL and before the evening there was no sign of any issue. So now WHO keeps a bottle of Tea Tree on hand is him. HAHAHAHAHA
Since I started trying out different foundations and concealers my skin has suffered so bad I have acne which I never had before and even to stop wearing makeup left me with scars and white heads that I can't get rid of.
I watch the video and see how much product is used and I'm astonished any woman would actually welcome all that to be put on their face. I like makeup but today's methods are excessive.
I use bentonite clay on my 12yr old daughters skin. I didn't want to use any harsh chemicals on her skin since she was so young. this works better than any chemical in the store.
Hello, Im a teen too and I just did a clay mask but I don't know how often I should do the mask. How often does your daughter do it? Is it a monthly thing or...
i mix the bentonite clay with apple cider vinegar and honey for a face mask. helped loosen blackheads and made them easy to come out 😁 might stay ingesting it now
Thank you so much for presenting a clean and concise explanation that I could share with my family. I've known about the benefits of Bentonite clay for ages but had little dependable information to pass onto my family of PHD's and then I saw your video and felt like saying "see people!!! I told you so", but I didn't... I just shared it with them and know everyone wants some of my Bentonite Clay. Yay! Thank you Dr. Axe!!!
Try bentonite healing clay for menstrual cramps. I just put a spoonful in my mouth and swallowed it(probably should have mixed with water) the cramps went from 10 to about 3..in less than 5 mins..I thought of using it because it balance the PH of your stomach. I had used it for heart burn and it helped immediately..
Hi Dr. Axe: for the past week I have had viral pink eye and because I work at a hospital I have been at home after going to the ophthalmologist. For days I did not see any changes with the antibiotic drops until I tried yesterday Bentonite clay. It has cleared my eye and the right eye that was getting red, it’s back to normal. I put a paste on my eye and cover it for 20 minutes. My left eye is almost back to normal. I also use Colloidal Silver. I went and read your articles about pink eye and silver. Thanks for all your valuable information. I watch all your UA-cam videos and appreciate all the information. I thought I should share. Have a blessed day!
I woke up with a swollen eye pall, pain in my eye, scratch feel, tearing, and my eye lid was barely open, due to the swollen eye ball. It terrified me and I had just gone to my ophthalmologist the day before my left eye swelled. My doctor noticed a rash on my face which he misdiagnosed as some other type of rash, as did 2 other dermatologist. I read something on line about how to safely treat your infected eye without using antibiotics. I thoroughly washed my hands, face, and then counter top. I used a very clean 8 oz measuring cup and a clean tablespoon. I shook out 20 extra large sterile cotton balls on to the paper towel. You can use sterile vinyl gloves before you being treating your eye. I filled the measuring cup with 8 oz. of very warm clean water from my water dispenser. I pour one tablespoon of "Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar" [ACV] into the 8 oz. cup of clean, very warm (almost hot) water. I laid out several clean - unadulterated paper towels. Then, I shook on to the paper towel about 20 extra large, sterile cotton balls. I put on my sterile gloves, grabbed 2 cotton balls (one in each hand) and dipped each into the cup of warm water and ACV mix. I took the soaked cotton balls and began to tap the entire lash line - starting from where the eyes are bridge of the nose. I continued, along the lash line to the outer part of your eyes (both at the same time). Make sure your lids are slightly open during the process so some ACV mixture gets into the both eyeballs. Then, discard both / used cotton balls and wash your hands. Started the process again with 2 new sterile cotton balls dipped int he ACV & Hot water mixture. Place each soaked cotton ball near the inner edge of the eyes - near the bridge of the eye and tap along the lash lines (at the same time) all the way out to the outer edge with the lids slightly open. Discard both used cotton balls, wash your hands and dry with clean paper towel. If your face is very wet, use the paper towel to pat excess water, as you do the process. Just repeat the process of treating each eye with a clean soaked sterile cotton ball from the bridge of the now to the other edge of your eyes. Discard the used cotton balls when you get to the outer portions of both eyes. Continue the process until all of the ACV & hot water mixture has been used. Then, close your eyes and splash some cool water on your face (including around your CLOSED eyes). Pat your face dry with a dry, clean paper towel. I did both eyes to protect the other eye from an infection. Repeat the treat about 3 or 4 x on Day 1. Started the process again, as soon as you get up on Day 2 and repeat the entire process 3 or 4x. I began to feel better after the first treatment of Day 1. I think the swelling and burning calmed down on Day 1. It worked like a miracle and I did not have to put harsh chemicals in my eyes. Several months later I returned to my alternative doctor and I told him about all the rashes I got for the previous 6 months, which appeared in all sorts of different types of rashes and it got worse and worse. He know exactly what it was (as he is very intuitive). It was the remnants of a virus that tormented me for 6 months. He treated me with lots of L-Lysine, Vit C, and Homeopathic Meds (and maybe other things, but I can not remember what they were). The virus calmed down and so did all my rashes. I use ACV for the rashes that pop up on my legs. It stops the rash from getting worse.
I tried this yesterday, 1 tbsp. in my water (don't let it touch metal), it didn't have a taste. The next morning it was a gentle passing. I didn't have indigestion at all yesterday either. I'm excited to start taking this everyday.

Rain G. 😧😒 Never understand people who are so bothered by faith. You all are as bad as homophobes. Thank God he is sharing this info because it's not "common sense", nor common knowledge. Otherwise you wouldn't be here either.
Lana Belton ..... He has some knowledge but he does give out a lot of "wrong information" calcium bentonite clay is not something that you would take as a "nutritional supplement" it actually pulls, not only heavy metals out of your system and toxins out of your system it depletes the minerals in your body so you must be taking a quality mineral supplement well before you take the calcium bentonite clay or at least two hours afterward not at the same time because the calcium bentonite clay will pull that out of your system I've taken this product many many many many times over the years and I find that it really pulls out minerals and that about 2 hours after I drink the drink my I start to "shake" because I'm so mineral depleted from taking this supplement Dr.Axe does not always give out the right information but a lot of it is accurate so everybody that watches these has to know that he's not exactly "right on" but he is ••somewhat right on in his videos
Dr. Axe in one of your facebook lives you said that we should take this clay only for a limited time( like 3 weeks), in this video you make me understand that we should consume it in a regular basis. Please clarify this issue. Thank you so much!!
I started to use bentonite clay back in Jan 2024. My three bottom teeth have been slightly loose for about 20 years. I've had to be careful what I eat. I notice it especially when I floss. Since using the clay about two months ago I noticed those teeth are not loose any more!!! My complextion is so much better as well doing the mask! I even use it on my hair. GAMECHANGER!!!
@@mrsrhodes9736 I did not use it ON my teeth. I drank it. I used a brand called Mojave Pure. I bought it off of Amazon. It is an all natural Calcium Bentonite Clay, a food grade kind that can be taken internally.
Thank you for refreshing my memory of the amazing benefits of bentonite clay. As I was unpacking boxes from about 3 years ago that were in storage I found a jar of edible bentonite clay. I have it on my face now and am going to have some before I go to bed.
just used the bentonite on my face and saw results right after I washed my face. Glowing skin... also have it sitting in my hair right now, hope I see good results there as well.
Thanks for this, I was watching a nature program where animals would eat clay as part of their diet, clearly they know something we are only now understanding.
Thank you Dr. Axe for yet another helpful lesson. I want to also thank you for your amazingly wonderful website. The information is seemingly endless, and free to anyone who wants to learn. You're just the VERY BEST --- and we love you for it!

Hi I received my order like an hour ago and I must say I am very pleased! I ordered 1/2 lb of your sour dirt and you sent a sample of Guadeloupe. I loved them both😊 Both of them has that sour tinge that I adore and the Guadeloupe has a very rich earthy flavor but what I love the most is the crunchiness of the small pieces inside of it. The colors inside of the sour dirt pieces are so beautiful. Your service was fast and friendly....I give you an A+😊 Thank you Marquessa and I will definitely be ordering from you again!

I see many many soapers ( I was "almost" guilty myself) use bentonite clay in their hand made soaps because of its benefits, BUT a stick blender is used ( metal). I've researched and found it looses most of its toxin/oil pulling benefits once it's wet and comes in contact with metals.
i'd love to know if here is any scientific evidence to back claims like this up or if it's just an old wives tale. i've heard people also say clay has electrical charges and is magnetic etc as well (i held a magnet over mine and nothing happened) Not rubbishing what you said or anything but i'm a curious person and like science experiments that prove things by testing and measuring them in controlled environments.
@@ImTash I’m not sure scientifically how true it is but I will say from experience it has to be true. The last time (before tonight) I used the clay, I accidentally stirred it with a metal spoon when I mixed it and I didn’t feel really anything happen over 15-30 minutes. I actually followed the directions tonight and mixed it with a plastic spoon and my face was pulsing so hard I couldn’t let it sit longer than 12 minutes! I definitely felt a MAJOR difference and that was the only thing I had done differently between the two uses!
@@jerrikamayberry8468 I used the mask for the first time tonight, and I had the same experience. Couldn't go the whole 20 min. Ive been using it in homemade deodorant, as well as for tooth powder and it has worked really well for that. I'm nervous about ingesting it, as I am with anything new that I haven't tried, but plan to do that next. Maybe I will start with a smaller amount, though.
I had been using it for the arthritis in my foot which now has better mobility then the good one. But I didn't know you could take it internally, thanks for the info
I have begun to consume calcium bentonite in the morning and evening, 1/2 Tbs mixed with one cup of water as a means to assist with detox for heavy metals. I am also taking 1 tsp of turmeric mixed with 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbs lemon juice, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp stevia. My question is what are the contraindications of taking the calcium bentonite so close in time to the turmeric? What do you recommend? Currently, I take the calcium bentonite upon waking, wait about 30 minutes and then take the turmeric tonic. I take the second dose of calcium bentonite right before going to bed. Another question is if there are contraindications with magnesium therolate as I take that before going to bed too - could the clay interfere with its absorption? Thanks in advance.
You should not get clay from India due to the issues for lead, but it is about what brand and don't go cheap. I buy the liquid through vitamin shoppe that is already filtered and doesn't require any mixing.
Dr. Axe, Great videos! I looked at the ingredients on -Calcium bentonite- It includes- Silica 61.4% Aluminum 18% Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Titanium, Potassium. What is your opinion on aluminum.. is this safe to eat -Bentonite, especially with aluminum content! What do you think of Rhassoul Clay!
I would drink it at night. After almost 3 weeks of drinking it I woke up one night with my teeth chattering and I had chills and was shivering. It really works....
@@Peace-on-earth771 I mean when your freezing and your whole body is shivering and your teeth start to chatter. That happened starting the third week. That means there must've been heavy metals or dead parasites, or something really nasty in my system and my body was getting rid of it.
Hi, Dr. Axe. Thank you for your video! I am interested in taking Bentonite Clay with Psyllium to do a cleanse. Do you have thoughts about this? Thank you!
Couldn’t do that now otherwise you’d probably be poisoned by pesticides (and/or synthetic fertilisers). Just ask the pollinators which are nearing extinction. Thanks to the petroleum industry and capitalism/fascism 🖕
I've been driving bentonite clay for almost a week, and it's actually helped me sleep "throughout" the night, though it doesn't help me fall 😴 asleep. :) just sharing.
This video is so informative and I'm so excited to try ingesting bentonite clay! Although I've heard someone talking about bentonite clay possibly leaching off nutrients from the body if too much bentonite clay is taken. If you have any answers to this it would be really helpful! Again, thanks for the video!
I’ve read that too. But , I tried not taking any supplements with it & I had no energy .I personally was taking the Magnesium Glycate , Viatamin D3 w/ K2 , & fish oil tablets while I was taking it for a detox. I cut all sugar out of my diet & drank lots of water to avoid getting dehydrated. I added Kombucha to my diet occasionally, although Kimchi & sourkraut have the same effects. Ate a banana for breakfast, skipped lunch & ate salad with spinach, fresh unsalted natural state cashews , blueberries, avacado , tomato’s, mushrooms , ground flax seed & a salad vinegrette dressing that had no sugar added w/ small pieces of meat ( skirt steak is great ) for dinner. Because your diet is an important part of the detox.
I agree with you.. the company best bentonite has some issues with lead. You can research it online the FDA said not to take that product because of the high lead content.
Great info. Can one take enzymes and probiotics while taking clay? Take an hour or so before or after? Does clay remove parasites? Thank you for the great info.
There are probiotics in bentonite clay. But , I’ve seen several dr’s say you should double / triple up on taking probiotics while you are on Bentonite clay. I stopped taking all other vitamins & just ate healthy & removed all sugar from my diet.
Hello Dr. Axe I was wondering what would be the safest and most effective bentonite clay to injest especially with the statement mentioning about "lead" caution.
Just subscribed and look forward to following your programs. The docs don't even talk about this product with us. Must be they know how well it works. Appreciate your clear delivery of content.
That's why I almost never use makeup. The only makeup I use is vegan, cruelty free and based on clays, minerals and plants with no artificial ingredients in them. I make my own face creams.
Thank you for being very descriptive in your explanation on how much and why and what it does. Not a quick 1-1.5minute video that leaves us with questions being unanswered! 😊 Do have question - will taking it produce cramps, upset stomach, increased bowel/diareah until body get used if it.. I realize everyone is different. Thank you!
I appreciate the information. I recommend integrating or inserting text on the screen or and possibly a few photos at different points to reinforce the information and make it more interesting.
I've been learning about bentonite clay in the past 2 days. Your explanation is the best out there. Now I have a question about ingesting the clay: can you mix it with juice instead of water for drinking? Thanks for your help. Blessings.
Wash off vegetables after you pull them from the garden? I've never done that and people say I'm going to get sick lol. I haven't yet. It's just dirt!!!
I use bentonite clay as a mask for my face. Can I also use bentonite clay as a daily skin cleanser in place of soap for my entire body to remove dead skin cells at bathtime? Many soaps i have allergic reactions to so I only use glycerine based soaps, which are hard to find without additives and fragrances. Also because of allergic reactions to lotions, I use coconut oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba or avocado oils as a daily skin moisturizers.
In use it for it for spider bites it's worked well for me over the yrs - i just moisten the clay and put on the bite and bandage it - I leave it for a few days and don't disturb the bandage - about two months ago I was bit on the knee by a black widow ,it itched for a few days but then stopped - I removed the bandage - the wound dried up and healed over fine -
Dr. Axe, I appreciate your video thank you for this information. Can you clarify on sodium and calcium bentonite clay for ingestion and external uses please? I have sodium bentonite by "Now" brand it doesn't say which it is, but says for external use only. So I assume this is sodium bentonite and not able to be used internally but you don't mention it in your video. Just want to be sure and safe, thank you for your time.
Hey Dr. Axe, I found your article on bentonite clay very helpful. Is it okay for me to share portions of it on my website and reference you as the author?
... FYI .. Dairy Queen ice cream used to have a "proprietary recipe" for their ice-cream.. it would sooth upset stomach .. make you feel good .. but they changed it when rumors and bad "PR" circulated that they were adding "DIRT" .. if you want a GOOD ice-cream .. make your own w/ whole milk/ cream and bentonite clay for the creamiest/ best ... since the old DQ ..
Thank you for this information. Periodically, I have been applying Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay to my face and have reaped the benefits. Therefore, I want my internal system to benefit as well. I want to begin drinking clay but do not know the best brand. Do you recommend a specific clay brand? I am currently using Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay.
squamoza In my experience, and studies, charcoal isn't to be used for long term usage, but Betonite can be. I use a product by "Sonnes" and have used it for decades.
I suffer from Chronic urticaria for about 3 years. I have gotten my 2nd injection of Xolair and it has helped some. I also take Allegra, Zyrtec, Zantac and Singular daily regiment. Do you think Bentonite Clay could help?
@L Wil I don't see any questions. There's one from a guy who wants to know if drinking Bentonite clay will help pass a drug test. I doubt that a Naturapath who gives of his free time helping people to have a healthy lifestyle would answer that question.
L Wil Is he supposed to stay glued to a phone or computer to answer questions from every video he’s ever posted. He gave us some information, now we, as adults, can use our brains and facilities to gather more information to answer our own questions.
@@missnurseeri Agreed! Perfect answer 💡 Plus, he has an Instagram account and a free website where he answers tons of questions. I've written his website and always get an answer to appropriate questions about foods, supplements etc...

You are a WEALTH of information. I truly praise God for the knowledge you are sharing for people like me! I cannot say thank you enough!!!!!!
Lana Belton he exercise common sense ,no God needed
Rain G. 😧😒
Never understand people who are so bothered by faith. You all are as bad as homophobes.
Thank God he is sharing this info because it's not "common sense", nor common knowledge. Otherwise you wouldn't be here either.
Rain G. LOL Dr. Josh is a Christian, he mentions and references the Bible, God, Jesus, you get the point. Quit being childish and hateful.
Lana Belton ..... He has some knowledge but he does give out a lot of "wrong information" calcium bentonite clay is not something that you would take as a "nutritional supplement" it actually pulls, not only heavy metals out of your system and toxins out of your system it depletes the minerals in your body so you must be taking a quality mineral supplement well before you take the calcium bentonite clay or at least two hours afterward not at the same time because the calcium bentonite clay will pull that out of your system I've taken this product many many many many times over the years and I find that it really pulls out minerals and that about 2 hours after I drink the drink my I start to "shake" because I'm so mineral depleted from taking this supplement Dr.Axe does not always give out the right information but a lot of it is accurate so everybody that watches these has to know that he's not exactly "right on" but he is ••somewhat right on in his videos
Where do you buy this?
Dr. Axe in one of your facebook lives you said that we should take this clay only for a limited time( like 3 weeks), in this video you make me understand that we should consume it in a regular basis. Please clarify this issue. Thank you so much!!
too bad there was no response to this....
I'd like to know as well ..
Same here. It would be great for some clarification.
I believe he is saying you can take 1 tspn daily long term, anything more you should limit the amount.
@kenaharris2994 where do you buy the bentonite clay
I started to use bentonite clay back in Jan 2024. My three bottom teeth have been slightly loose for about 20 years. I've had to be careful what I eat. I notice it especially when I floss. Since using the clay about two months ago I noticed those teeth are not loose any more!!! My complextion is so much better as well doing the mask! I even use it on my hair. GAMECHANGER!!!
How did you use it on teeth? Did you mix it with something or just dry? Also, what brand?
@@mrsrhodes9736 I did not use it ON my teeth. I drank it. I used a brand called Mojave Pure. I bought it off of Amazon. It is an all natural Calcium Bentonite Clay, a food grade kind that can be taken internally.
@@mrsrhodes9736 I didn't use it ON my teeth. I used a brand called Majave Pure.
@@mrsrhodes9736 I've replied twice with a brand and how I used it. Obviously they have deleted it. Sorry!!!
Thank you for refreshing my memory of the amazing benefits of bentonite clay. As I was unpacking boxes from about 3 years ago that were in storage I found a jar of edible bentonite clay. I have it on my face now and am going to have some before I go to bed.
Oh?
My body automatically crave for it and I have been using it for 4 years and I can't be without it.
just used the bentonite on my face and saw results right after I washed my face. Glowing skin... also have it sitting in my hair right now, hope I see good results there as well.
Nida Jay hi
Any results with your hair
I use it on my hair all the time. Its excellent!
Thanks for this, I was watching a nature program where animals would eat clay as part of their diet, clearly they know something we are only now understanding.
I live in a rural area there are places in the woods that have clay in the ground you can tell game will lick the clay in those places
Thank you Dr. Axe for yet another helpful lesson. I want to also thank you for your amazingly wonderful website. The information is seemingly endless, and free to anyone who wants to learn. You're just the VERY BEST --- and we love you for it!

Great topic! Would also like to see something on activated charcoal. Thank you!
Since I've been using it I noticed increased energy, less hot flashes and less body odor during the hot flash , I don't use a scale at home so I don't know my weight but I think it is making me lose inches because my pants are looser, yet I've been exercising less.
WOW!!!!
🎉❤❤❤❤😊
I also feel better and I have lost 2 pounds this last week. Only been using for two weeks.
Hi
I received my order like an hour ago and I must say I am very pleased! I ordered 1/2 lb of your sour dirt and you sent a sample of Guadeloupe. I loved them both😊 Both of them has that sour tinge that I adore and the Guadeloupe has a very rich earthy flavor but what I love the most is the crunchiness of the small pieces inside of it. The colors inside of the sour dirt pieces are so beautiful. Your service was fast and friendly....I give you an A+😊 Thank you Marquessa and I will definitely be ordering from you again!

I make my own soaps and i always add bentonite clay to the mix. Not sure if there any benefits to it but it makes my bars of soaps way smoother
Can you share the ingredients and directions for making 🧼
My cousins grew up in rural South Carolina and they would dig up red clay eat bits of it
I see many many soapers ( I was "almost" guilty myself) use bentonite clay in their hand made soaps because of its benefits, BUT a stick blender is used ( metal). I've researched and found it looses most of its toxin/oil pulling benefits once it's wet and comes in contact with metals.
i'd love to know if here is any scientific evidence to back claims like this up or if it's just an old wives tale. i've heard people also say clay has electrical charges and is magnetic etc as well (i held a magnet over mine and nothing happened) Not rubbishing what you said or anything but i'm a curious person and like science experiments that prove things by testing and measuring them in controlled environments.
@@ImTash I’m not sure scientifically how true it is but I will say from experience it has to be true. The last time (before tonight) I used the clay, I accidentally stirred it with a metal spoon when I mixed it and I didn’t feel really anything happen over 15-30 minutes. I actually followed the directions tonight and mixed it with a plastic spoon and my face was pulsing so hard I couldn’t let it sit longer than 12 minutes! I definitely felt a MAJOR difference and that was the only thing I had done differently between the two uses!
@@jerrikamayberry8468 thats wild!
@@jerrikamayberry8468 I used the mask for the first time tonight, and I had the same experience. Couldn't go the whole 20 min. Ive been using it in homemade deodorant, as well as for tooth powder and it has worked really well for that. I'm nervous about ingesting it, as I am with anything new that I haven't tried, but plan to do that next. Maybe I will start with a smaller amount, though.
@@jerrikamayberry8468 Dr Dray, the Dermatologist said, not to leave more than 10 minutes in the face but you can leave 20 minutes on you back.
I had been using it for the arthritis in my foot which now has better mobility then the good one. But I didn't know you could take it internally, thanks for the info
I have begun to consume calcium bentonite in the morning and evening, 1/2 Tbs mixed with one cup of water as a means to assist with detox for heavy metals. I am also taking 1 tsp of turmeric mixed with 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbs lemon juice, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp stevia. My question is what are the contraindications of taking the calcium bentonite so close in time to the turmeric? What do you recommend? Currently, I take the calcium bentonite upon waking, wait about 30 minutes and then take the turmeric tonic. I take the second dose of calcium bentonite right before going to bed. Another question is if there are contraindications with magnesium therolate as I take that before going to bed too - could the clay interfere with its absorption? Thanks in advance.
You should not get clay from India due to the issues for lead, but it is about what brand and don't go cheap. I buy the liquid through vitamin shoppe that is already filtered and doesn't require any mixing.
liquid what???
Dr. Axe, Great videos! I looked at the ingredients on -Calcium bentonite- It includes- Silica 61.4% Aluminum 18%
Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Titanium, Potassium. What is your opinion on aluminum.. is this safe to eat -Bentonite, especially with aluminum content!
What do you think of Rhassoul Clay!
I would drink it at night. After almost 3 weeks of drinking it I woke up one night with my teeth chattering and I had chills and was shivering. It really works....
Wtf
@@bonnieupton4114 Those are symtoms of your body detoxing
What do you mean by teeth shattering ?
@@Peace-on-earth771 I mean when your freezing and your whole body is shivering and your teeth start to chatter. That happened starting the third week. That means there must've been heavy metals or dead parasites, or something really nasty in my system and my body was getting rid of it.
Instead of water use apple cider vinegar in a glass or ceramic, use plastic or ceramic spoon not any metallic!
wooden spoon 😊
Hi, Dr. Axe. Thank you for your video! I am interested in taking Bentonite Clay with Psyllium to do a cleanse. Do you have thoughts about this? Thank you!
What is the difference between the calcium and sodium bentonite clay ? Can you use both ?
I’ve read that you should take the calcium , because it has more healing effects.
LOL, when i was a kid i pulled carrots out of the garden and eat them with dirt still on them!
Me too, at my grandmas house sat there eating them, also ate little scrapes of tiny bricks, rocks and sand at the beach.
I miss those days, munching in the garden.
Couldn’t do that now otherwise you’d probably be poisoned by pesticides (and/or synthetic fertilisers). Just ask the pollinators which are nearing extinction. Thanks to the petroleum industry and capitalism/fascism 🖕
Wow you look like Benny Hinn
@@ObjectiveAnalysis Capitalism and fascism are not the same. One is an economic system and the other is method of achieving things.
Which one is better to take internally for detox calcium or sodium bentonite?
Calcium comes in many forms, and is an essential cell salt. Bentonite is an aluminosilicate, silicate a cellsalt, and aluminum a poison.
Very good advice. I've been using clay for years both externally and internally.
What happens when you take it internAlly? I heard someone say it gave them uncomfortable cramps.
+The Kelsey Experience I just did it today. if will give you a mild headache because it's pulling the toxins. It's amazing. feel great later
+I Smell Fresh Cash thank you! :)
***** Make sure you drink plenty of water through out day. You'll feel a tad dehydrated nothing crazy. Just to cover yourself. You're welcome. :)
williad11 hi just wanted to know the edible clay iirs grayish in color good for eating as well
Is it safe to take bentonite clay for an extended period of time? If not, for how long can you take it for?
“Women” ? I’m a man and men use clay masks also
Ian....of course you can....with masculinity firmly intact!
There is literally nothing wrong with guys taking care of their skin , I encourage it , I wish it was praised more 😥
Thank you! Let em know!
o_O
Yes! It makes my husband's skin look incredible
I just use the clay on my face,arms, and neck, then showered and I was amazed how my skin looks just by applying it one time.
I've been driving bentonite clay for almost a week, and it's actually helped me sleep "throughout" the night, though it doesn't help me fall 😴 asleep. :) just sharing.
Interesting. I know of 2 people who take the bentonite clay at bedtime and they have noticed the same thing.
You must have been super low on iron
probably a result of the calcium/magnesium content.
I have read that frankincense oil is great for sleeping.. diffuse it
This video is so informative and I'm so excited to try ingesting bentonite clay! Although I've heard someone talking about bentonite clay possibly leaching off nutrients from the body if too much bentonite clay is taken. If you have any answers to this it would be really helpful! Again, thanks for the video!
I’ve read that too. But , I tried not taking any supplements with it & I had no energy .I personally was taking the Magnesium Glycate , Viatamin D3 w/ K2 , & fish oil tablets while I was taking it for a detox.
I cut all sugar out of my diet & drank lots of water to avoid getting dehydrated. I added Kombucha to my diet occasionally, although Kimchi & sourkraut have the same effects.
Ate a banana for breakfast, skipped lunch & ate salad with spinach, fresh unsalted natural state cashews , blueberries, avacado , tomato’s, mushrooms , ground flax seed & a salad vinegrette dressing that had no sugar added w/ small pieces of meat ( skirt steak is great ) for dinner.
Because your diet is an important part of the detox.
What about the amount of aluminum or lead found in these clay's, how would a person detox from that? That is the only thing that worries me.
I agree with you.. the company best bentonite has some issues with lead. You can research it online the FDA said not to take that product because of the high lead content.
Go with food grade zeolite powder instead. Maybe food grade bentonite clay exists and is tested for toxin levels?
What about Redmonds Clay? I hear excellent things about it.
Great info. Can one take enzymes and probiotics while taking clay? Take an hour or so before or after? Does clay remove parasites? Thank you for the great info.
There are probiotics in bentonite clay. But , I’ve seen several dr’s say you should double / triple up on taking probiotics while you are on Bentonite clay.
I stopped taking all other vitamins & just ate healthy & removed all sugar from my diet.
Great Video Josh! Can I mix B.Clay with Zeolite and Diatomaceous Earth together in one water drink before bed?
Hello Dr. Axe I was wondering what would be the safest and most effective bentonite clay to injest especially with the statement mentioning about "lead" caution.
Not just women my husband loves clay mask we have our facial days together. Lol
You can add a comment but what I want to say is I started brushing my teeth with this
Just subscribed and look forward to following your programs. The docs don't even talk about this product with us. Must be they know how well it works. Appreciate your clear delivery of content.
Thanks for this valuable information Dr. Axe. Good thing I ordered a pound of Bentonite 3 days ago! You're videos really have helped a lot.
Hello! I have a question is Food Grade sodium bentonite or Food grade calcium bentonite?
For how long should you take internally? Is there a minimum and/or maximum time?
I use bentonite clay as a face mask after a run out in the heat. Seems town work great after I open the pores and get the blood flowing like that.
You had me at “anti-aging”. 🤣
That's why I almost never use makeup. The only makeup I use is vegan, cruelty free and based on clays, minerals and plants with no artificial ingredients in them. I make my own face creams.
Dr. how many ounces of water to the one teaspoon of clay? How can I use the clay for inflammation? I suffer from Rheumatoid and Fibro.
Watch Heal your gut guy, he makes a video drinking it. I have fibro too and will start the clay.

Is it completely safe to take bentonite clay for detoxing? Side effects?
Great presentation!! Informative, concise, great enthusiasm. So glad I clicked on your channel! THANK YOU!
Will start my detox with bentonite clay tomorrow. Thank you!
I drink bentonite clay. I love it.
Thank you for being very descriptive in your explanation on how much and why and what it does. Not a quick 1-1.5minute video that leaves us with questions being unanswered! 😊 Do have question - will taking it produce cramps, upset stomach, increased bowel/diareah until body get used if it.. I realize everyone is different. Thank you!
I had huge clay cravings when I was pregnant.

Is it safe to take it while pregnant?
thank you Dr yet again you have proven your love for people this deed is not unnoticed
blessings of God on you Dr
I appreciate the information. I recommend integrating or inserting text on the screen or and possibly a few photos at different points to reinforce the information and make it more interesting.
Does any brand of bentonitr clay work and does it treat stretch marks?
I've been learning about bentonite clay in the past 2 days. Your explanation is the best out there. Now I have a question about ingesting the clay: can you mix it with juice instead of water for drinking? Thanks for your help. Blessings.
Late reply, they say lemon juice with bentonite clay is a perfect combination.
Water please
You can mix it into anything - by mow you might know a lot about it - you can look at my comments to others on this channel on clay
@@able880where do you buy the clay
Happy New Year Dr wish you all the best thank you thank you regards from Australia love your videos because it keep in touch thanks a lot
Make sure you get food grade clay if your gonna swallow it.
Rez Nez
Yeah... he said that
How low will it drop your blood sugar and for how long?
this guy is brilliant ,,,thank you doc
Thank you Dr Axe. One should take 1 teaspoon for how long please?
Wash off vegetables after you pull them from the garden? I've never done that and people say I'm going to get sick lol. I haven't yet. It's just dirt!!!
You must don't believe in parasites. Amoebe are nothing to play with. My family owned a farm and even I knew better.
I use bentonite clay as a mask for my face. Can I also use bentonite clay as a daily skin cleanser in place of soap for my entire body to remove dead skin cells at bathtime? Many soaps i have allergic reactions to so I only use glycerine based soaps, which are hard to find without additives and fragrances. Also because of allergic reactions to lotions, I use coconut oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba or avocado oils as a daily skin moisturizers.
How about calcium stones? Someone also said it helped them with a recluse spider bite. Any thoughts on those two things? Thanks! :)
In use it for it for spider bites it's worked well for me over the yrs - i just moisten the clay and put on the bite and bandage it - I leave it for a few days and don't disturb the bandage - about two months ago I was bit on the knee by a black widow ,it itched for a few days but then stopped - I removed the bandage - the wound dried up and healed over fine -
Hi! Thank you for this video! For how long should a detox with clay be done? 1 week? 1 month? Thank you!
In would guess all your life see my other comments I made on this channel - clay absorbs 1000 times it's weight in toxins is what I have read
Dr. Axe, I appreciate your video thank you for this information. Can you clarify on sodium and calcium bentonite clay for ingestion and external uses please? I have sodium bentonite by "Now" brand it doesn't say which it is, but says for external use only. So I assume this is sodium bentonite and not able to be used internally but you don't mention it in your video. Just want to be sure and safe, thank you for your time.
Did you find witch one?
You have to use food grade for anything you digest, be it bentonite clay or diatomaceous earth =)
Believe it’s the food grade the one with calcium
It's Food grade bentonite clay calcium
Sodium Bentonite clay is great for your detox baths and face although calcium is great for the face too .
Dr. Axe is the Bentonite Indian healing clay brand ok to use both internally and externally? Thanks!
DO NOT MIX CLAY WITH METAL
I'd love recommendations of what brands of clays I can ingest.

Clay is great for the skin, but beware of drinking it if you have problems with kidneys or kidney stones.
... FYI .. Dairy Queen ice cream used to have a "proprietary recipe" for their ice-cream.. it would sooth upset stomach .. make you feel good .. but they changed it when rumors and bad "PR" circulated that they were adding "DIRT" .. if you want a GOOD ice-cream .. make your own w/ whole milk/ cream and bentonite clay for the creamiest/ best ... since the old DQ ..

Love this!! Can you drink it while being pregnant?
Thank you for this information. Periodically, I have been applying Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay to my face and have reaped the benefits. Therefore, I want my internal system to benefit as well. I want to begin drinking clay but do not know the best brand. Do you recommend a specific clay brand? I am currently using Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay.
Did that not burn your face where did u buy it
When I was 6 years old, at my uncles farm, I wondered, why, cattle love leaking clay,from the river bank,,,THAT was the reason,,,nature’s wisdom

Hi Dr Josh. I have been taking one teaspoon of charcoal for a while. Do you think Clay is better? I hope you answer me. Thanks
squamoza In my experience, and studies, charcoal isn't to be used for long term usage, but Betonite can be. I use a product by "Sonnes" and have used it for decades.
Hi dr axe... Can the Aztec Indian Healing Clay be used to take internally also??
Nicole Kemp no
i think u can. its calcium bentonite. ive read that was the kind to use. but hey.. do whats best for u
I think is for external use only
Nicole Kemp no it says on my box that it's for external use only
i think they say that due to liability issues.....they offer good prices because they don't have to jump through as many hoops...
