Bentonite clay was introduced to me about two years ago through reading about Earth food based nutrition. It is widely known for its ability to cleanse, absorb and remove toxins from the body, all because of its negatively charged molecules. As it passes through the intestinal tract, the negatively charged molecules absorb the toxic molecules which are positively charged. This makes it very effective in treating constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. It has been known as a "healing clay" for centuries and has recently gained momentum in the U.S. as an aid in detox programs. The clay is also used to clarify liquor, beer, cider and wine. Not only is it beneficial internally, it has several external uses as well. You can mix in water to drink or apply to the skin as a mask. The face mask is glorious (I'll discuss in another article.) Here are some other benefits below.

There's so much to say about this wonderful plant! It's a very short stemmed succulent that has been used in ancient medicines since the first century A.D. One of the biggest benefits to this herb is that it is a vitamin booster for whatever you apply it to. It contains large amounts of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, and well as minerals calcium, iron, potassium, and several others making it a necessity for glowing skin. This article could go on for days, so I'll explain how I have used it, then give an exhaustive list of the benefits. The skin is the largest organ on the body and one of the fastest absorption methods, so I have used Aloe Vera topically. Right after a shower, I apply it immediately after rubbing on the Witch Hazel, then applying a moisturizer. However, after doing some research, I would like to try taking Aloe Vera internally through supplements, because it is known to do wonders for digestion. Below is a list of the other benefits.
