• CELLULITE: Recommended clays: red clay or green illite. External use: Prepare the clay paste with warm spring water. Apply a thick clay layer on the affected areas. Wrap the area(s) in a cotton clothe or bandage. Leave it on for about 2 hours (don't let the clay dry on your skin). Once it's time to remove the clay, the clay detaches itself on its own. Take a shower to rinse it off. Use a wood spatula to apply and remove the clay. Do the applications 2-3 times a week for 4 weeks. You can repeat the cure several times during the year.

Other tips: Finish your showers with cold water on the affected area. It's excellent to stimulate the blood circulation. Other tips: Don't forget that cellulite is an inflammation of adipocytes (cells that store fats) that is caused by toxins that the body cannot eliminate.

Wait at least one hour after you drink the clay OR take your clay in the morning and the probiotics in the evening.

• CONSTIPATION: See general recommendations in the COLON section. Recommended clay: green illite Alternate clay: montmorillonite. 21-day internal clay cure. Also follow directions for the diet: Make sure that you significantly increase your intake of fibers (fiber-rich foods like vegetable and/or food suplements) to insure at least one bowel movement per day. Any internal intake of clay will trigger a light to constipation or accentuate it if already present. Most people and litterature report a major improvement of the bowel movements after few days or few weeks of clay intake (depending on the seriousness of the constipation). The clay repairs and rebalances the intestinal wall, which improves the bowel movements. Tips: repeat the 21-day clay cure several times during the year for long term results and maintenance along with a diet rich in vegetables and fresh foods.
