Clay has a variety of effects, but the prominent function is to drain toxins. In other words, detox. The reason is the basic structure of clay. Clay has a molecular structure that resembles several layers of paper. Therefore, in terms of surface area, even a small amount of clay has a very large surface area. For example, 1g of clay has a molecular surface area of 800㎡. In addition, the surface of the molecule bears negative electrons. Since waste products and toxins have positive electrons, the positive and negative forces of attraction have a strong detox effect.

In addition, most clays contain minerals that promote nerve function, improve blood flow, and activate skin cells. It is also ideal for removing oxidized sebum that remains on the skin for a long time and keratotic plugs that tend to clog the nose.

Clay contains trace minerals. Trace minerals help our bodies function properly. For example, a lack of iron can lead to anemia, weakness, and loss of appetite. The difficulty is that iron deficiency cannot be resolved by simply taking iron supplements or by increasing the amount of iron in the diet. In order to absorb iron, copper, vitamin C, protein, etc. are necessary. Without these, iron will not be absorbed. Gastric acid also plays an important role in iron absorption. It is important to incorporate sourness, fruit vinegar (lemon, kabosu, etc.), spices, and aromatic vegetables into cooking to promote the secretion of gastric acid, but it is very difficult to ingest them while maintaining the balance created by nature. That's what it means. All minerals and nutrients are kept in balance with each other. Like a chain link, even if one is missing, this chain link will not form a loop.
