This product is a 100% natural clay suitable for drinking. Argital green clay is a natural tonic that is cleansing, purifying, mineralizing, and balancing, as well as being great for anti-aging and toning as a result of its oligo elements and mineral salts. This product can be taken on a long-term basis, though most commonly it is taken for 2 months with a small break and then resumed again a short time later when it is felt necessary. This can be done on a seasonal basis; with a month in between, or just when a cleansing is felt needed. To use this product, take it first thing in the morning before breakfast in a glass of water. Mix 1 teaspoon of the Argital ventilated active green clay and stir it well, wait 5 minutes and then drink the clay that has formed on the surface of water, leaving any sediments that have gone to the bottom.
