Nature.
All clays are cold.
Actions and properties.
Dries, cleans. Clay, free from impurities, taken from the sunny earth, dries the loose body without burning due to its adhesive properties. If baked clay is not mixed with it, such as shards and sun-baked parts of the blower, it also has a resolving power. But if the clay is washed again, it becomes drying, moderate in heat and cold, and thin.
Cosmetics.
The clay strengthens the fluffy meat.
Tumors and acne.
Clay with wax ointment is used to lubricate “pigs” and hardenings.
Nutritional organs.
Clay from the earth exposed to the sun is applied to patients with dropsy and those suffering from hardening of the spleen, and they receive obvious relief. Clay often cures dropsy of meat.
