Essence.
The worthy sage Galen says: “Of the clays we use that which is called the “Star of Samos.” I will say: people believe that it is talc, but regarding talc, researchers indicate that it is found in the country of the Ionians, on the island of Cyprus.”
Actions and properties.
Samian clay, according to Galen, is similar to printed clay in regard to retaining blood and in other things. Samos clay is more airy than printed clay and helps with breast tumors; therefore it is lighter than her, and even very light. It is also more viscous and more viscous than printed clay, but printed clay is stronger than it.
Nature.
This clay is thick, viscous, sticky, and does not require washing. It is slightly cooling and very calming.
Tumors and acne.
It inhibits tumor formation more initially than other clays, and once soaked, it does not have the rough feel that printing clay does.
Wounds and ulcers.
Because of its great ductility, it is less useful for ulcers from fire burns than printing clay.
Tools with joints.
Lubricating with Samian clay helps in the onset of gout.
Organs of the head.
Samos clay is useful for tumors behind the ears.
Eruption organs.
