(The following is from a lady who is in her eighties who was very prone to bruising and who has very fragile skin. When she came in to see me, a little dog had torn 3 large flaps of skin from her arm, but which were still attached. The area had significant dark purple bruising over the entire area which was about 20cm long and 10cm wide).

”I have had a great experience with clay recently.  I was clawed quite severely on my arm by an over enthusiastic little dog. It was a nasty deep wound and very sore.  Every night I treated it with a clay pack and bound it with Glad wrap, and repeated the process again in the morning.  After a week the improvement in the colour  of the wound (bruising) was very noticeable. After two weeks the wound was closing quite rapidly and a healthy scab had formed, which after three weeks had completely gone. This wound was really alarming, but I have no doubt the clay packs really did the healing”.

(In the elderly, wounds of this nature can be very problematic and can take months to heal. I was intrigued to note that the bruises that were outside the area Yvonne had packed were still there 3 weeks later, but the ones which had been exposed to the clay had gone. This experience has since been repeated with other clients of a similar age. 3 weeks after this testimoial was sent, Yvonne also told me a patch on her leg that looked like the start of an ulcer had gone with using the clay. It had been there for many months prior).
