Sarah was asked whether the clay could help with chicken pox and advised the customer as follows: “Use clay baths to stop the general itching and local packing on any spots that have been scratched open. Use about ¾ cup clay to 1 bath. Pack spots for around 2 hours each time. You can use plastic food wrap to hold in place or use a tissue with sticky plaster.”

We received the following feedback a couple of weeks later: “Hi Sarah, a belated thanks for your guidance on the chickenpox. My son ended up developing them too, and the clay was really useful 🙂 ”
