Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay

I am a faithful person...to family, friends, and products that work.  Aztec Secret is near the top of my Favorite Product list; I use it religiously each week as a face mask (and many other ways that I'll get into shortly) and have given it as gifts to friends.  This magical clay is a must-have in your medicine cabinet! 

What is it?  

Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay is bentonite clay from Death Valley, California, that is sun-dried for up to six months in temperatures that sometimes reach 134 degrees.  The unique structure of the molecules in Aztec Secret carry a negative electron charge. This comes from the valance electron count from the specific minerals found in the clay. When a spectographic analysis is done on Aztec Secret, almost every mineral found on Earth is present. 

When a facial or clay poultice is applied to the skin it forms a negative charge. Poisons and toxins stored in the epidermis have a positive charge - Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay lifts the pimple and blackheads into the clay bed to cause accelerated healing and nourishment to the skin with over 50 minerals.  It is 100% natural!  

How is it used?  

Aztec Secret is great when mixed with equal parts water, but to take full advantage of it's abilities, I suggest mixing it with equal parts Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.  (Fun fact: the use of clay with apple cider vinegar can be dated back to the southern French priest of the16th century, Kneipp, and his natural treatments using clay packs and poultices.)

The mask is best mixed in a ceramic, wooden, or glass bowel with a non-metal spoon - something about ions...not sure if it's true, but to be safe, I follow the instructions.  Next, apply the mixture with a brush (I keep one in my cabinet specifically for facial masks) and then set a timer for 20-30 minutes, during which time you'll learn why the back of the packaging says FEEL YOUR FACE PULSATE!

You'll notice some reddening on your face after using warm water and a washcloth to remove the mask which is normal and will dissipate after 30 minutes.  This is a great time to followup with your favorite serum or treatment as the mask will have deep-cleaned your skin, allowing the product to efficiently soak in.  

Are there any other uses?

Aztec Secret + Bragg ACV is a great combination to apply to bug bites as it pulls out the toxins, and I apply it to the bottoms of my feet once a month for a deep detox.  Aztec Secret is also a key ingredient in my DIY Deodorant.  

Other uses listed on the Aztec Secret website include: 

• Antioxidant Mask - Mix equal parts of Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay with brewed green tea and 500 mg. of Vitamin C with bioflavonoids (open up a capsule). Apply to skin, allow to dry and rinse. *Green Tea is currently being studied for its antioxidant, antibacterial, and cancer killing properties.
• Foot Facial - Mix equal parts of Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay with brewed Pau d'Arco Tea and 5 drops of Tea Tree Oil. Apply to feet, especially in between the toes, let dry 30 minutes and rinse well in warm water.
• Honey Mask - Mix equal parts Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay with apple cider vinegar, add 1 tablespoon raw honey. Apply to skin, allow to dry10 minutes and rinse with warm water. This mask is similar to a mask used by Cleopatra in her beauty ritual.
• Body Pack - Mix one pound Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay with one pint of apple cider vinegar. Apply a thin coat of the mixture to the body and allow to dry 15-20 minutes. Rinse well in the shower. One pound will do 2 people - HAVE FUN!  (That's a direct quote from the website!)

Giving this bizarre little wonder a try won't set you back much; a pound of the clay is less than $10 on Amazon.  But you might want to order an extra or two to give to friends because once you see how fantastic this stuff is you won't be able to help but share the Aztec Secret!
