I want to report this for anybody who might be interested... Over the last year or two I have learned about some of the medicinal uses of clay from Jason's messages here. This week we had a chance to put that learning into practice once again.
Rosie was helping with dinner prep and was scraping the insides of a cooked spaghetti squash out of its skin. A sizable "blop" of squash innards landed on the inside of her wrist, causing an extremely painful burn. She put it on ice while we sat down to dinner. Afterwards she asked me to put some clay on it. I had had a mason jar with some hydrated clay in it, but it had dried out a little bit. Even still, it sprang back after adding a few drops of water and stirring lightly. I spread a nice thick layer over the burned area, which was red and still hurting a lot, but had not yet blistered. She wrapped it in gauze and kept that moist by spritzing on some CS. After a few hours she pulled off the compress and re-dressed the injury with more CS moistened gauze. (No clay at this point.) Already, the pain was nearly gone and there was only a very *small* area with a couple of blisters at one edge of the wound that I didn't get as much clay on as the rest. The rest of the area was slightly tender, but not painful at all. The next day she dispensed with any dressings at all, as they weren't necessary. We're talking about a burn that would have been a couple square inches of blister if it had not been treated promptly and well. The fact that only the small area that blistered had not received an adequately thick application of clay gives us a bit of a basis for comparison. Now, a few days later, the rest of it is quite far along in healing, and only the small area that blistered is behaving as you'd normally expect of such a burn. Thanks Jason! It's good to have this treatment protocol in our bag of tricks. Be well, Mike D.
