Antibacterial clays might be coming soon to a hospital near you

Antibacterial clays are earning some respect as a legitimate medicinal tool. Like most people, I usually associate clay with spas... things like clay facials and relaxing body masks. But new research is uncovering powerful antibacterial properties in certain kinds of natural clay.

I'll warn you that this article gets pretty technical, but if you can wade through the chemistry terminology this information is pretty amazing. Certain clays are powerfully medicinal, while others have no effects at all or can even be harmful, depending on when and where the clay was formed. Soon we may see antibacterial clay being used to fight certain types of bacterial infections where traditional methods, like penicillin, are failing.
