Buy the loose powder in larger quantities direct from a supplier as it is more economical this way. Mix with water into a paste, put on painful stiff joints and leave  for approximately 20 to 30 minutes to penetrate the skin. Once the clay has been used, discard afterward. Remove as much of the clay as possible before having a shower – other wise the clay could block the drains.

Once you have covered the painful area/s with the clay, cover with a piece of plastic, then place a small heated pad over the plastic and clay, or a hot water bottle or a grain pillow that is heated in the microwave.
