For added benefit, just as you are ready to immerse yourself in tub, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil or therapeutic blend. Strained Muscle Pack: Prepare a thick clay/seaweed/water mixture, warm in a double boiler and apply to sore area. Cover with plastic or a moist towel. Rinse when dry. This mixture can also be applied to sore and overworked hands. Foot Soak: Add ½ ounce of clay to a gallon or two of hot water and relax with feet submerged for 15 to 20 minutes. Insect Stings: Mix a small amount of clay or seaweed into water to create a paste; apply to sting. Wash off after 30 minutes. Slippery Elm Powder is remarkably good for this also & should help remove stinger; splinters, too!
