HEALTH BENEFITS OF VOLCANIC ASH
The
Sulphur in Volcanic Ash is a proven, safe, age-old
remedy that has been used to treat every conceivable
skin irritation and infection.
Sulphur
is also FDA-approved for the treatment of acne.

Volcanic ash has been used for centuries
by the native Melanesians and Polynesians for the treatment
of a wide variety of infections due to its anti-bacterial,
anti-viral, anti-yeast and overall disinfectant qualities.
The ash is high in Sulphur, an active Mineral ingredient
which not only helps the body to resist bacteria but actually
destroy it. Sulphur exists in your haemoglobin and connective
body tissue: -
Sulphur slows down the aging process because of its ability
to protect against the toxic effects of pollution and radiation.
It is part of the chemical structure of the amino acids glutathione,
taurine, cysteine,
and methionine.

Volcanic
ash particles are finely crushed and may be as small as
1/1,000th of an inch (or 0.025mm). The ash does not dissolve
in water and so makes for a fantastic, mild exfoliant. We
also use volcanic ash in our foot scrubs and body scrubs
because of its purification and cleaning qualities.
However, volcanic
ash mixed into the earth will bond to water, under pressure.
Pure ash, mixed with spring or mineral water, is used to
create mud baths (like in a spa) and facial mud masks.

NOTE:
While
Volcanic Ash can be very benefical for your skin, it is important
to realize that where you have an erupting volcano, the plumes of
volcanic ash cloud can cause extensive damage even if you live quite
a long distance away. Combined with water, this ash turns to mud
and often results in mud slides and the consequent loss of life
and property.
If
you live anywhere near an active volcano, you may be susceptable
to the hazards of volcanic ash - anything from substantial interference
with the operations of mechanical devices or motors to collapsing
roofs due to the weight of falling ash.
