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 skin care 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.
Volcanic 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.
