HEALTH BENEFITS OF VOLCANIC ASH

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: -

• to disinfect the blood;

• stimulate bile secretion;

• aid the oxidation reactions in the body

• protect the protoplasm of cells; and

• for the synthesis of Collagen (one of the main proteins needed for the structural integrity of your skin).

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.

Sulphur is also FDA-approved for the treatment of acne.
