|
| Natural zeolites are not only good for animals, humans too can benefit
from their special properties. Micronized calcium magnesium clinoptilolite can be used
as a dietary supplement for humans and is a powerful detoxifying agent.
It adsorbs heavy metals by ion exchange, releasing calcium and magnesium
which are essential minerals. It can also adsorb toxins such as alcohol from the
body, and in Cuba zeolite is used to treat diarrhea. |
|
| Also in Cuba, mineworkers noticed that zeolite helped to quickly heal small cuts and abrasions
to the skin. Other reports suggest that zeolite can help skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema,
although these effects have not been fully studied as yet. |
|
| Zeolites are used in many personal care and feminine hygiene products as a natural
moisture and odour absorbent. They do not harm the environment when they are disposed of, unlike
some of the synthetic alternatives which are used. |
|
| Another application of micronized zeolite is in foot care. Zeolite absorbs perspiration
and odours and can be used directly on the feet, and in shoes to keep them odour free. Zeolite
is also a highly effective cure for athlete's foot. |
|
| Most healthcare and medicinal applications of zeolites require further studies to fully
understand how they work, but it is clear that zeolites have many potential uses in this field.
There are even studies which suggest that zeolites may be able to treat certain types of cancer,
and further work is being done in this area. |
