As I was chasing through your earlier thread to find honey mask after the red clay one (btw I couldn�t find it) I�ve found Tecumseh words and just had a feeling they should be repeated - they are so strong. I guess I�ll never stop being impressed with Natives wisdom. And angry when I see how much we are mystificated about them. I feel it as a great injustice that I could yell.
You couldn't find the clay, or the honey one..? The honey one was just posted in this thread awhile back.. The list of earlier natural remedies are on page 1 of the first thread.. (fourth post)

Here's the clay remedy:
(Skin Reactions: Rashes; Hives; Itching; Etc.)
A PASTE MADE FROM THE MUD OF RED CLAY
You can get relief from almost any skin problem and chemical
reaction, with the use of red clay. It is sometimes a hard source
to find, but when you do… be thankful. Mixing the clay with
water produces a creamy, thick paste that is easily applied to the
skin. Unlike many medicines, this can be applied to almost every
external part of the body. The relief is often immediate. Try to
leave it on the skin for at least one hour, before washing off. The
clay absorbs irritants; toxins, poisons; infection and many other
things. It can also relieve pain from burns, cuts, sprains and stings.
Clay was often used as a sunscreen in many indigenous cultures,
and often mistaken for unusual body painting, by many.
Some ladies might also be interested to know that red clay “masks”
were used by many Mesopotamian & Egyptian women, as a means
to tighten sagging skin areas, and to remove unwanted blemishes.
Hope this helps...
