Born of the ancient Hawaiian soil, purified by a sacred spring for thousands of years, vitalized by the tropical sun, this Hawaiian Red Clay comes to you from a private deposit hidden in the jungles of Maui.

Alaea is the Hawaiian name for red clay. Long ago Hawaiians used this natural remedy to heal their wounds and to purify their bodies. Today mineral rich clays are used in spas and are the beauty secret of people all over the the world. This red clay gains its ochre luster from the abundance of iron and other minerals.

Healing clays and medicinal minerals have been used by people worldwide to detoxify, heal and promote health. Native Americans called these medicinal minerals Ee-Wah-Kee, or the mud that heals, Ancient Egyptians called it Pteen and the Hawaiians called it Alaea. Hawaiians used the sacred red clay as a dye in purification ceremonies (hi’uwai), and as a way to heal broken bones and remove poisons thru the skin,  It was even eaten as a nutrient supplement. Today, Pelotherapy (or healing using earth, clays, and muds) is an accepted practice at spas and wellness centers to promote physical health, enhance healing, remove toxins and to produce glowing external beauty.

Our Living Clay is formed from an ancient volcanic ash deposit high in phosphorus, iron, calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals.  It is found deep in the rainforest of Maui Hawaii where it has been purified for thousands of years by sacred springs and the gentle rains of the islands.  It is guaranteed to be some of the purest and softest clay on the planet.  Living Clay is hand harvested by community-minded individuals. It is then sun-dried in Maui near equatorial light and then stone ground and sifted by hand.  We present it with our blessings and hope you enjoy using it.
