How to Use Diatomaceous Earth for Healthy Hair, Nails, & Skin

Food grade diatomaceous earth enhances hair, nail, and skin health.

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is filled with the fossilized remains of ancient phytoplankton called diatoms. These creates are a rich source of silica. As a building block for collagen, this mineral is an essential component of the human body's structure, especially bones, teeth, skin, tendons, blood vessels, nails, and hair. 

Silica is well respected for its ability to enrich hair and clear skin and is added to a vast amount of beauty and cosmetic products! It is also taken internally to provide the system DE is the cheapest and easiest to use silica supplement we have found. 

How to Use Diatomaceous Earth for Healthy Hair, Nails, & Skin

Hair Loss

Thinning hair may indicate a silica deficieny. The human body naturally sheds hair, and naturally regrows about the same amount it loses each day. However, it grows drastically less if the system is silica deficient. If you experience thinning hair, it may be that you are losing more than you regrow each day, and silica supplementation may reverse your condition.

Try mixing 1 teaspoon food grade diatomaceous earth into water or juice and drinking it first thing in the morning.

Lackluster Hair or Weak Nails

Again, silica deficiency may be the cause of your less-than-shampoo-commercial hair and/or weak nails, and taking food grade DE internally could remedy that.

Try drinking 1 teaspoon food grade DE thoroughly mixed in water or juice in the mornings. You may work your way up to 1 to 2 tablespoons a day.

Skin Conditions

Silica is vital to healthy connective tissue, which is the key to skin that resists wrinkles. For young, supple skin, you can encourage your body's collagen production by supplementing with the silica in food grade DE. Again, you can drink 1 teaspoon food grade DE in juice or water to start your day, and may take up to 1 to 2 tablespoons.

For irritations, acne, and blemishes, you can make an easy mask by mixing food grade DE with a little clean water. Smear it on the skin, allow to dry, and wash off with clean water. You can add coconut oil or essential oils like lavender or geranium for a more luxurious cleanser. 

A note: only FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth is safe for consumption, as it has a relatively low crystalline silica content. Pest control grade or filter grade DE products are not meant for internal use.
