What is Glacial Marine Clay?
Glacial marine clay is the sediment left behind from the movement of glaciers over millions of years. As the glaciers advanced and receded a fine granite type material was released into the melted waters and eventually was deposited into saltwater lagoons. Natural ozone became trapped with this sediment and over the millennia natural sterilization took place. There it remained for millions of years. As the glaciers receded and the pressure from the tremendous weight of the ice lessened, parts of the shoreline rose out of the sea, bringing with it the mineralized clay. Where the sediment had an overburden of rocks and earth the clay beds have remained protected from the elements until the native peoples of the area discovered its fantastic healing qualities.
