The problem with the dirt in our area is that it is doused with chemicals (weed killers, pesticides). While driving I often see city workers spraying the green "stuff" all over the desert landscaping, at the school, in our neighborhood etc... When my kids bring home the "pretty green rocks" I just about flip my lid!

So, the dirt here isn't going to help us with anything.. it's TOXIC. (We are in Arizona.)

Leave it to the allopathic model to try to isolate, patent, and manufacture a single element instead of taking it on as nature intended (which one can't patent - yet). Money, not health, seems to be the driving intention here.

Hmmm - last week or so it was the antibacterial honey 'Manuka'.....

Maybe they will look at the best of both world and bring out "dirty honey"!

Exposure to dirt can be good for you. Perhaps the western world is too obsessed with cleanliness.

So mud baths are good for your insides as well as your outsides, sounds like a promising advertising campaign for spas.
