Hydra Marine clay paste for horses

Hydra Marine clay paste for horses: remineralisation and convalescence

Hydra Marine clay paste is our horse clay enriched with minerals and trace elements of marine origin: a remineralising and moisturising effect on top of the bentonite base. The poultice for particular periods: a convalescent horse, a horse on rest or gradually returning to work — when the legs need gentle support.

Liquid marineminerals from concentrated seawater

Lithothamnion is a seaweed that grows on shallow seabeds. Highly remineralising thanks to its rich mineral content: sodium, potassium, calcium carbonate, phosphorus, magnesium and trace elements: iodine, iron, silicon, zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt, chromium, selenium, fluorine, bromine, boron, molybdenum, sulphur…

Field horsetail offers a wide range of benefits due to its high content of silica, minerals, vitamins and flavonoids. It also has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic action.

The remineralising properties of stinging nettle leaf come from its rich, balanced nutrient composition. In particular, it contains minerals (20% of its dry mass) and trace elements.

Bamboo is a plant very rich in minerals, trace elements and silica. It is used for its soothing, moisturising and remineralising properties.

Astragalus is a natural source of essential minerals and trace elements.

Water and clay, but not just any water and clay!

Bentonite clay and structured water: the base of our horse clay pastes

Made with bentonite clay, which we chose for its highly valued properties.

We have carefully selected the origin of our bentonite clay to guarantee you exemplary quality and purity of this exceptional material. Bentonite clay is a natural compound of 3 complementary clays: smectite, illite and kaolinite.

Structured, potentised water. It is extremely important to the effectiveness of our poultice, so we pay it the greatest attention. Our recipe uses water with a very particular structure, cleared of all electromagnetic charges, an essential factor in optimising the natural adsorption of bentonite clay.

This exclusive feature brings important advantages:

– Better hydration

– Better elimination of toxins

– Better transport of micronutrients to the cells

This water is an essential element in the effectiveness of our paste.

Our exclusive recipe, developed over a long time, lets us draw the very best from these two materials and obtain a paste with a silky texture and unrivalled effectiveness.

Absorption, adsorption, astringency: how bentonite clay works on the horse

Bentonite clay has a very particular structure: planes of atoms make up layers which in turn form sheets. This sheet structure is crucial because it gives the clay its three main recognised properties:

The ability to absorb liquids: it has a remarkable capacity to absorb inflammatory fluids within the tissues (inflammation of muscles and tendons), as well as secretions produced by wounds.

Strong adsorption capacity: it attracts toxins and microbes. Adsorption is a physico-chemical phenomenon. Bentonite clay carries positive ions that can be exchanged with ions from another medium. It works like a magnet, absorbing and binding many toxins while releasing beneficial minerals.

Remarkable astringent properties: that is, it tightens the tissues through its contracting action.

It stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation. Rich in aluminium silicate (a natural healing agent), it helps tissue repair and wound healing. Kaolinite gently cares for sensitive skin.

How Hydra Marine clay paste acts over time, in 4 phases

– 0 to 10 min: cooling effect

– 10 to 30 min: exchange between the inflamed area and the clay

– 30 to 90 min: toxins bound in the clay

– After 90 min: astringent effect
