  • Produced to ecological standards, free from agro-chemicals, non-irradiated and GMO-free.

  • Take 1 - 2 teaspoons of Ancient Purity Diatomaceous Earth daily in filtered water, smoothies or juices.
  • Take on an empty stomach.
  • As some people experience high energy levels, it is best to take it in the morning hours.

Skin: Ancient Purity Diatomaceous earth also works as a fantastic exfoliator, making it a perfect addition to many skin care products.

At Home: Use against house insects (ants, cockroaches, silverfish, bed bugs, flies, fleas, ticks, etc.). Sprinkle the area which you suspect is infested.

  • Brush and vacuum carpets or any area where you think bugs, insects or fleas could be lurking. This will improve the efficacy of diatomaceous earth for flea and other pest problems, because it aggravates them and gets them to move, which allows DE to work better.

Plants & Vegetables: Gardeners can find that diatomaceous earth is a dream come true. The sharp points scratch the exoskeleton of insects causing them to dry out and die and the powder also absorbs fats (lipids) from the hard exoskeletons of the insects, drying them even further. It makes an excellent pesticide, effectively controlling aphids, thrips, mites, snails, and slugs without harming worms or beneficial soil microorganisms.

Natural Plant Protection against Insects: DE is the organic way of controlling insects in the garden, greenhouse, orchard, and other places. Use it for control of slugs, whitefly, beetles, mites, grasshoppers, etc. For use in the greenhouse or outdoors on fruits, vegetables, flowers, grains and grass - up to and including the day of harvest. Ensure coverage over the entire plant, including under the leaves. For young plants, 2 lbs (0.75kg) per acre may be adequate. For larger plants, 5 lbs (1.8kg) per acre may be enough. Add 7 lbs (2.6kg) of DE to each ton of grain and mix well to kill bugs in the grain.

There are so many toxins that we consume on a daily basis like car exhausts, heavy metals, food additives, and cleaning chemicals. For the most part, our bodies are really good at cleaning out pollutants like these on their own, but sometimes they need a little extra help, and that's where detoxing with Ancient Purity Diatomaceous Earth can help.

Q: What does DE mean?
A: Diatomaceous Earth, It is simply an abbreviation.

Q: How can something that kills bugs not be harmful for me and my pets?

A: Remember Diatomaceous Earth kills insects by physical action, not chemical. Hundreds of the microscopic particles get all over the insects body. As the insects move, it scratches the waxy coating off of them and they dehydrate and die. Because the particles are so small--they cause no harm to people and pets. It is a simple mineral - silica. Please note I do not want to promote the killing of any creatures no matter how small, but this is for your information. 

Q: How much Food Grade DE should a person take each day?
A: You could take 1 heaped tablespoon per day in liquid of your choice. I use juice, but many just put in a glass of water. I know some who take 2 or 3 tablespoons a day, but that is usually for a severe problem they are trying to correct. I also know some who just take a teaspoon per day to start out with and work up to a tablespoon.

Q: I have heard DE is dangerous--Especially when Breathing it in.
A: Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth often gets confused with Filter Grade Diatomaceous Earth. Filter grade DE starts out as food grade, but it is heated to about 1,000 degrees and chemicals are added to crystallise it. This works great for filtering but is dangerous to people and animals. Breathing the crystallised product in over long periods of time causes a disease called silicoses. The world health org. has said that DE needs to be less than 2% crystalline silica in order to be considered safe. The filter grade DE is 60% crystalline!! -- Stay away from it --- it is dangerous!!

This food grade Diatomaceous Earth on the other hand is less than 50% crystalline silica. As you can see, that is more than 4 times less than it needs to be to be considered safe! Daily use of Food Grade DE for people, pets and around the home is perfectly safe. But it  should be treated like any other dusty product, if you are going to breath it in over long periods of time, wear a dust mask ---- but it should in no way be compared to the dangerous crystallised filter grade.

Q: Will Food Grade DE interfere with any medication I am now taking?
A: Diatomaceous Earth is a mineral---silica. We have never had an issue where anyone has reported problem or reaction to taking DE. If you have any questions as to interactions with medications you are taking---ask your doctor or pharmacist if taking a silica supplement will cause any problems. We know nothing about pharmaceutical drugs so we cannot advise on using both at the same time. Please know this is no disrespect to pharma drugs or the good people who prescribe them, I have too much still to learn about natural products to start learning about anything pharmaceutical.

Q: Does Diatomaceous Earth ever get old or expire?
A: No, Diatomaceous Earth is a mineral and will never expire---remember--it is already thousands of years old, and so could you live to be if you follow a healthy organic lifestyle and use Ancient Purity products ;)
