Answer:
Using clay for pottery has been a source of income since ancient times. Under an environment where it is not dry and has moisture in the air as well, it is dark, clay is mixed with water and then a thick mass it created. The thick mass is then molded into pots and other different shapes that are a part of pottery. The molded structures are then inserted inside an oven where it is fired to suck out all the moisture from the structure so that it turns hard. Pottery using clay is a lengthy process and take several hours to complete, as the clay must be heated slowly so that the moisture does not get removed very quickly. Evaporating moisture quickly will result in cracks to be caused in the structures.
For folk medicinal field the minerals of clay soil have been used. It has been discovered that the mineral contents of clay soil help to provide relief for an upset stomach and wound infection. A study has even shown that clay soil has minerals with antimicrobial properties that are effective in killing pathogenic bacteria that are antibiotic resistant. Studies have also shown that the minerals of clay can be used for the production of inexpensive medicines for curing infections in humans.
