23 May Discover The Many Uses Of Diatomaceous Earth

What Is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock composed of the fossilised remains of tiny aquatic organisms called diatoms. These diatoms lived in bodies of water millions of years ago and left behind silica-rich skeletons. When these skeletons accumulate and fossilise, they form deposits that are mined and ground into fine powder. Diatomaceous Earth is known for its porous and abrasive texture, making it useful for a variety of applications such as pest control, filtration and personal care products.

It’s Versatile Uses: 
Internal and External Parasite Control for Pets: Food-grade Diatomaceous Earth acts as a natural pet dewormer and gently eliminates internal parasites when ingested. It can also be applied directly onto your pet’s coat to help control external parasites such as ticks and fleas.
