Zion Health (www.zionhealth.net) will introduce "Kanwa Minerals Tea," at the New Living Expo, in San Francisco, California, April 25 through April 27, 2008. Zion Health specializes in natural healing remedies containing Kanwa Minerals; a natural combination of more than 60 trace minerals found in remote parts of the desert near the border of Mexico, and California. This innovative tea blend combines flavorful herbs with ancient minerals that gently absorbs toxins in the body and stimulates healing.

The eating of minerals has been observed in many peoples and animals in all parts of the world since antiquity. Early writers described the widespread use of Kanwa (earth from a lick near Lake Chad) for animals and humans in Nigeria. Long journeys were made to the lick to obtain a tribal supply of this earth, and it was then issued as rations to cattle and humans. Certain veins of edible clay were also greatly esteemed by American Indian Cultures.

Minerals from Kanwa have been exposed to the earth's gases in bubbling minerals pools. The natural heat process bonds the minute molecules, giving them a negative ion charge which further assures absorption and utilization in the metabolic processes of the body. Negative charges contained in negative ions seem to be associated with healing, with feelings of well-being and changes in physiology.

Extensive research in bona fide institutions confirms the benefits of active trace minerals to the biological engineering that occurs at the cellular level.
