Have you heard of Diatomaceous Earth? If not, then let me introduce it to you. Diatomaceous Earth or DE is an impressive and distinguished all-natural product from tiny wrinkled or fossilized water plants. These are the remains of phytoplankton or microscopic one-celled plants called diatoms, which can be found in the oceans or lakes all over the world. DE has been part of the earth’s ecology for a long time now. These minerals are being mined, purified and grounded until it would look like powder. 
DE is being processed into countless variety of uses. There are two main uses of diatomaceous earth – filtering and filler. But unknown by many, DE can be found in drugs, paints, insecticides and even cosmetics. It is really very useful and its usage depends on how it was processed.
Let us focus more on food grade diatomaceous earth and its benefits. It is being mixed with grains to control worms and pests. It has been proven that it makes a very adequate and competent natural insecticide. It is because of its unique quality – razor sharp edges of the diatom remains. The sharp edges rip the insect’s exoskeleton and then the powdered type of DE absorbs its body fluids resulting to dehydration that will eventually cause death. Because of that, it is very effective in worming livestock in a natural way. It works in a full physical and you can say mechanical way instead of chemical since it does not contain any chemical. And even though it is purely natural, it acts and works like a chemical with its reaction to pests. The good thing about DE is that since there are no chemicals involved there’s no way for parasites to be immune to its reaction. Therefore, it can definitely cut money and time spent just to get the best solution to your pest control issues.
This is not just good for animals or plants but this can also be used for/by humans. Would you believe that? Studies show that DE is very recommendable for humans too. A small dose of DE mixed in a glass of water, before eating, can absorb toxins and unhealthy stuffs from our tummy without even having conflicts with our body’s digestion of nutrients. It has been proven that there’s no harm in using diatomaceous earth more than the recommended amount because the more you use it the better your health will be. Let me give you a simple example for us to realize its benefit. Worms can be found in our body. Worms are parasites and they can kills or the least can cause diseases. If you use DE, it dehydrates and kill them (worms) leaving us with more nutrients that can be distributed to our body. With more nutrients, the healthier we become and the longer we live.
Aside from helping yourself, you can also make your house safer without worrying about future insect problems. By using DE, you can prevent annoying bugs to live with you. All you have to do is to apply food grade diatomaceous earth along baseboards, cabinets, inside the wall, in the attic, in your storage room or in any place that you have or you think you would have insect problems in the future. Having DE in your own home is like having complete peace of mind since you are assured to have a pleasant and safe environment.
The other uses of DE are as drying agent, digestive aids, deodorizer, colon cleanser etc. To sum it all up, DE is a gift from nature that is just waiting to be discovered and used.
