In earlier data on the records of montmorillonite has medicinal effects, such as described in "Herbal Supplements" in the montmorillonite and detoxification can be used for trauma and put it summarized as a medicine. Meanwhile, civil society has been circulating in the treatment of children with diarrhea and other recipes combined with montmorillonite and other herbs. In recent years, along with in-depth study abroad in the field of mineralogy, montmorillonite is used to treat gastrointestinal disorders (especially diarrhea) of natural medicine.
Medicinal mechanism of montmorillonite depends primarily on its adsorption properties and gelling properties, and therefore can be attached to the gastrointestinal mucosa montmorillonite, adsorption fixed pathogenic microorganisms to rupture, dehydration and even inactivated. Meanwhile, montmorillonite also adsorption, removal of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins produced by the body's resistance to harmful pathogens emissions factor, so that the body in a favorable environment. Montmorillonite can improve the quality and quantity of mucus, mucus proteins capable of binding enhances mucus agglutination and cohesion, to the role of the mucus barrier, made the cause of resistance to foreign invasion son. Montmorillonite in certain environments with gel and liquidity transformation properties make suspending agents, adhesives, carriers and diluents can be used for drugs.
Medicinal value in clinical montmorillonite be more fully reflected. Overseas studies have shown that montmorillonite pylori, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and rotavirus are adsorbed and fixed effect. Given its easy modification, modification treatment, the surface charge is increased, and the charge-generating micro-circulation in the field of action of physical effects, biofilms can modulate the charge balance. Therefore, montmorillonite for ringworm and other skin and mucous membranes caused damage, ulcers have better results.
Montmorillonite in the pharmaceutical industry is mainly used as accessories. Since montmorillonite has a water absorption, suspension, dispersion, adhesion, thixotropic, so as preparation materials have emulsifying, thickening, suspending, absorption features, is an excellent pharmaceutical excipients. Montmorillonite were closed out in the United States Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia, the British Pharmacopoeia, the country will also be included in the "national pharmaceutical formulation of new product development guidelines."
