Krasiejów clay (in German: Krascheow) became famous following the discovery of numerous fossilised bones of Upper Triassic amphibians and reptiles, which have been extracted from clay deposits since the 1980s. These organic remnants remained in Krasiejów clay due to the large amount of slime deposits and the optimal concentration of basal mineral salts. The main aims of the paper are to determine the historical evolution of the use of clay in Silesia for therapeutic purposes and to provide a summary of the historical uses of Krasiejów clay as a medical treatment, based on the knowledge of the local population. The mode of utilisation of Triassic variegated claystone treatment from Krasiejów was surveyed based on oral communication with local people. This information was collected over the last 35 years (1982–2017) by interviewing those who used clay as a traditional remedy, especially the eldest residents. Each resident was interviewed several times regarding the healing properties of Krasiejów clay, including the causes and symptoms of the ailments treated, mode of clay preparation, application methods, and dosage through semistructured interviews. Clay from Krasiejów was used in medicine after proper preparation. The clay underwent a complicated preparation process before the use in wraps, compresses, poultices, and baths as a skin peeling agent and even as a potion to be drunk. All recorded applications, diseases, and ailments to which it were applied are described here in detail, divided into treatments with warm, and cold clay. Krasiejów variegated claystone had different benefits depending on the form in which it was used; different diseases were treated with warm and cold clay. According to informants, many of these diseases have been successfully treated, in particular eczema of various origins, purulent ulcers on the skin, and following internal use, digestive ailments. According to informants, in cases where the disease could not be cured, for instance, psoriasis, a significant improvement in the condition of the skin was visible in a short period of time. Clay from Krasiejów should be subjected to more detailed physicochemical analyses to determine its exact chemical composition and healing properties.

波兰西里西亚（克拉西约）的三叠纪杂色粘土的传统知识和实践

在发现上三叠纪两栖动物和爬行动物的许多化石骨骼之后，Krasiejów粘土（德语：Krascheow）便广为人知，这些骨骼是从1980年代以来从粘土矿床中提取出来的。由于大量的煤泥沉积物和最佳的基础矿物盐浓度，这些有机残留物保留在Krasiejów粘土中。本文的主要目的是确定西里西亚使用粘土用于治疗目的的历史演变，并根据当地居民的知识总结Krasiejów粘土在医疗上的历史用途。根据与当地人的口头交流，对克拉西约夫的三叠纪杂色粘土岩处理的利用方式进行了调查。该信息是在过去35年（1982年至2017年）中通过采访那些使用黏土作为传统疗法的人（尤其是长者）而收集的。每位居民都接受过几次有关Krasiejów粘土的愈合特性的采访，包括治疗疾病的原因和症状，粘土的制备方式，施用方法以及通过半结构化访谈的剂量。正确制备后，将Krasiejów的粘土用于医学。在用于包裹，压紧，泥敷和浴液之前，对粘土进行了复杂的制备过程，以作为皮肤脱皮剂，甚至将其用作要喝的药水。此处详细描述了所有记录的应用，疾病和疾病，分为使用温和冷粘土的处理。根据使用的形式，Krasiejów杂色粘土石有不同的好处。不同的疾病都用冷热粘土治疗。据线人说，这些疾病中有许多已被成功治疗，特别是各种来源的湿疹，皮肤上的化脓性溃疡，以及在内部使用后引起消化系统疾病。据线人说，在牛皮癣等疾病无法治愈的情况下，可以在短时间内看到皮肤状况的显着改善。来自Krasiejów的粘土应进行更详细的理化分析，以确定其确切的化学组成和愈合特性。这些疾病中的许多已得到成功治疗，特别是各种来源的湿疹，皮肤上的化脓性溃疡以及内部使用后引起的消化系统疾病。据线人说，在牛皮癣等疾病无法治愈的情况下，可以在短时间内看到皮肤状况的显着改善。来自Krasiejów的粘土应进行更详细的理化分析，以确定其确切的化学组成和愈合特性。这些疾病中的许多已得到成功治疗，特别是各种来源的湿疹，皮肤上的化脓性溃疡以及内部使用后引起的消化系统疾病。据线人说，在牛皮癣等疾病无法治愈的情况下，可以在短时间内看到皮肤状况的显着改善。来自Krasiejów的粘土应进行更详细的理化分析，以确定其确切的化学组成和愈合特性。
