Multani Mitti as a Body Wash
You can use multani mitti for washing your entire body as you have done with your face. Mix it with water or raw milk. Add a pinch of turmeric powder and salt each (any salt you use in your kitchen). Apply as much liquid (water or milk) as is necessary to obtain a creamy consistency.
Take the mixture and rub it on your body as you would use your regular body wash. Remember, there will be no lather obviously. But, you can feel that it is properly cleansing your body. The dirt would be visible as you circulate your finger, rubbing the mixture all over your body.

Multani Mitti as a Hair Pack
If you have very oily hair then only you should use multani mitti on your scalp and hair. It is not suitable for restoring dry and damaged hair.
Add 1 tablespoon of multani mitti to your regular hair pack.
Also, you can make a paste of multani mitti using water and apply it all over your scalp and hair. That alone should be enough.
Keep it for 15 to 20 minutes or a little longer. Wash it off using regular water and rinse it off thoroughly.
Before using this hair pack, however, ensure to oil your hair a little (just a little) even if your hair is very oily.
PS. The function of multani mitti here is only restricted to removing the access oil dust dark grease and any impurities deeply from your scalp and hair. It adds no extra nourishment to your hair but helps your hair and scalp absorb the nutrients from other hair treatments that you plan to do.
To maintain the health of anything ensuring its proper cleanliness is the basic step. And, multani mitti does the job brilliantly!
