Terra Sigillata is clay. It has been used as medicine for different diseases through Centuries even millenniums. This specific clay has been used from Hippocrates until the 20th cent. more or less for the same kind of diseases, mostly various poisonings. The earliest known clay in use as medicine came from the Greek island Lemnos. Later on, when the clay became a very popular medicine, it was manufactured as tablets all over Europe where this specific type of clay was available. But Terra Sigillata is also a type of Roman Samian ware, used in the widespread Roman Empire.
赤陶土是一种黏土。几个世纪甚至几千年来，它一直被用作治疗各种疾病的药物。从希波克拉底时代到20世纪，这种特殊的黏土或多或少都被用于治疗同一类疾病，主要是各种中毒。已知最早用作药物的黏土来自希腊的利姆诺斯岛。后来，当这种黏土成为一种非常受欢迎的药物时，在欧洲所有有这种特殊黏土的地方，它都被制成片剂。但赤陶土也是罗马萨米恩陶器的一种，在幅员辽阔的罗马帝国被广泛使用。
