Activated Charcoal is used to whiten teeth, reduce bloating and gas, lower cholesterol and treat bile flow problems safely during pregnancy. It can also be used for a digestive cleanse and as a skin wrap for acne and blackheads and to remove environmental toxins and dirt from the skin.
Activated charcoal is a potent natural treatment used to trap toxins and chemicals in the body, allowing them to be flushed out so the body doesn’t reabsorb them. It’s made from a variety of sources, but when used for natural healing, it’s important to select activated charcoal made from coconut shells or other natural sources.
Internally Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pores, and removing them from the body. It can absorb many times its own weight in poisons, toxins, gases, odours, and chemicals. Mix 1 teaspoon in 1 cup of water to drink.
Externally Activated Charcoal works by targeting toxins and drawing out impurities to clear the pores of the skin. Mix with an equal quantity of cornflour or ground linseed powder and enough warm water to make a paste, then apply to skin. Remove when dry.
