THE MANY USES OF ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
(Health info and tips)

Activated charcoal is very similar to common charcoal, but is made specifically for medicinal use. When manufactured; common charcoal is exposed to gases that create activated charcoal. This process creates special “pores”, these “pores” give activated charcoal the ability to trap chemicals.

Here are some of the uses of activated charcoal:

1.     Whiten your teeth (use it 2-3 times a week)


Wet the tooth brush and put some charcoal on it. Brush your teeth especially the affected areas.
Be careful not to make a mess because you can stain your floor, furniture etc. If you have crowns, caps or porcelain veneers don’t use it.



2.   Alleviate gas and bloating

Take 500 milligrams with a full glass of water one hour before meal. It works by binding the gas-causing byproducts in foods that cause discomfort.

3.   Toxin removal

Take 50- 100 grams, 10- 25 for children, you can also use it on animals. Always drink a lot of water when using activated charcoal.
Activated charcoal can be used in cases of food poisoning when nausea and diarrhea are present. Most organic compounds, pesticides, mercury, fertilizer and bleach bind to activated charcoal’s surface, allowing for quicker elimination, while preventing the absorption in the body.
If you have serious poisoning always consult a doctor.

4.   Skin care


It is used for acne treatment, soothing poison ivy and poison oak rashes, insect bites treatment. Combine it with aloe vera gel, or coconut oil for this type of use. You can also use it as a detox face mask in combination with green clay.




Regular use of activated charcoal (two times a day) has many benefits for the body. Because it cleanses the body from toxins, this whole process helps the internal organs. This process helps with high cholesterol, better cell regeneration, reduces joint pain, and promotes better mental function.

Caution: If you are pregnant or breast feed you can use it short term. If you have intestinal obstruction don`t use it. Always consult with your doctor before regular use.
