The Wonders of Activated Charcoal

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. Charcoal is made from coal, wood, or other substances. It becomes “activated charcoal” when high temperatures combine with a gas or activating agent to expand its surface area. When used for natural healing it’s important to select activated charcoal made from coconut shells or other natural sources.

Healers from Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, and Western Medicine have used activated charcoal.  Activated charcoal is used to treat poisonings, reduce intestinal gas, lower cholesterol levels, prevent hangover, and treat bile flow problems during pregnancy. It also used as air and water purifiers. Activated charcoal is a global remedy for general detoxification, digestion issues, heart health, and anti-aging.
Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pores. It doesn’t absorb the toxins but instead it works through the chemical process of adsorption. Adsorption is the chemical reaction where elements bind to a surface. Taking activated charcoal on a daily basis is a great way to help you thrive in an overly toxin-filled environment. Whenever you take activated charcoal, it’s imperative to drink 12-16 glasses of water per day. It can cause dehydration if adequate amounts of water aren’t consumed in tandem. This also helps to flush out the toxins quickly and prevents constipation experienced by some individuals.

Activated Charcoal Uses

  • Whitens teeth – activated charcoal helps whiten teeth while promoting good oral health by changing the pH balance in the mouth, helping prevent cavities, bad breath and gum disease.
  • Alleviates Gas & Bloating – it works by binding the gas-causing byproducts in foods that cause discomfort.
  • Alcohol Poisoning and Hangovers- it help quickly remove other toxins from the body that contribute poisoning. It can also significantly reduce blood alcohol concentrations.
  • Mold Cleansing – toxic mold causes depression, kidney and liver failure, decreased brain function, heart disease, eye irritation, headaches, vomiting, impaired immune system function and severe respiratory distress.
  • Water Filtration – it traps impurities in water including solvent, pesticides, industrial waste and other chemicals.
  • Skin and Body Health – its effective at treating body odor and acne and relieving discomfort from insect bites, rashes from poison ivy or poison oak, and snake bites.
  • Digestive Cleanse – it is used to help promote a healthy digestive tract by removing toxins that cause allergic reactions, oxidative damage and poor immune system function.
  • Anti-Aging – it helps prevent cellular damage to kidneys and liver, as well as supporting healthy adrenal glands.

You shouldn’t take activated charcoal if you’re taking prescription medication, as it could render your medication useless. Before you try these out, remember that activated charcoal may have many health benefits but it’s not a wonder drug. We recommend keeping activated charcoal ingestion to a moderate amount when you first try it out.
