Description
What Is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal is created by the controlled decomposition of carbon-based compounds, such as coconut shells or peat (vegetable matter). To make activated charcoal, these natural sources are “activated” with gases at high temperatures, which expands its surface. This results in a very porous final product, which allows for the adsorption of drugs and toxins.
So, how does activated charcoal work? It works by trapping toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pores. However, it’s not typically a remedy for ingesting corrosive poisons like petroleum, alcohol, lye, or acids.
It doesn’t absorb toxins. Instead, it works through the chemical process of adsorption. In the body, absorption is the reaction of elements, including nutrients, chemicals, and toxins, soaked up and assimilated into the bloodstream. Adsorption is the chemical reaction where factors bind to a surface.
The porous surface of activated charcoal has a negative electric charge that causes positive-charged toxins and gas to bond with it. These nooks and crannies that enhance toxin elimination inside the body result from a heating process, which allows the charcoal’s “activation.”
Whitens Teeth
Activated charcoal helps whiten teeth while promoting good oral health.
Help Alleviates Gas and Bloating
Activated charcoal pills or powders can alleviate uncomfortable gas and bloat. It works by binding the gas-causing byproducts in foods that cause discomfort.
May Treats Poisoning
While activated charcoal does not adsorb alcohol, it does help quickly remove other toxins from the body that contribute to poisoning.
May Treats Poisoning (and Helps Prevent Hangovers)
While activated charcoal does not adsorb alcohol, it does help quickly remove other toxins from the body that contribute to poisoning.
Mold Cleansing
Most people don’t think about mold living in their bodies, but it can. 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 effectively traps impurities in water, including solvents, pesticides, industrial waste, and other chemicals, which is why activated charcoal filter systems are used worldwide. However, these filtration systems cannot trap viruses, bacteria, and hard-water minerals.
Skin and Body Health It’s effective at treating body odor and acne and relieving discomfort from insect bites, rashes from poison ivy or oak, and snake bites.
Digestive Cleanse
Activated charcoal helps promote a healthy digestive tract by removing toxins that cause allergic reactions, oxidative damage, and poor immune system function.
Anti-Aging
Activated charcoal uses include helping prevent cellular damage to the kidneys and liver, as well as supporting healthy adrenal glands. It’s imperative to cleanse toxins and chemicals routinely from the body.
Reduces High Cholesterol
Studies worldwide show that activated charcoal reduces bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol as much as some prescription medications.
