I wrote in a recent post about using active charcoal for food poisoning here. I have since discovered it has many more uses other than for food poisoning. Pay attention to this remedy, it may actually save lives. Once again, this is a remedy every household should have in the medicine cabinet. You can use active charcoal to make a poultice (how-to video below), and you can bathe in it. I imagine bathing in charcoal is going to be more than a little messy. However, the benefits OMG. Do you smoke? Apparently, taking a charcoal bath can suck the nicotine right out of your body! Read all about this amazing remedy.
What Is Activated Charcoal?Activated charcoal is carbon that has been treated with oxygen. This makes the charcoal more porous. Porous charcoal has more bonding sites, causing things to be chemically attracted to the charcoal. In turn, this allows the charcoal to trap the chemical impurities that cause infection, inflammation and other toxic reactions in the body.
Activated charcoal is used for a number of applications other than poultices, including in air purifying filters and water filters. It is used in fabrics and soaps, as well. It is also used as an odor absorber, such as in kitty litter and air neutralizers.
Activated charcoal is inexpensive, simple to use, and a time-tested natural remedy that has many valuable uses without dangerous side effects or contradictions. It is an efficient cleaner when taken orally which helps to purify the blood.
Charcoal may adsorb and inactivate other medications. Usually you can take charcoal two hours before or after other drugs. Check with your physician before beginning treatment with charcoal if you are taking prescription drugs. You may take charcoal intermittently for long periods or regularly for up to 12 weeks. However, it should not be taken regularly for extended periods of over 12 weeks. Do not give charcoal to an unconscious person.
Activated charcoal may be used as an antidote in poisoning from most drugs and chemicals. However, DO NOT USE WITH THE FOLLOWING: Cyanide, mineral acids, caustic alkalines, alcohol, or boric acid. Other antidotes are more effective. Charcoal is not effective in every poisoning situation so consult a Poison control Center or a physician immediately for instructions in any poisoning emergency.
NOTE: USP grade Activated Charcoals is for internal use. Regular Activated Charcoal is for external use only and is not intended for internal use.
