Activated Charcoal – Why it’s so good for you!

What is activated charcoal?

Activated charcoal is a highly effective natural treatment used to trap toxins and chemicals in the body and helping them to be flushed out so the body doesn’t reabsorb them. This is a fine powder which you can buy in tubs or as capsules. It’s important to choose activated charcoal made from coconut shells or other natural sources.

What are its uses?

Whitens Teeth – Take a small amount of AC on a wet tooth brush and brush your teeth with it preferably 2-3 times a week for white sparkling teeth! Make sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly.

Remove Blackheads – Mix 1 tablespoon of any white craft glue like fevicol with 1/2 teaspoon of AC. Apply a thick layer on your nose and any other required areas after applying a warm towel to the area for a few minutes. Wait till completely dry before you pull out pesky blackheads for clean & clear pores. Best to do this after a hot shower when your pores are open.
