Description
Activated Charcoal [Pharmaceutical Grade]
This Pharmaceutical Grade Activated Charcoal is made from coconut shells. It is profoundly detoxifying.
The use of Activated Charcoal for medicinal purposes dates back to 1,500BC.
It has been used for cases of acute toxicity from poisonous agents and snake bites etc. It is still used in hospitals, to this day, when a stomach pump is required.
Activated Charcoal For Skincare
Adding Activated Charcoal to clays, such as green clay and red clay, is a great way to supercharge the detoxification benefits of a face mask or body mask.
Activated Charcoal For Oral Health
Activated Charcoal is also excellent for oral health & teeth whitening. This is why we are finding an increasing number of commercial toothpastes containing v on pharmacy shelves.
However, you can use a small amount of Activated Charcoal with your preferred toothpaste to the same effect.
Wild As The Wind advocates the use of Sarakan Toothpaste, as well as making your own using Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil and Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil.
Of course, you can also use the more traditional options of Peppermint Essential Oil and Clove Essential Oil. (Wild As The Wind carry various versions of each of these aromatherapy oils, so please use the search box at the top of the page to discover your options.)
Activated Charcoal For Gas & Bloating
Activated Charcoal can be used for flatulence and abdominal discomfort / bloating.
***Excess gas can be a consequence of food intolerance or infection, which may indicate that your microbiome is compromised.
An overgrowth of yeast, (fungal infection), or bacterial infection, can cause excess gas and bloating. Intestinal parasites can also be the culprit.
Organic Food Grade Nigella Sativa Oil is both antifungal and antiparasitic, and a good number of essential oils are antifungal and antibacterial.
You may want to consider using Thieves Oil 2020 for abdominal, topical application for 7 days or so to help clear up suspected infections. Thieves Oil 2020 is antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic.
Activated Charcoal For Kidney Health
Activated Charcoal is advocated for acute use for kidney health. If kidneys are heavily overburdened, they will fail to cleanse our blood properly, leading to all manner of subsequent issues.
A brief kidney cleanse using Activated Charcoal will help to eliminate the toxic burden on the kidneys, and restore kidney function.
But, it is imperative to thoroughly research Activated Charcoal for kidney health before considering a kidney cleanse using Activated Charcoal. Buying a book on the subject is advised.
Activated charcoal may be able to assist kidney function by filtering out undigested toxins and drugs.
The following quote is from an article in Medical News Today, which cites two very promising studies. These studies show gastrointestinal benefits and improved kidney function after Activated Charcoal administration.
Activated charcoal seems to be especially effective at removing toxins derived from urea, the main by-product of protein digestion. More research is needed, but some animal studies show that activated charcoal may help improve kidney function and reduce gastrointestinal damage and inflammation in those with chronic kidney disease.1
Activated Charcoal Other Uses
Activated Charcoal can also be used for the following:
- Bites & stings
- Nausea & upset stomach
- Added to your makeup removal protocol
- Food poisoning
