TRACEY RANCIFER

Activated charcoal is a potent natural treatment used to trap toxinsand chemicals in the body, allowing them to be flushed out so thebody doesn’t reabsorb them. It’s made from a variety of sources,but when used for natural healing, it’s important to select activatedcharcoal made from coconut shells or other natural sources. It

becomes “activated charcoal” when high temperatures combinewith a gas or activating agent to expand its surface area.

Activated Charcoal comes in a powder form and it’s used medicinallyas well as in air purifiers and water purifiers. Its recorded use dates

back to 1550 BC and in modern times is most widely used medicinallyas a detoxifier and poison antidote. I always keep it on hand for spider

bites, or accidental ingestion of toxins or stomach bugs.

One of the most popular activated charcoal uses is for the safe andeffective treatment of poisoning and drug overdoses. It’s used in

emergency trauma centers across the world. In addition, it’s used toreduce bloating and gas, lower cholesterol, treat bile flow problems

safely during pregnancy, and even prevent hangovers.
