eliminated from the body, prior to any
absorption, through the charcoal, it is a
commonly used method of treatment in
emergency and doctors rooms.
Keeping your Pearly Whites
One of the most well known uses of charcoal
are for the whitening of teeth. As mentioned
earlier in this article, activated charcoal is an
absorbent which causes the plaque from
teeth as well as stains caused by everyday
foods, to attach to and be removed by the
charcoal. As it is also anti-inammatory,
charcoal improves your overall dental health
including strengthening gums and
preventing tooth decay.
Mix equal parts activated charcoal to water
and gargle. This will help cleanse your mouth
and remove stains from your teeth.
Stop the Bloat
We know, by now, that activated charcoal is
highly absorbent which is why it is so
benecial with conditions like
acid reux and a bloated
stomach. The charcoal
absorbs the gasses that
c a u s e

uncomfortable conditions
and deates your tummy.

No More Hangover
Party animals will love this benet. There is
research showing that charcoal may be
the new magic hangover cure. It is
inferred that charcoal may
reduce blood alcohol
levels, when taken
with the alcohol. So
now there may be
a way to have
that extra
cocktail without
the hangover.
