Activated Charcoal is often ignored when it comes to building a medical aid kit. It is one of the safest methods for treating accidental poisoning. A bonus is it does wonders for your teeth…

It contains many small chambers and cavities that catch or bind-up unwanted materials and gases — enabling it to carry it safely through the digestive system. It is a highly absorbent substance that will remove toxins without absorbing them into the body.

Activated Charcoal should be taken within 30 minutes of accidental poisoning, Ony with the go-ahead of a Doctor. It should not be taken for a few hours after taking medication, or vitamins. This is because it will absorb them and prevent you from absorbing them.

There is some evidence that Activated Charcoal is helpful both before and after alcohol consumption. It lessens the amount of alcohol that is absorbed by the body.Activated Charcoal

    1. HI Bobo
      I would advise against taking Charcoal at all if you are on Medication. The charcoal works like a sponge and as much as it absorbs all the nasty things in your gut, it can absorb meds as well If you like you can email me on info@liferetreat.co.za and I can advise you as to what to take
      Thanks Trish
