4 Reasons to Use Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal has traditionally been used for healing purposes for more than 3,000 years. It is a carbon based substance that is very porous with the ability to attract and bind toxins in water based environments.

For this reason activated charcoal is used to aid in human health by detoxifying the body of harmful substances and relieving symptoms of nausea, gastrointestinal upset, inflammation and even supporting healthy cholesterol levels.

I take it in rotation with bentonite clay and diametaecious earth, for detoxing.
Natural remedies address the root cause, instead of masking symptoms like conventional medicine.
Blackseed oil is something else I take regularly for overall health benefits. My family have also started taking it too which is awesome!
