Spider Bite! AHH!
I first learned the value of activated charcoal from the director of the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine, and I've been a charcoal cheerleader ever since. Activated charcoal is my recovery super star!
When my oldest daughter was 4 she had a issue with the skin on her fingertip. Not knowing what would be causing such destruction to her skin tissue, I consulted a treasured local herbalist right away. 7 Song is a very skilled and knowledgeable practitioner. Right away he explained that it was a bite of some kind, which was causing the tissue damage. In true form to the master teacher that he is, he quickly began pulling up photos and schooling me about the scope of damage that can be caused by spider bites. He suspected we were dealing with a spider bite and the toxins needed to be drawn out. So he made a poultice of charcoal and told me to keep doing this for three days. The condition of her finger improved so dramatically in such a short amount of time that I began to learn as much as I could about activated charcoal and experiment with its other uses. |
Top 2 Reasons You Must Have This Natural Remedy In Your Home
#1 To Draw Poison out of the Body - Topical Application
For anyone not familiar with what a poultice is, what it does or how to use one I'll explain. Merriam-Webster defines a poultice as, "a soft usually heated and sometimes medicated mass spread on cloth and applied to sores or other lesions."
You can use it for many different ailments, depending on what you are treating the ingredients and method of application will vary. In the story I just told, we simply sprinkled the area of the body (her finger tip) with activated charcoal and wrapped it with gauze to keep the charcoal on and secured it in place with medical tape. Then I redid the poultice 2x's a day and replaced the bandage.

#2 Remedying Stomach Discomfort & Solving GI Tract Issues - Internal Consumption
One holiday we were visiting friends overnight and I watched a dear friend suffer from GI issues due to shrimp she had consumed. I could have easily helped her feel better with a charcoal tonic, but I wasn't prepared, so instead this new mom was very ill. Now I never leave home without it! I always keep a stash in my car, I recommend you do the same, people with thank you for it! Amazing stuff, spread the word! |

Activated Charcoal has a long history of being an effective anti-poison remedy.
I find it to be extremely valuable for remedying the discomfort of stomach bugs because it works as an absorbent of toxins in the digestive system, relieves gases, can eliminate fungi, viruses and bacteria.
Activated Charcoal Powder has the ability to adsorb a variety of particles and gases, which is why I value it so highly for removing potentially toxic substances from the digestive tract. Your stomach acid will not break down the Activated Charcoal. It's not absorbed by the body, but carries toxins out of the body in the feces, so don't be alarmed by very dark stool, this is just the charcoal being passed.
Basically the rule I go by is if anything sketchy was consumed on purpose or by accident take charcoal!
For example, you take your children swimming in a natural setting and they swallow water from the pond or stream. Don't wait for a problem just give the child charcoal pro-actively.
I do the same for issues of stomach flu exposure. If it's a time of year where many people are ill in your neighborhood and you go out and about, you could try being pro-active and use a small amount of activated charcoal to prevent a heap of suffering later.
