Activated Charcoal
Most people have been wondering what activated charcoal is and its use. Activated charcoal is a fine black powder that is made from coal, wood or any material that can be processed at high heat. Once these materials gets processed at high heat, they become "activated" and more porous than the regular charcoal. Activated charcoal is able to absorb, trap and flush toxic substances in the body. These toxic substances are eliminated from the body through excretions.

Because it is a natural product and has lot of good benefits, it is now widely used in the health and beauty industry.

It is used for face masks due to its ability to pull out dirt from the pores. All you need do is add few drops of water to the activated charcoal powder to create a paste. Apply this on your face and leave it for about 10 minutes before washing it off.Teeth Whitening
People used this centuries ago to whiten their teeth but, recently it has become widely known. It has the ability to absorb plaque and other compounds that contribute to staining the teeth.In a Smoothie
This sounds weird right! A black charcoal smoothie may be one of the most amazing smoothies you have ever had. The activated charcoal helps detox the body. To spice it up and make it more interesting, you can add ingredients like banana, berries, seeds and nuts.For Sore Throat
It can be used as lozenge because of its pain relief properties, to give you quick relieve from cough, sore throat etc.As a Nutritional Supplement
It acts a nutritional supplement since they help detox the body and reduce one's cholesterol level. But they can only be used for short term and should not be taken along with other supplements. This is because the activated charcoal can mistaken the supplements for toxins and absorb them.
