AMAZING BENEFITS OF ACTIVATED CHARCOALActivated charcoal is a carbon- based substance that has been heated or otherwise treated to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. It is made from wood and other plant materials preferably palm kernel/coconut shells which are usually heated with a gas that causes the materials to expand, creating a porous surface.
Because of its extremely porous nature, activated charcoal is able to attract and strongly bind many harmful substances like chemicals, toxins, poisons, heavy metals, intestinal gas, fertilizer, or even alcohol in various aqueous based environments.
True activated charcoal is odourless, tasteless and non-toxic.
Interest in activated charcoal grew in 1831 when a French Academy of Medicine professor (Prof Touery) famously drank a lethal dose of strychnine and did not suffer any ill effects, all because he combined the deadly poison with activated charcoal. We do not recommend you try this.
