The various uses of activated charcoal as health aids are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not yet been proven in clinical trials. Some of the conditions for which activated charcoal can be used as a treatment or remedy are potentially serious and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.

This book is intended as general information only, and should not be used to diagnose or treat any health condition. In light of the complex, individual, and specific nature of health problems, this book is not intended to replace professional medical advice. The ideas, procedures, and suggestions in this book are intended to supplement, not replace, the advice of a trained medical professional. Consult your physician before adopting any of the suggestions in this book, as well as about any condition that may require diagnosis or medical attention. The author and publisher disclaim any liability arising directly or indirectly from the use of this book.

If you discovered a product with healing powers that not only detoxified the blood and body and restored energy to the muscles and mind, but also provided anti-aging benefits such as fighting wrinkles, combatting cancerous growth in cells, and maintaining memory and cognitive functioning, would you be intrigued?

Join the millions of people around the world who have become interested in the positive effects that activated charcoal can have on overall health and the quality of daily life. This one unique ingredient has been developed into one hundred consumable and topical formulations that can help resolve health and beauty issues ranging from the reduction of high blood pressure and unhealthy cholesterol levels to the minimization of acne and wrinkles.

Natural gases give activated charcoal its highly porous surface, which helps it rid the body of toxins in a plethora of treatments, including shampoos that clarify hair, scrubs that cleanse skin, masks that clear pores, and soaks that detoxify the body. By integrating the applications presented in this book, you can transform your health, vitality, and beauty. The use of a small amount of activated charcoal can target specific health and beauty issues (which will be discussed in detail in this book), and a remarkable improvement in health can be seen in a short time.

Because holistic approaches to achieving better health have become more widely accepted by the general public in recent years, activated charcoal has now become one of the most popular and bestselling natural wellness supplements. A wide selection of activated charcoal manufacturers have tailored it for use in everything from meal preparation to beauty products.

By replacing the harsh additives and chemicals that are commonly used by food and drug manufacturers, activated charcoal can provide countless health benefits while ridding the body and brain of detrimental toxins that can lead to poor cognitive functioning, low energy levels, and pain.

On the following pages you will find one hundred benefits and ways to use this impressive ingredient in your daily routine to improve your health, beauty, and life in astonishing ways.

Activated charcoal, sometimes referred to as activated carbon, is a form of carbon that has been specifically processed to have small pores. These pores help increase its absorption of elements and its ability to engage in chemical reactions. Because activated charcoal is manufactured for specific functions related to absorbing, expelling, or reacting to elements, it is sometimes referred to as active charcoal.

Manufacturers create activated charcoal from peat, coal, wood, petroleum, or coconut shells. Heating common charcoal with gases causes the charcoal to develop tiny internal spaces (its pores), giving it an astoundingly high degree of microporosity. Even one gram of activated charcoal has an estimated surface area of 32,000 square feet! This activation process can be performed using either physical or chemical means, but both methods produce the same quality product.

The activated charcoal you find in stores and through distributors is derived from a variety of sources, but its all created with the intent of ridding pollutants, contaminants, or chemicals from an environment. Activated charcoal can be used for a multitude of things, including removing air or water pollutants, making wine, purifying distilled alcohol, removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from products, and even cleansing the body of harmful elements. While activated charcoal has historically been used for medicinal or environmental cleansing purposes, it is now being included in a variety of beauty, health, and home uses that can all contribute to the improvement of your overall health and the quality of your daily life.
