Activated charcoal is a natural substance that traps toxins and chemicals in the body, and flushes them out so that the body is unable to resorb them. The natural form is often made from coconut shells, wood, or peat which is decomposed vegetable matter. It’s a natural way to use it once in a while for cleansing the body from trapped toxins and chemicals.  It is available in the pharmacy and is often used for stomach discomfort, gas, or diarrhea. In emergency rooms, it may be used for poising and drug or alcohol overdoses. Whenever you use it please be sure it is food grade.

This drink must be had on an empty stomach.
