DESCRIPTION
Steam activated charcoal from coconut shell, ground ultra fine, with nothing added.
Eden Healthfoods steam activate the charcoal rather than using chemicals, and the powder is pure charcoal: no sweeteners, additives or binders.
Internally, the label directs one heaped teaspoon, about 2g, in half a glass of water, followed by a full glass of water.
Externally it is used as a poultice: mix with enough water to make a paste, apply, and leave on until dry. For a firmer poultice, mix a teaspoon of charcoal with a tablespoon of slippery elm powder. Always make a fresh one.
Charcoal binds what is in your stomach, and that includes medicines, supplements and food, so keep it at least two hours away from anything you want absorbed. It also stains, so keep it off the good linen.
A 1kg pouch is a lot of charcoal, which is the point if you use it for poultices.
