Activated Charcoal

Pure Eden Activated Charcoal is pure carbon, and is considered the most absorptive material in the world.

Incredibly, one gram of charcoal has the surface area of 500 to 1500sq metres, and each particle of charcoal has millions of tiny airspaces. These spaces allow activated charcoal to adsorb many times its own weight of poisons, toxins and harmful chemicals and allowing them to be flushed from the body.

There are only 3 grades of charcoal that can be taken internally – coconut shell, bamboo, and untreated hardwood, such as teak

Activated Charcoal Poultices

Pure Eden Activated Charcoal powder can be made into a charcoal poultice, which can be then applied to various parts of the body, especially to treat infected areas like infections and bites.

The powder is mixed with either water or oil. We recommend linseed, coconut or olive oil to make a poultice for external use.

How to Make a Plain Activated Charcoal Poultice

Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of Pure Eden Activated Charcoal powder with a little water or oil to form a thick paste. It should be moist but not too crumbly or drippy.

Spread the paste on half of a paper towel, loosely woven cloth, or piece of gauze cut to fit the area treated. When ready the cloth should be moist, and thoroughly saturated with the paste.

Then cover the paste by folding over the other half of the paper towel or cloth.

Place the cloth on the infected area making sure it completely covers the area.

Cover the poultice with plastic (when available, plastic food wrap works well).

Cut to overlap the poultice by an inch on every side. This will prevent it from drying out. If the charcoal dries out it will not be able to adsorb.

Finish off by bandaging or taping the poultice securely in place.

Leave it on for several hours, or better yet, overnight.

Poultices can be left for up to 8 hours but once removed, please dispose of the cloth.

Use a fresh cloth if you need to re-apply.

Note:

Poultices of any kind only work if there is continuous moist contact with the skin
