Charcoal powder is a product of burnt wood, coconut and peanut shells, and olive pits. Activated charcoal manufactured through a dual heating process known as “carbonization” or “roasting”, which activates its therapeutic potentials. Among other effects, the heating process imbues it with higher porosity, significantly expanding its absorption capacity.
The process enables the charcoal to store up more particles of gases liquids and gels without letting them breakdown its inner core structure.
How Activated Charcoal Works
Its wide range of therapeutic effects is as a result of three main characteristics: active principle, pure carbon, and a relatively large contact surface.
These characteristics empower a robust absorption mechanism that soaks up molecules such as those of impurities and dead body cells. As such, it can serve as an excellent detoxifier for the human body.
Active charcoal made from burnt coconut shells has high absorption capacity with clean-cut pores that absorb the tiniest molecules of gases and toxins. These types of charcoal power can have absorption capacities that are up to 25 times greater than the average.
