About Activated Charcoal Powder Activated Charcoal Powder clean and whiten your teeth. It detoxifies your body also. Key benefits and Uses of Activated charcoal powder are mention below : Amazing Benefits of Activated Charcoal Powder Here are some benefits of Activated Charcoal Powder! Whitens Teeth Have your teeth become stained from coffee, tea, wine or berries? For the many people wondering if activated charcoal whitens teeth, they’re in luck. Activated charcoal helps whiten teeth while promoting good oral health. It does this by changing the pH balance in the mouth, thereby helping to prevent cavities, bad breath and gum disease. It also works to whiten your teeth by absorbing plaque and microscopic tidbits that stain teeth. This activated charcoal use is cost-effective and an all-natural solution for a bright smile. According to research done by a professor of dentistry at King’s College London, “charcoal toothpastes may be found to help remove external (extrinsic) staining on teeth without negative abrasive effects.” She adds that toothpastes containing charcoal may be most effective when used to delay the recurrence of surface staining on intact teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing. But when you are using charcoal toothpastes, make sure to check the ingredients for unwanted additives. It’s also important to know that activated charcoal will only work on surface stains that its able to bind to, allowing it to pull the stains from your teeth. Skin and Hair The benefits of Activated Charcoal also apply externally. Topical application draws out toxins from the pores of the skin, balances oily skin and helps to combat acne. It also soothes and heals bites, stings and other skin irritations. Adding charcoal to a natural shampoo can gently detox the hair by attracting dirt and grease, without disrupting its natural moisture levels. Because Activated Charcoal pulls out dirt from deep in the hair, it removes residue leaving hair feeling lighter, shinier and bouncier. Face masks and skin cleansers Skin care products, like face masks and skin cleansers, may also be enhanced with activated charcoal. Although they likely won’t cause any problems, they probably won’t work any better than skin care products that don’t have activated charcoal. But charcoal masks products that contain glue have been found to cause scarring and peeling. And some charcoal skin products may have unknown ingredients that can cause skin irritation. Helps to relieve gas and bloating Many individuals suffer from digestive problems including gas and bloating after meals. If this is a common occurrence and becomes problematic, try using activated charcoal after eating. It works to bind together the elements in your meal that cause gas and bloating and helps you to eliminate them in the bathroom. Make sure to drink plenty of water with the activated charcoal and right after taking it to help get it into your system for quick relief. Anti-Aging Studies show that Activated Charcoal can actually prevent many cellular changes that are associated with aging. It helps to prevent cellular damage to the kidneys and liver and supports healthy adrenal glands. A healthy adrenal system is necessary to help the body manage stress – a well-known cause of premature aging. In one recent study, Activated Charcoal was shown to increase the average lifespan of older test animals by around 34 percent. It also slows the rate at which the brain becomes more sensitive to toxins. As people age, heavy metals and mycotoxins can build up and cause inflammation of the brain which inevitably leads to brain fog and “senior moments”. Activated Charcoal adsorbs (effectively neutralises) these compounds before they wreak havoc on the brain.
