Whitens teeth
Charcoal helps remove teeth stains which you might have gotten from drinking coffee or eating greasy foods. It whitens teeth by adsorbing plaque and microscopic tidbits that from the teeth. Use two to three times per week.

Treat alcohol poisoning
When taken, activated charcoal can alleviate upsets from the acidity of alcohol and could prevent hangovers.

Glowing skin
Activated charcoal treats skin conditions like rashes when applied to the skin over time.

Face mask

Digestive cleanse
Activated charcoal can be used to cleanse the system. Take 10 grams 90 minutes prior to each meal, for two days. Be sure to drink enough water during this period, and also eat lots of greens.

Anti-Ageing
Due to its cleansing effect, activated charcoal benefits major organs by helping the body flush out the toxins and chemicals that cause the damage. These toxins tend to age the human system faster, but the cleansing effect of the activated charcoal detoxifies and reduces the ageing effect.
