Charcoal for Skin Aging
Activated charcoal is a form of carbon, which is oxidized. Activated charcoal is fine, black, odorless and tasteless powder. It is made from wood or other natural material, which is exposed to very high temperature in an airless environment. It is then treated or activated to increase its adsorbent capacity by reheating it with an oxidizing gas or other chemical to break it into fine powder. It is pure carbon specially processed to make it highly adsorbent to the various gases and particles in the digestive system. It has been used since ancient times to cure a variety of ailments including poisoning. It is mostly used to treat poisoning as it prevents the absorption of poison in the human body. It is also useful for treating diarrhea and gases. It is also used to clear skin wounds and prevent the absorption of harmful substances in the gastrointestinal tract. The charcoal is also effective in animals like rats, dogs, rabbits and other animals. Application of this powder mixed in water may help eradicate pain and itching from bites and stings. It shows some anti aging properties in rats, but it is doubtful whether it works for humans. Though it is useful it is not recommended as we are not sure about the side effects.
