Activated Charcoal and Athletes

Athletes have to stay on top of their game at all times. Activated charcoal has amazing natural properties to keep everyone’s body working the way it was created to. Whether we are talking about an athlete’s diet or nutrition, training, or anything in between, it’s all considered in keeping them ready to compete.

Diet and Nutrition

Water purification

It is always essential to put the best into our bodies, there is no better substance to keep you hydrated than the purist water. Adding our Detox 1600 by the teaspoon to your water glass or bottle will allow the impurities to be adsorbed and you will gain other benefits from drinking the blackened water. Taking charcoal internally is an easy natural way to cleanse your body. It also reduces bloating, eases nausea and stomach upsets, reduces acid and gas, and aids in eliminating inflammation. Detox your water and your body the natural way.

Recovery

Sprains and Muscle Soreness

A detox bath is a soothing approach to the overall recovery process. Just 20 minutes can speed recovery by drawing the toxins from your body. Therefore reducing pain and inflammation in the joints and muscles. Simply add a half a cup of Hardwood Charcoal Powder to a jar with a tight fitting lid and water, then give it a good shake. Next, pour the mixture into warm running bath water. Now set back and soak for a minimum of 20 minutes. When you’re done scrub the charcoal off in the shower. Use a nice exfoliating scrub or loofah with your favorite body wash. You should feel renewed and replenished. Adding Epsom salts and essential oils is optional but also a nice touch.

Charcoal patches are a great way to treat an isolated problem area. Patches aid in the recovery of sore muscles and sprains. Charcoal House offers two types of patches. Both work in the same manner and both are infused with menthol. Menthol is great for added stimulation, which increases circulation to the affected area.
