Can I Reactivate My Charcoal? Do I just put it in the sun, but for how long?

Can I reactivate my charcoal? The simple answer is yes, activated charcoal can be regenerated and of course people are interested in knowing how. First, let’s start at the beginning as to how charcoal is activated. How is Charcoal Activated ? There are two basic methods of activation – steam or chemical activation.

MD Uses Activated Charcoal For A Nasty Rash

Activated Charcoal for a Strange Rash On April 28th, 2020, I noticed my Dad favoring his arm, and upon closer inspection realized that he had a rash that covered much of his forearm. The rash was moist, red and itched. My Dad is a medical doctor (general practitioner), and he had been applying antibiotics prior to this to no avail. He isn’t sure what caused the rash, but noted that it appeared within one or two days after treating his first COVID patient. The poor lady would eventually succumb to the illness. According to the COVID symptom study, as many as 20 percent of COVID cases involve skin rashes as […]

Activated Charcoal Poultices relieves Chronic Constipation

Leea’s mom discovers activated charcoal as a powerful natural remedy for her little girl’s serious constipation symptoms. Leea has been suffering with chronic constipation since she was two.

A Response to “Activated Charcoal for Sunburns”

A Reader’s Insight Alex writes in to debate a recent testimony on using activated charcoal for sunburns. I love activated charcoal, but this story should be deleted immediately. With what mechanism is activated charcoal helping with a sunburn? AC adsorbs chemicals, it does not “suck heat” out of anything… The human body responds to too much sun by sending immune cells to repair DNA damage. There’s nothing there on your skin that you would want AC to adsorb anyways (no chemicals, no bacteria etc), just let the human body repair itself. Moisturize if you’d like… Charcoal House’s Response Hello Alex, Thank you for your response to the post on Activated […]

Activated Charcoal for Sunburns

Jeanie from Charcoal House reported to work on Monday after spending the weekend on the ranch branding her family’s Cattle out in the sun. Her arms were sun-burnt and tender to the touch after a long day’s work, not to mention physically exhausted from checking the cattle over during the process of branding. Coming inside for the day and longing for relief, it dawned on her, since activated charcoal is used for many first aid applications, such as burns and wounds of various types, why not use it for her sunburn…. But how? Activated Charcoal Soak Being that her whole body was fatigued, Jeanie figured it made the most sense […]
