Question: I have (amalgam) metal dental fillings in my teeth from the seventies. Is activated charcoal safe to brush with? ~Jermaine Answer: Yes, it is!

Also, activated charcoal powder, or at least our activated charcoal powder, such as the Detox & Cleanse (USP grade, made from organic coconut shell) or the Ultra Fine Culinary is less abrasive than the leading toothpastes, if that was your concern as well. The very best charcoal for brushing teeth that have mercury amalgams, […]

Using Activated Charcoal after teeth extraction. Hi, Is it safe/beneficial to brush with activated charcoal after a tooth extraction? I’ve had two bottom left molars extracted two weeks ago.

Using Activated Charcoal for Cold Sores. Cold Sores Question: Hello I’m writing to you because I had read somewhere about activated charcoal being useful against cold sores, amongst other things. I have taken powdered charcoal for years, internally, when I feel poorly or have eaten out at a restaurant and have been unsure how ‘healthy’ the food was. However, I’ve been without cold sores for many years so I’ve never used it for this. I have a rather big cold sore just come up yesterday and I have to be on camera for a presentation, this Thursday. Previously with cold sores, I have used neat lavender essential oil to dry […]
