Charcoal
Activated charcoal is one of the most contested home remedies out there, and this is because some people overestimate and oversell the “detox” powers of this home remedy.
Activated charcoal is generally derived from coconut shells, and people have for a long time sung its praises as a way to remove and trap toxins from the body. While it is an ingredient used in natural and home remedies for bloating and constipation, that is where its powers stop.
A lot of doctors listen to their patients talk about how they eat activated charcoal to detox their bodies, and you should not be one of the people who both do and believe this hoax. Eating too much activated charcoal can cause severe dehydration and even internal obstructions that can put your life in danger!
The detox properties of this home remedy are not real, and you can have just as good a result if you start drinking water regularly and staying hydrated! Remember, “detoxing” is more often than not a marketing scam, as a person with a healthy diet has their liver to do all the detoxing the body needs.
Charcoal is best used in naturally treating bloating and gas, as well as stomach aches. This is one of the products we recommend for such issues!
