Activated charcoal is a potent natural antidote used to expel toxins and chemicals from the body, allowing them to be flushed out so the body doesn’t reabsorb them. It’s made from a variety of materials, such as coconut shells or other natural hardwood sources. The nooks and crannies in activated charcoal are created through a burning process, and is then subjected to the activation of an oxidizing gas, such as steam or air, at high temperatures.
It’s important to note that activated charcoal is not your regular barbecue grill charcoal! Barbecue charcoal is loaded with toxins and chemicals, and should never be consumed.

The bible tells us in Job 2:7, “So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.” Job was afflicted with boils or what we call today, inflammation. What did he do as a result of his health condition? Job 2:8 tells us, “And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.” Wow! ashes or in other words, charcoal; Job understood the powerful MEDICINAL benefits of activated charcoal for his condition.
