Charcoal is not just a cooking aid. There are other amazing benefits you are missing from this vital product:
1. Preventing odor
If your shoes smell, simply get some charcoal and put it inside. If the smell is in your room, put the charcoal powder where you suspect the smell to come from. Be it body odor, the fridge or any other place, the procedure is the same. Then thank us later.
2. Keeps your food fresh
Make a charcoal solution and leave the sukumawiki or dhania in it. Amazing preservation!
3. Removal of toxins from food
Charcoal is a strong detoxicant. Don't just complain that the food we eat has too many chemicals due to fertilisers and other preservatives. When you leave your food in a strong charcoal solution overnight, much of these are removed.
4. Teeth whitening
Grind the charcoal into powder and use this powder on your toothbrush to brush in the normal way. Repeat this exercise over time.
5. Healing wounds
Is there someone in the family whose wounds are so severe doctors want to cut away the areas affected? Worry not.Make some charcoal powder and pour it over the entire affected area. The charcoal will take up all the toxins in the wound and begin a healing process.It also works on a simple cut or wound that you want to heal faster.
6. Water filtration
If you feel your water is contaminated, drop some amount of charcoal in it. Never worry much about the colour because it is safe. You can even chew a piece of charcoal and nothing will happen. It is safer than chicken from KFC.
7. Stain Removal
Use charcoal for that stubborn stain in your kitchen tiles. Use the thick powder solution.
8. Treating bloated stomach
If you took something and now your stomach is full of gas, say no more.
