When it comes to healing or curing yourself activated charcoal has few equals. When it comes to popularity it almost below all the natural remedies. One health reformer in the 1800s even suggested a name change for people missing out on the benefits of this amazing natural remedy.
From the book God's Healing Way, Dr. McNeilus MD, the author gives the following based on her experiences as some of the ways you can cure or heal or treat yourself from various ailments using charcoal.
1. Nausea and vomiting
Charcoal is very effective for nausea and vomiting. Give the full adult dose 1 to 2 large spoonfuls in ½ glass of water each time vomiting occurs. (For a child use ½ the adult dose.) If the charcoal is vomited, give another dose immediately. Always follow the dose of charcoal with a full glass of water.
2. Intestinal gas or bloating
Charcoal relieves intestinal gas or bloating. Take 1 to 2 large spoonfuls of charcoal in 1/2 glass of water as needed to control symptoms.
3. Eye and ear infections
Infections of the eyes and ears can be treated with a charcoal poultice. Put the poultice over the infected eye or ear, and leave it in place for at least 4 hours or overnight. Applying heat to the poultice increases its effectiveness.
4. Skin and joint infections
Infections of the skin and the joints can be treated with a charcoal poultice. Leave the poultice on for several hours or overnight.
5. Bee stings and spider bites
Directions for treating
- Submerge the bitten area in cool charcoal water for 30 minutes to one hour. Prepare the cool charcoal bath with 1/2 cup of charcoal in 8 liters (2 gallons) of water.
- After soaking in cool charcoal water, apply a charcoal poultice.
For single bee stings and inflamed mosquito, ant, or chigger bites, apply a charcoal poultice directly over the affected area. For severe allergic reactions to a bee sting, change the poultice every 10 minutes for one hour. Then leave a charcoal poultice in place for 8 hours or until pain and swelling are gone. multiple bee stings and venomous spider, scorpion, or insect bites are as follows:
6. Snake bites
If pain and swelling occur within 10 minutes of a poisonous snakebite, venom has entered the body.
- Immediately wash the bite area thoroughly with soap and water. Submerge the bitten area in cool charcoal water for 30 minutes to one hour (1/2 cup of charcoal to 8 liters or 2 gallons of water).
- Apply a very large charcoal poultice covering almost the entire extremity that has been bitten. Center the poultice directly over the bite. Keep the poultice moist by covering it with plastic. Remove the old poultice and place a new poultice over the snakebite every 10 to 15 minutes until swelling and pain are gone.
- Take charcoal powder by mouth as well. Take about 2 large spoonfuls in 1/2 glass of water every 2 hours for 3 doses, then 1 small spoonful every 4 hours for the next 24 hours. Each charcoal dose should be followed by 2 glasses of water. Immediately wash the area of the bite or sting thoroughly with soap and water
7. Jaundice in the newborn
If the newborn baby is very yellow, give a small spoonful of charcoal stirred in enough water to pass through a nipple every 2 to 3 hours. Place the undressed baby in the sunlight before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m. (avoid hot, midday sun to prevent burning the skin). Cover the baby's eyes to protect them from the sun's rays. Continue treating the infant until the jaundice decreases or disappears.
8. Liver and kidney disease
Charcoal can benefit people with diseases of the liver and kidneys including liver or kidney failure. Give charcoal by mouth to help prevent toxins from accumulating in the body. Apply a large charcoal poultice to the mid-back for kidney disorders and to the abdomen for liver disorders.
9. Toothaches and gum infections
For gum infections, mix charcoal powder with enough water to make a paste. Brush the charcoal paste between the infected gums and the teeth. Leave the charcoal on the gums all night. Rinse the teeth and gums in the morning. For toothaches, spread the charcoal paste on a piece of gauze; roll up the gauze and place it between the cheek or tongue and the infected tooth.
