So many uses and great to have on hand
This stuff is awesome. I have been using charcoal and coconut for different things, so it is nice to find a product that combines the two into one for more benefits. Usually I have charcoal capsules on hand to take in times of tummy upset and if I needed to, I could encapsulate this powder with veggie caps I keep on hand. There are such a wide array of uses for this versatile product and someday I will get to trying most of them. But for now, my family uses it for teeth brushing and as a detox/tummy soothing drink. There are some recipes right on the bag that explain how to use as a facial mask, detox lemonade, and simply adding teaspoon to a glass of water to help with stomach upset, bloating, and other digestive issues. We have been maxing the detox lemonade and to my surprise, my eleven and fourteen year old boys will drink it because they know it is good for them. We make it about once a week, sometimes two. The recipe is simple and we had everything on hand including fresh lemons. The drink looks almost black in color, but is more palatable than it looks. It has a little bit of grittiness, but not too bad. Another way we use it, is as a tooth powder. That is pretty self-explanatory, but the best advice I could give is to put a small amount in the tiniest plastic container and keep near your toothbrush, so when you are brushing your teeth, you aren't having to fiddle with the big bag, risking a messy spill. Wet the toothbrush and dip it in the powder. As others have suggested, you may want to brush with water and floss after brushing with the charcoal powder.<br />I received this item at a discount for an honest and impartial review.
