Review (5/5): Has multi uses
This is just something I wanted to try out for whiter teeth, since mine are too sensitive for the chemical whiteners on the market or even a good dental whitening. After the first couple days use my teeth were shinier & slightly not as stained. I'm not expecting dramatic results over night.
One big issues I had with my gum was an abscess that was hard getting rid of with antibiotics (8 days, 1500 mg a day) but after 3 days of packing this on the gum where the abscess was it cleared up (after the antibiotics ran out & the pain was still there). I wasn't expecting this product to clear out the rest of a gum infection, but it did.
Some of the others uses I have found for this are as a facial wash (quarter size amount of castor oil & a tsp of charcoal make a good facial), for insect stings (gets rid of the itching), cuts, the list goes on.
I thought the price was expensive at first, but compared to some of the other brands this one has less ingredients, also a better quality of them. I'm not disappointed.
To use this as a toothpaste is very messy & I still have not mastered how not to get it all over the sink or myself when brushing, but that's ok. It does clean up easy. There is no taste or smell, just a gritty feeling to the charcoal.
Don't expect miracles over night though, because as with all natural products they lack the chemicals that provide extreme results in a short amount of time. Natural products take time to work with repeated uses.
