Activated Charcoal

Alkaline Essentials

For those who don’t know, this is not charcoal for cooking. Activated charcoal is used to help treat poisoning, or drug overdose. It will help your digestive system get rid of the toxins. Great lifesaver in the wilderness for sure, but it is useful in the home as a temporary cure before rushing to the emergency room. Activated charcoal is a fine black powder made from bone char, peat, coal, sawdust, coconut shells, etc. It is activated by processing it at very high temperatures. Good to have as a fallback to medicines for poison.
