How to Use / Preparation Guide

 

 

Internal Use (Detox Drink):

 

1. Add ¼ teaspoon of Black Charcoal Powder to 8–10 oz of water or herbal lemonade.
2. Stir or shake well; charcoal does not dissolve, so consistent mixing is important.
3. Drink immediately on an empty stomach or between meals.
4. Wait at least 1 hour before or after medications or supplements to prevent absorption interference.

 

 

As a Tea Alternative:

While charcoal is not a traditional “steeped” herb, it can be mixed with warm (not boiling) water — around 160°F — to activate and disperse more evenly.

 

Topical Use:

For face or body masks, mix 1 teaspoon with purified water, rose water, or aloe gel until a smooth paste forms. Apply for 10–15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

 

 

 

 

Best Time to Take

 

 

Morning or mid-afternoon on an empty stomach during cleansing or fasting phases.

Avoid taking it too close to meals, supplements, or prescription medications.

Holistic Insights

 

 

Black Charcoal corresponds with the Root Chakra (Muladhara) — the energy center linked to grounding, stability, and protection. Using it mindfully during detox rituals can aid in emotional release and energetic purification, helping clear stagnation from both the body and aura.
