Over a long life, a huge amount of “waste” accumulates in the human body, which, unfortunately, is not always completely eliminated. Therefore, they need to help leave the body and normalize their intestines. Methods of cleansing the intestines can be enumerated indefinitely, and one of the most popular was the cleansing of the body with activated charcoal.
When cleansing the body with activated carbon, you need to know that this is one of the safest ways. It can be used without a doctor’s prescription and practically does not lead to side effects. This method of cleansing the body was known to the Egyptians, and was also widely used in Russia. But over time and the advent of many other ways to get rid of harmful substances, he faded into the background.
In what first-aid kit there is no activated charcoal, because it is one of the main assistants for stomach pains. Cleaning with this adsorbent is especially useful for residents of large cities, as well as in case of industrial accidents.
To begin the procedure of cleansing the body should be weighed in order to know your weight exactly. It is on the basis of weight that the amount of the drug is calculated. For every ten kilograms of body weight, only one tablet of activated carbon is needed. The main thing is no more, otherwise you can do harm.
Continued cleansing of the body with activated carbon is necessary for two weeks. It is recommended to take tablets in the morning and in the evening. Grind the tablets into powder and drink with water. Throughout the entire period of the procedure should refrain from fatty and other junk food, eliminate the use of alcohol. Do not combine cleansing with the use of other drugs, since activated carbon will negate all the healing properties of the drugs.
Diet for bowel cleansing should mainly be based on products that will enrich the body with beneficial bacteria and vitamins. Cereal bread, cereals, vegetables and fruits will be useful. Sour-milk products or special drinks with milk bacteria will also be useful.
Cleansing the body with activated charcoal, with all its pluses, also has disadvantages. Since coal is a very powerful sorbent and attracts not only harmful bacteria, but also useful substances. This can lead to "dryness" of the body. The most cautious should be people with heart disease, as there is a likelihood of a violation of the potassium-calcium balance, which can even lead to death. Also, this cleansing should not be applied to people who have individual intolerance to the drug. In case of peptic ulcers, as well as in the presence of bleeding in the digestive organs, the use of activated charcoal is strictly prohibited.
Increasing the dose of activated carbon, more than the scheme, can lead to negative consequences. This can provoke a violation of the coordinated work of your gastrointestinal tract, the absorption of nutrients from food. Mucosal erosion can also be triggered. Some of the side effects may be diarrhea or constipation, and a toxic effect (vomiting, nausea) can be caused. During the procedure, you should drink plenty of clean water, at least two liters per day. Water will help the body get rid and remove harmful substances. At the end of the cleansing procedure, you should take a vitamin complex.
It should be remembered that cleansing the body with activated charcoal is best done on the recommendation of a doctor. After all, self-medication may not be useful, and even vice versa cause harm. Before starting any action, weigh everything well and only then act.
