It seems like it would be so normal to turn on your kitchen faucet to get a glass of water. After all, you bathe in it, brush your teeth with it, and use it to make your coffee, right? Unfortunately, getting a glass of water from your kitchen faucet is like pouring a cocktail of chemicals. Lead, arsenic, the “forever chemicals” known as PFAS and many other substances are often found in drinking water at potentially unsafe levels.
Charcoal has many benefits including the ability to pull toxins from the body.
Charcoal is very effective at detoxifying the body. It is the agent used in the Emergency Room for overdoses caused by drugs and alcohol. It can be used to help rid the GI system of unwanted toxins as well as pull toxins from the tissues.

It is particularly helpful to take when drinking alcohol
Dirty Mouth Toothpowder contains three different clays (bentonite, white kaolin and french green) because these clays contain the minerals your teeth need to remineralize and stay strong. For the Black formula, charcoal is added to whiten the teeth- but does not contain minerals therefore will not improve the structural integrity of your enamel.
