Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is a form of carbon that has been processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase its surface area and make it highly absorbent. It's created by heating carbon-rich materials, such as wood, coconut shells, or coal, to very high temperatures in the presence of gases that "activate" it.Medical and Health Uses: It has been used medically for centuries as a treatment for poisoning and drug overdoses because it can bind to toxins and prevent their absorption into the bloodstream.
