Vegetable carbon is a very useful remedy to detoxify from possible food poisoning or poisoning caused for example by the ingestion of inedible mushrooms.
This so effective action is due to the porosity of the coal activated by the combustion procedure at very high temperatures, around 600 ° C, without the presence of flame of the wood and the like, and by the ex post treatment to which the coal thus obtained is subjected.
In fact vegetable charcoal has the prerogative of " adsorbing " and not only of absorbing: it means that through its porosity the toxicities are incorporated and retained, to then be transported in a mass unassailable by acids and brought up to the colon to be expelled .
In addition to this important anti-toxic effect, charcoal is also used to adsorb gastric and intestinal gases, due to malabsorption, gastritis, aerophagia, meteorism, but also to stop forms of diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal virus infections.
