    Since my post on Activated Charcoal: Why No Mama Should Be Without It, there have been questions on how to actually make a charcoal slurry. Since it is true that ‘one picture is worth a thousand words’, I’m sharing this short, helpful video.

    How To Make A Charcoal Slurry

    6 minutes:

    I hope this helps dispel the fear of activated charcoal being messy! Just go slowly and stir it INTO a half glass of water. Finish by chasing the slurry with another glass of water.

    Activated charcoal is completely tasteless, but for a child you could mix in a teaspoon of honey or even sugar if it will help to get it down when you are working against the clock in a poisoning.

    Putting it in an opaque cup, covering it with plastic wrap, and using a straw would be one other way to make it easier for a child.

    Remember, too, if your patient is not unconscious and can swallow capsules, that makes it pretty easy.

    Fourteen (14) capsules (or 1 tablespoon) of charcoal powder is needed when a serious poisonings is suspected.

    How to administer activated charcoal as a slurry has been widely taught on the field in foreign countries where poisoning is common place.

    Many pet owners are also using activated charcoal. It can be a real life-saver when caught in time.

    It is my hope that all of you Mamas will stock activated charcoal in your medicine cabinet and a bottle of capsules in your car. Whether to stop an early case of food poisoning, halt a early stomach bug in its tracks, or as an antidote to an accidental poisoning, our home will never be without it.

    There are many uses for:

    • Occasional Acid Reflux
    • Indigestion
    • Stomach Upset

    Make A Charcoal Slurry

    Directions:

    It’s very simple.

    Just mix:

    • 1 teaspoon (if mild stomach upset, indigestion or acid reflux and NOT a poisoning)

    • or 1 Tablespoon (if suspected poisoning)

    ….of activated charcoal powder INTO a glass of water.

    Stir it gently until the charcoal is mixed in. Then just drink it down.

    This paper back book has lots of information for the use in so many applications:

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      I used charcoal years ago when I had chronic stomach problems,and it helped.
      I am going through some stressful times now . My stomach is starting to give me trouble. The prescription the doctor gave me is not helping. I’m going to try charcoal again.
      Thanks for reminding me about it.

      I wanted to let you know that another way to ingest the powdered charcoal is to add it to applesauce. That’s how we dosed the children for years (unless they were vomiting) until they got to the point that they’d rather drink it quickly and just be done with it. *smile* I also have a couple of charcoal book titles that I recommend to new charcoal users that I’d be happy to share with you if you’d like.

        Thank you, Amy! Would you be willing to share the names of the books here in comments? That would be very helpful!! I love the applesauce idea! I think the blackness bothers some children.

      Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Here are the 2 book titles.

      CHARCOAL REMEDIES.COM, By Dinsley
      The complete handbook of medicinal charcoal and its applications.

      RX: CHARCOAL, By Thrash
      Startling facts about the world’s most powerful clinical adsorbent

      Both books are very useful and although there is some overlap in information, they are quite different. I usually recommend the Thrash book to start with and if the person is serious about adding charcoal to their home medicine cabinet, I suggest they get the book by Dinsley as well.

      I first purchased activated charcoal to help with my dental health. After opening it for the first time & learning no matter HOW careful you are it is still messy. So I thought why not premix it with coconut oil in a sealed bowl. Is this okay for long term storage? 6-9mos? Do you know if it will retain its medicinal qualities for poisoning?

        Tasha, I get my AC in capsules, so haven’t experienced the ‘cloud’. I do believe it will if mixed with CO as CO is very, very, andtimicrobial. Also, I open my capsules for whitening my teeth with my stove vent set on ‘full’. All the dust goes outside! 😀
        Hope that helps!

      Thank you Jacqueline for all the useful content you put out including this good one about charcoal.
      I bought a some activated charcoal soaps recently and have been using them for the last 6 months. The soaps are black in color.
      I have dry skin with acne on upper arms and thighs. But after using this soap for a month I started to notice that my skin is a lot smoother. No acne at all now

        Annie! Hi! Good to hear from you!
        I love that you mentioned that! I will share this with a mother whose daughter is having serious acne issues!
        Thank you for sharing this with me and readers!
