According to Paypa in Healing Wonders of Charcoal,
Charcoal is defined as an Amorphous, porous form of carbon made by the destructive distillation of almost carbonaceous material such as wood, coconut shells, animal bones or corn cobs.
The most important work of charcoal powder in the treatment of diseases is the adsorption of chemical substances that are harmful to the body like germs, viruses, toxins, wound secretions, and other product of infections.
Charcoal does not absorb but it adsorbs substances. To adsorb means to take up, hold on, or spread out on the surface of the molecules. Charcoal works like a magnet. It collects foreign substances around itself, bonding them all together and disposes of them through the excretory system. (2006)
Foreign Literature
Common charcoal is made from peat, coal, wood, coconut shell, or petroleum. “Activated charcoal” is similar to common charcoal, but is made especially for use as a medicine. (
