Zen Activated Charcoal Review

I'm in a crunchy/natural mama group on Facebook and always see my friends posting fun photos of them using activated charcoal for facials and to whiten their teeth. So when I was offered the opportunity to try Zen Charcoal I jumped on it and finally decided to take the plunge and try this for myself. 

What benefits and uses are there with activated charcoal?

• whiten your teeth
• Add to your toothpaste to naturally whiten your teeth and relieve mouth pains
• relieve bug bites, burns, and wounds
• mix with water and put the paste on the injury
• healthy digestion
• mix with your drink to help with digestion and reduce bloating/gas
• healthy skin and hair
• mix with coconut oil and water to create a cream or paste
• accidental poisoning
• take with water after accidental poisoning or overdose

I used it to whiten my teeth and was very hesitant. Luckily it had no taste that I could tell and even the texture of the powder didn't bother me when brushing. This is a very fine powder and I found zero clumps in my bag when I opened it. I will recommend you be VERY careful when opening this bag. I ended up getting it all over my sink because it floated into the air and then settled on my sink. Oops.

I haven't used this as a facial just yet (my toddler was already freaked out enough by my black teeth when I was brushing HA!) but I hope to use it soon...I can't wait to see everything I can use this for. I'm pretty excited to try something new in my natural journey!

I did a video review of the product on YouTube. Don't get too excited, I didn't brush my teeth in the video. I just talked about the benefits and uses. Check it out here.

If you are interested in purchasing some for yourself then head on over to Amazon where it is on sale for $17.99 for a one pound bag.
