Description

Used since the Edo period of the 17th century, Binchotan charcoal is a multipurpose and completely natural material made from ubame oak. A high temperature burning process is required to activate its properties by creating numerous microscopic cavities across the surface. Widely recognized as the highest quality activated charcoal for absorbing chemicals in water, it can also be used to enrich garden soil, remove toxins from the skin, eliminate odors from the air, and stimulate blood circulation by adding it to hot bath water. This Binchotan Charcoal is reusable, recyclable, all-natural, and produced in the Wakayama region, Japan.

Product description

Specifications

Material: Japanese oak charcoal
Size: 0.25 lb bag. Each bag includes an assortment of charcoal pieces of various sizes.

Directions:

Binchotan naturally removes chlorine and heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, as well as re-mineralizing with calcium, potassium, magnesium and others. Simply add one stick to a medium sized container of water, and for best results, let sit for 6-8 hours. The charcoal will absorb toxins, and the result is exceptionally clean, crisp tasting water. Binchotan can last up to four months.
Once a month: boil sticks of Binchotan charcoal in a shallow pan of water for 10 minutes. This will allow its pores to open which facilitates the absorption and filtration of toxins.
After 4 months: After boiling, add stick to water, and check to see that a fine layer of bubbles forms. When a fine layer no longer appears, the Binchotan charcoal has reached its capacity as a filter. Do not discard, it’s still valuable! The Binchotan charcoal stick can be added to soil or compost to neutralize, condition and re-mineralize. It also makes an excellent air deodorizer!
