   • Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and water.
   • Stir well until the charcoal is fully dissolved in the liquid. If you’re using honey, add it now and stir again until it’s well mixed.

   • Serve immediately and enjoy your detox drink.

What Happens When You Mix Charcoal with Lemon:

• Detoxification: Activated charcoal is known for its ability to bind toxins and chemicals in the body, aiding in detoxification. Lemon juice, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, supports the immune system and helps detoxify the liver.
• Digestive Aid: The combination can help alleviate bloating and gas, as activated charcoal absorbs gases and lemon juice stimulates digestion.
• Skin Health: Drinking this mix might improve skin clarity, as both ingredients work to remove impurities from the body.

Note:

• This drink should be consumed in moderation. Activated charcoal can interfere with the absorption of certain medications and nutrients, so it’s best to drink it a few hours before or after taking medications or meals.
• Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding new detox drinks to your routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
