Naturally Purify the Air & Water in Your Home

Binchotan charcoal holds a special place in natural wellness. Capable of absorbing and filtering toxins with remarkable efficacy, individuals around the world have long utilized Binchotan charcoal to enjoy purer water, cleaner air, and healthier internal equilibrium. 

The secret to Binchotan charcoal’s toxin-absorbing and bacterial-neutralizing properties lies in its highly porous structure and chemical composition. Through “adsorption,” an array of chemicals and compounds bind with charcoal. Once the charcoal's micropores have bound with and trapped these toxins, the entire piece of charcoal can be safely discarded.

Since Binchotan charcoal’s surface area contains thousands of micropores, charcoal sticks can provide purifying benefits for up to three months. To maintain peak absorbency and flush impurities, it is best to wash and boil charcoal sticks for 10 minutes before use, as well as every 3-4 weeks to cleanse the pores and enhance charcoal efficacy.

How Can Binchotan Charcoal Benefit My Health?

Ideal for a cleaner pitcher, a breath of fresh air, or a healthier you, charcoal offers numerous benefits in addition to the potent adsorption process. Binchotan charcoal from the resilient Ubame oak tree is revered for: 

• Releasing beneficial minerals into water: Charcoal gradually infuses key nutrients such as calcium and magnesium into the water while soaking. Unlike other water filtration mediums that strip the water of precious minerals, the natural mineral infusion from charcoal promotes adequate hydration and a pleasingly softer and purer taste. 
• Enriching the ambiance with clarifying energy: Our Binchotan charcoal sticks serve as a delightful addition to any organic, minimalist, or mixed theme. Place charcoal sticks on your nightstand, near your workspace, or infuse your yoga or meditation space with an energizing natural shrine to focus the mind and clear the air with every wellness session. 
• Cleansing the natural way: Natural charcoal filtration makes replacing plastic filters and other wasteful filtration options possible. Binchotan charcoal removes an array of chemicals; from chlorine and bacteria to volatile organic compounds and many other harmful toxins, charcoal sticks are a wonderful addition to every pitcher of tap water. It's important to note, that despite the beneficial cleansing properties of charcoal sticks, additional filtration media are recommended if utilizing a non-potable water source.
• Reducing interior smells: The highly absorbent properties of charcoal promote freshness in any space. Place our charcoal sticks in the kitchen to reduce cooking odors. Decorate the restroom with a stash of stylish and stink-absorbing sticks. Use anywhere else you would like to refresh and purify!
