Bamboo Charcoal

Bamboo charcoal is made by heating bamboo in a kiln. At the same time it is possible to extract bamboo vinegar. Bamboo charcoal has a high porosity due to a high weight to surface area ratio of 1:600. That means every 1 gram of bamboo charcoal has a surface area of 600 square meters. Through a patented industrial process it is possible to make activated bamboo charcoal which has a weight to surface area of 1:1,200. This makes bamboo charcoal highly adsorbent and when it is made into bamboo charcoal soap it is highly effective in cleaning the pores of the skin. Washing with bamboo charcoal soap is an effective remedy for acne and eczema.

Bamboo charcoal is a smokeless and odorless fuel. It is also great in the home because it regulates humidity and gives off negative ions that help to counteract the harmful positive ions given off by electrical appliances in the home. Moreover, bamboo charcoal has been found to emit far infrared rays that are called the 'rays of life' because they speed up the metabolism and promote cell growth.

Finally, bamboo charcoal makes a great air freshener as it sucks all the odors from the air. It can also be bought in bags to put in the fridge or trash can to remove unpleasant smells.
