Loved by countless Just For Tummies customers over many years, our tried and tested 5-day Charcoal cleanse is a simple yet highly effective way to reset your gut and refresh your digestive system. After the indulgences of summer, or just to ensure your digestive system is in top shape for the months ahead, this seasonal cleanse helps sweep away accumulated waste and toxins, leaving your tummy feeling lighter, more balanced, and ready for the season. It’s no wonder so many of our community swear by it!
This is how Sharon felt about the results of her cleanse:
As we move into autumn, this is the perfect time to give your tummy a little extra care, especially around the time of a new moon (the next one being October 7th), which is considered an ideal time to release what no longer serves us and start afresh.
Why cleanse the digestive system?
Over time, our digestive tract can accumulate toxins, gases, and waste materials that may leave us feeling sluggish, bloated, or uncomfortable. A short cleanse can help sweep away this build-up, allowing your gut to function more efficiently, improving energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing.
Why activated charcoal?
Charcoal has been used as a natural remedy for centuries – from ancient Egypt and Ayurveda through to modern medicine – thanks to its powerful ability to bind and absorb unwanted substances in the gut. It acts like a sponge, drawing out impurities, easing trapped, painful gas and bloating, and leaving your tummy feeling lighter and more balanced.
How to carry out the cleanse
- Take two Charcoal capsules half an hour before lunch, and two more half an hour after eating.
- Repeat the same dosage at dinner time.
- Continue for 5 days.
- Don’t be alarmed if your stools go very dark, even black – this is completely normal during the cleanse.
When you receive your pot of Charcoal capsules, please follow these instructions rather than the printed label on the packaging.
A few important notes
- In rare cases, charcoal can slow down bowel movements as it does its ‘deep clean’. If you have a naturally sluggish bowel, you may want to use a gentle natural laxative during the cleanse or consider booking a colon hydrotherapy treatment on the final day for extra support. You can find registered and regulated colon hydrotherapists here: Association of Registered Colon Hydrotherapists and here: https://rictat.org/.
