How to treat allergy with activated charcoal?
Activated charcoal is taken against allergiesin 1.5 month courses. Courses are held in spring (starting from the beginning of April) and in summer. At least 2 courses are held per year (maximum - 4). For severe allergy symptoms (the first few days), charcoal is taken in the morning long before meals, at a rate of 1 tablet per 10-11 kg of body weight. The tablets should not be swallowed whole, they must be chewed or crushed and taken orally with water. The chewing method has a beneficial effect on the oral cavity and nasopharynx. After the allergy symptoms have passed or significantly decreased, you should continue taking charcoal, 1 tablet 2 times a day until the end of the course. Usually the effect appears after the first course. The main thing here is not to relax, and to prevent the disease from returning, you will need to take repeated courses at least 2 times a year. If you do not forget about this, the allergy can gradually disappear. Treating allergies with activated carbon should be done very carefully, not forgetting that vitamins, minerals, and other useful substances are adsorbed and excreted along with harmful substances. So long-term use can be harmful, so if you take carbon for a long time, then only in combination with multivitamins. Activated carbon can also provoke constipation. Activated carbon can also be used for allergies (for example, atopic dermatitis) in children. During a period of severe itching, you can offer 1 tablet to a child. Treatment of children should be approached with special caution, do not give the drug for more than 10 days in a row due to the same danger of losing vitamins. For children, during a period of intensive growth, a lack of vitamins is especially harmful, it can affect not only growth and development, but also the health of the baby.
In conclusion: is there an alternative?
The reception of such a seemingly harmlessof a drug such as activated carbon without clinical trials in the field of its use against allergies may be unsafe. So, think for yourself whether it is worth self-medicating, in the absence of supervision from a specialist, without clinical and biochemical tests, or maybe it is worth trusting a professional who will select a comprehensive treatment for you against allergies. Garlic can be a good alternative to activated carbon, having the same positive effect on the body, it also perfectly strengthens the immune system of the body, and does not cause constipation. Garlic is consumed 3 times a day, 1 clove at a time, having prepared a gruel from it: add 50 ml of water to one crushed clove of garlic. Garlic must be consumed after or during meals, so as not to damage the gastric mucosa.
