BINCHOTAN
CHARCOAL
WHITE WOOD

Activated carbon, microporous.

Naturally purifies water and removes chemicals and heavy metals found in tap water.

How does Binchotan charcoal work?

In the 20th century, scientists began to study the benefits of Binchotan and its properties, finding that it had a microporous structure. Through a process of adsorption (Retention on the surface of a solid of the molecules of a gas or a substance in solution or in suspension), by which the particles are attracted and adhere to the surface, the pores clean the environment by adsorbing gases from the atmosphere, electromagnetic waves and radio frequencies as well as chlorine and heavy metals in the water. The radiation is also weakened as it passes through Binchotan.

Binchotan creates "good energy" by giving off negative ions. Negative ions are atoms that carry a negative electrical charge that attracts positive ions in the air, such as carbon dioxide molecules . Excessive amounts of positive ions in the environment can affect respiratory function and cause fatigue.

Also known as White Charcoal, Binchotan Charcoal is a type activated charcoal which has been traditionally made for over 300 years by charcoal artisans in Kishu province in Wakayama, Japan.

HISTORY & MANUFACTURING

MANUAL

Handcrafted for over 300 years

Perfecting a technique that produced exceptionally pure charcoal, artisans in Kishu Province used Ubame oak that grew in the forested hills of Kishu, carefully and sustainably selecting clippings from the branches, piling them into large ovens built in the mountains, then burning them at low temperatures for several weeks to control the flow of oxygen. Finally, they raised the temperature inside the oven to over 1000 degrees and monitored the color of the smoke. Once clear, all impurities had been burned off.

How can Binchotan benefit your health?

The Binchotan whole sticks can be placed in water to purify it and remove chemicals and heavy metals found in tap water._cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_With a ratio of 30 grams per litre, Binchotan can be placed in a jar or bottle of water and left in the refrigerator overnight to purify and alkalize the water. Cet « alkalinizer » natural can be used for approximately three months before needing to be replaced, and can be boiled in water every two to three weeks to eliminate chemicals absorbed and refresh sticks.

Why put charcoal in the water?

This causes the tar contained in the pores to be released. The carbon then has adsorption capacities - and not absorption -, that is to say that, immersed in a liquid, this porous solid retains molecules in suspension on its surface. Binchotan is obtained from a wood endemic to southern Japan and its technique, which has remained artisanal, is more than 3 centuries old.
