In Asia, the use of bamboo charcoal for health purposes is very popular. People in Japan, Korea, and China find the uses of bamboo charcoal to be very beneficial for many other uses too.
It was discovered that the porous structure of bamboo charcoal helps absorb bad stale air amongst many other benefits.
Bamboo charcoal is made by placing cut and dried bamboo stalks into a kiln. Cooked in high temperatures, the charcoal is then collected and cut into small pieces. The pieces have found their use in the health and beauty market.
The following benefits of bamboo charcoal include:
Removes odor from kitchens, shoes, and other places.
Extracts humidity from the air and turns it into negative ions.
It’s also useful in help absorb formaldehyde.
Also helps fight electromagnetic waves from electronic items. So it’s best to place bamboo charcoal near your computer and other electronic items.
It’s also recommended to add bamboo charcoal and water to a vase of cut flowers. This helps extend the life of the flower.
So far I have added bamboo charcoal to my potted plants (which are near my computer), and also to my flower pots outside. It’s only been 1 week since I’ve used it, so I can’t say if I’ve seen any improvements yet.
I have also put some bamboo charcoals in a basket and keep it in the bedroom. This is to help clean the air. I’m hoping it’s making some difference.
