Birch Charcoal

“I love Birch charcoal, and I find it not as strong as Kohlbitr activated charcoal. If I run out of my own Kohlbitr supply, then I will switch to Birch charcoal.

Birch charcoal is ideal for those with sensitive digestion, those who want to try a different type of charcoal and those who like to switch back and forth.” ~ David “Avocado” Wolfe

Philosopher and Seer Rudolf Steiner on Birch Charcoal:

In 1920, philosopher Rudolf Steiner (founder of Biodynamic Farming and Waldorf Education) stated the following:
If you want to further enhance the [detoxification] process, you can take the mineral aspect of the birch’s development by producing charcoal from birch wood. Then you get therapeutic forces that work in a strong internal and external way on the outside of the human interior — that is, on the intestines…
