“…thanks to Summer McCreless of Mothering Herbs, I can attest to the amazingness of activated charcoal! She’s got an activated charcoal balm that cleared up my ant bites in two days. They usually effect me for over a week, with inflammation, blisters, and weeping, itchy grossness. But after applying the activated charcoal balm, the itching stopped and swelling went down considerably, and the next day they were nearly gone. Amazing stuff I’ll carry with me everywhere!!” C.
