The process behind the bamboo charcoal making is relatively straightforward.
Pieces of bamboo, which are taken from plants five years or older,
are burned inside an oven at temperatures over 800 degrees centigrade.
Bamboo charcoal has the following properties: |
| |
| Porous Structure |
Bamboo charcoal has countless small cavities. Compared with wood
charcoal, bamboo charcoal has about four times more cavities, 3
times more mineral constituent and 4 times better absorption rate.
In terms of surface area, bamboo charcoal's 300m2/gram is 10 ten
times more than wood charcoal's 30m2/gram.

| Supplier of Negative Ions |
Bamboo charcoal can generate a good amount of negative (more
precisely, negative-charged) ions, which have the property of giving
electrons to nearby matters while the charcoal adsorbs positive
ions. The air we breathe in is full of charged particles, and bamboo
charcoal gives electrons to such particles, making the air richer
in negative ions than in positive ions. Various experiences have
shown that air rich in negative ions makes us feel better.

| Warming Effect of Far Infrared Rays (FIR) |
A far infrared ray is a kind of electromagnetic waves and is
a radiated ray that is capable of warming matters. This ray is well
absorbed by organic matters, and the human body absorbs infrared
rays ranging in wavelength from 4 to 50µm. Because the infrared
rays emitted by bamboo charcoal range between 4 and 16µm,
the human body can take full advantage of any healthy effects of
bamboo charcoal’s infrared rays. The human body, upon being
exposed far infrared rays, warms up like under the sun, and its
blood circulation improves considerably.

| Electromagnetic (EM) Wave Dissipating Power |
EM waves are emitted by all sorts of electrical appliances and
electronic devices, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, cellular
phones, TV's, personal computers, gaming devices, etc. Studies have
shown that excessive amounts of EM waves may be harmful to the human
body, and it is conceivable that such phenomena may cause some illnesses
in the body.

| Oxidization Prevention |
| Oxidization is a process by which materials lose electrons. Bamboo charcoal works as an electron donor. As well as preserving foods, bamboo charcoal skin care products can preserve your skin by preventing oxidization. |

| Water Purifying Power of Microbes |
| A countless number of totally harmless microbes live inside the
pores of bamboo charcoal. In the course of water purification, these
microbes are capable of decomposing toxic substances like trihalomethane,
chlorine, etc. In addition, the purified water becomes like mineral
water as many minerals in the charcoal are dissolved. |
| |
| Humidity Regulator |
Bamboo charcoal can also be used around the house. Since bamboo
charcoal has a high density and is porous, it can be used to soak
or release moisture within the house, helping to maintain humidity
equilibrium. |
| |
| A Rich Source of Minerals |
During water purification processes, bamboo charcoal dissolves
its rich mineral contents into the water, so the purified water
becomes mineral-rich. |
