When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! But why not take it a stage further and remove the sh*t as well?!

Here at JAYA® we always love a plant based solution to give our bodies a detox both IN and ON our skin. This inexpensive activated charcoal lemonade recipe will save you money and deliver fresher benefits to any shop bought detox drink alternative.

Activated charcoal has been used for centuries and is commonly used in everyday medicines for detoxifying. If you've ever had a dog who has eaten something they shouldn't have - if its a liquid, chances are the vet will have prescribed activated charcoal to help extract the toxins!
