The mucilage coats the linings of the digestive tract, soothes it, and promotes the expulsion of it's contents. It would be best taken an hour or two after the activated charcoal, so the a.c. has a chance to collect the toxins, before being expelled. Cinnamon is also incredibly mucilaginous, but I'm not sure of it's efficacy, in this application, since it's also a 'warm' spice. Not all mucillage is created equal. ;)
