Eggshells: benefits and harms, how to take them. The price of an eaten egg: the harm and benefits of eggshells How to prepare calcium from egg shells

Everyone knows that we need calcium for bones and teeth. But the role of calcium does not end there. We need calcium for good blood clotting, for the transmission of nerve signals, for muscle contractions and for regulating heart rate.
Our body does not produce calcium on its own. But we lose it every day - with skin cells, with nails, hair, sweat, urine, etc. If there is a deficiency, calcium is taken from the bones of the body.
There are many food sources of calcium for our body.
But today I want to focus specifically on eggshells.
Why eggshells?
Eggshells are one of the best natural sources of calcium.
Eggshells are mainly calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is also found in oyster shells and animal bones. But the mentioned (last two) sources of calcium carbonate are inferior to eggshells, since they usually contain a larger amount heavy metals. And the calcium contained in eggshells is one of the best forms of calcium after milk. I want to say right away that if you think that you will get all the calcium with milk, then you should take into account the quality of the milk and you need to: a) look at what the cow ate and where - now they are fed soybeans and corn, and this does not give the milk much nutritional value , don’t even expect any decent content of vitamins and mineralsb) be sure to avoid commercially produced milk. To digest butter fat we need calcium. During the metabolism of milk, one fat molecule “sticks” to two calcium molecules. As a result, you can even harm yourself, since calcium will be sucked out of reserves (bones, nails, teeth) only in order to absorb this milk.
(Please do not confuse commercially produced milk with homemade unpasteurized milk (which I happily drink every day) - the story is completely different there.)
In general, I always pay attention not just to the amount of any vitamin that is indicated on the label, but to how effectively my body can absorb it. Calcium is now added to many products, but this does not mean that your body will receive any benefit from it (more information about the bioavailability of vitamins can be found here “These vitamins are dangerous to your health”). Eggshells contain balanced calcium, which is closer to the microchemistry of our body, therefore it is absorbed and digested easier and better.
In addition to calcium, eggshells contain as much as 30! other minerals (magnesium, copper, boron, silicon, manganese, iron, zinc and others.)
So, to prepare natural, healthy and bio-digestible calcium, we only need an ordinary eggshell. The eggs can be from any bird, the main thing is that they are as homemade as possible, natural, organic, cage-free, preferably their food is organic, without soy and GMOs. The better the bird's food, the more useful it will be in the eggshell.
How to make calcium from eggshells(watch the video or read the text for more details and details)



1. Rinse shell under water. We leave the white film (!) - it also contains a lot of useful substances.
2. Next boil shells in water for 5-10 minutes. This kills bacteria.
3. Dry. In the sun, in fresh air, on a tray, on a towel - it doesn’t matter.

4. Grind as small as possible! in a coffee grinder, blender, food processor, etc. Of all the possible devices, I still recommend using a coffee grinder - it grinds very finely. First, the shell should be broken a little with your hands, and then ground.
I don't have a coffee grinder (blender, food processor)
It's okay, this is not the only way to grind the shells. You can put it in a plastic bag and mash it with a rolling pin. Powder will accumulate at the bottom of the bag.
To make it convenient to take, I make calcium capsules.

I take these capsules from iherb - they are a good size and easy to swallow.

I leave the other part of the crushed shell in powder form - it can be used for face and body scrubs, mixed with oils.

How much calcium should I take?
1 medium egg shell = approximately 1 tsp. powder = 700-800 mg calcium.
Most people need about 400 mg of calcium per day.
That is, approximately 1/2 teaspoon per day. But the intake should be divided into 2 parts of 1/4 tsp each, since our body is able to absorb no more than 500 mg of calcium at a time.
For pregnant women, the dose is twice as large, for children - half as much.
And here again there is no standardized data, it all depends on your diet!!! If you drink a couple of glasses of raw milk or eat canned sardines, soups, and traditional bone broths throughout the day, your intake will be significantly lower. Depending on what you ate during the day, you may not need any additional calcium at all. So first of all, listen to your body!

When to take calcium?
Should be taken with food and in the morning for better absorption. And remember that calcium is best absorbed with vitamins D and A, which are found in coconut oil, liver, fermented cod oil, butter and other products.
And don’t forget about vitamin C, it also significantly improves the absorption of calcium.
Calcium citrate is better suited for those who have any problems with gastrointestinal inflammation or some other imbalances that block calcium absorption. The advantage of calcium citrate is that it does not have to be taken with food, as it is already better absorbed.

How to make calcium citrate?

The principle is simple - use lemon juice (acid) and dissolve calcium from the shell.
Option 1
1. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of crushed eggshells with freshly squeezed (! always fresh, otherwise the reaction may not work) juice of half a lemon.
The mixture will begin to bubble.
2. Leave the mixture at room temperature for 6 - 12 hours (but no more than 12).
Take 1/2 - one teaspoon with water.
Option 2
1. Soak one clean whole raw home-made egg completely in freshly squeezed lemon juice. Preferably in glass containers.
2. Cover lightly and refrigerate for 48 hours. Shake the container several times a day until bubbles form.
3. Remove the egg after about 48 hours, when the mixture stops bubbling.
Take 1/2 teaspoon (and a little more) once a day.
Option 3
1.Soak 3 clean whole raw eggs completely in freshly squeezed lemon juice. It is most convenient to use a glass jar with a lid.
2. Screw the jar lid on tightly and refrigerate for 48 hours. Shake the container several times a day until bubbles form.
3. Once the mixture stops bubbling, remove the eggs. You will need to remove it very carefully. You can even eat the eggs later.
Liquid, i.e. the resulting calcium citrate, take 1/2 - 1 teaspoon per day. You should start with a small dose and gradually increase.
Option 4 - for the really lazy
1. Take 1/2 teaspoon of our crushed eggshell powder
2. Add 2-3 drops of lemon juice and swallow. All
Option 5 - for the very, very lazy :) or urban ones - take ready-made calcium citrate on iherb
My personal choice falls on Solgar Calcium Citrate - I just trust them a lot.
Magnesium should be taken at the same time as calcium. Proportion 1:1 or 2:1. Why and why - I'll tell you next time.

An evaluation of the importance of gastric acid secretion in the absorption of dietary calciumhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC425063/Gastric Acidity, Atrophic Gastritis, and Calcium Absorptionhttp://onlinelibrary. wiley.com/

Dear readers, have you ever thought that about 600 billion eggs are eaten on the planet every year? How many eggshells are then thrown away? But eggshells, as a source of calcium, can bring enormous health benefits. Even some traumatologists recommend using it. I think that many do not even suspect that the shell chicken eggs can be used not only for bone fractures. That's what we'll talk about in this article.

Eggs, as a human food product, due to their availability, have been used as food since ancient times. The most common eggs for food are chicken eggs, although eggs of other birds and even reptiles can be eaten.

Currently, chicken eggs are still most often found on our table. We prepare all kinds of dishes from eggs, as they have a rich mineral and vitamin composition, as well as good calorie content. I wrote about this in detail in my article “”, it turns out that on every second Sunday of October this holiday is celebrated all over the world.

Almost everyone now knows that calcium is necessary for the body. According to scientists, it is contained here in an easily digestible form and therefore cannot be deposited in the form of kidney stones.

The shell of bird eggs consists of 93 percent calcium carbonate, and this calcium carbonate, unlike chalk, is absorbed almost one hundred percent due to the fact that the bird’s body has already undergone synthesis from organic to inorganic calcium.

The chemical composition of eggshells is not limited to calcium alone. It contains over 20 of the most useful and essential minerals and trace elements. Particularly important is the content of silicon and molybdenum, which are very necessary for biochemical reactions in the body and which we do not get in our everyday food. It contains a lot of magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, iron, etc.

In addition to minerals and trace elements, there are amino acids essential for the body - methionine, cystine, lysine, isoleucine.

If such a composition is synthesized artificially, it will not bring the same benefits, unlike eggshells. By the way, it is much safer, and most importantly, it is easier for the human body to assimilate what is already balanced by nature itself.

Egg shells - beneficial properties

Chicken egg shells are a unique product. When prepared and consumed correctly, it will help improve the health of the body, because it has unique beneficial properties:

• This construction material for bones, teeth and nails;
• it conducts nerve impulses and promotes contraction of muscle fibers;
• necessary for the functioning of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, thyroid and gonads;
• participates in the process of blood clotting and stimulates hematopoietic function bone marrow;
• helps reduce cholesterol levels and prevents the absorption of saturated fats in the intestines;
• regulates the acid-base balance in the body;
• prevents radioactive elements such as strontium-90 from accumulating in the bone marrow.

What diseases can be treated with eggshells?

Since the main component of eggshells is calcium carbonate, it will be useful for the following diseases:

• for bone fractures,
• for osteoporosis,
• for osteochondrosis and arthritis,
• with peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, gastritis,
• will prevent the development of caries and bleeding gums;
• for allergic manifestations in children,
• with intestinal dysfunction,
• for burns,
• for the prevention of rickets and,
• strengthens and makes hair and nails beautiful;
• for hair loss.

If signs of rickets appear in children, muscle spasms and cramps, osteoporosis, depression, all this indicates calcium deficiency.

How to prepare eggshells for oral administration

To compensate for calcium deficiency, you can always buy tablets or dietary supplements. But why overpay money when you can prepare such preparations yourself, especially since egg shells are always available on the farm and we mercilessly throw them away.

The cooking process is not labor-intensive and anyone can do it, you just need to follow the following rules.

Egg shells not only from chicken, but from any other birds are useful for cooking. The main thing is that these birds do not live on poultry farms and are not fed various additives.

Before crushing the collected shells, they must be washed with soap under running water and disinfected by boiling, as there may be microbes on the surface. The most dangerous of them is salmonella, which causes a very serious disease of the gastrointestinal tract and.

I would like to note: the film on the inside does not need to be removed, although I found a lot of reviews on the Internet that, on the contrary, it should be removed. Personally, I never remove it.

Then the shell must be dried, otherwise the raw shell cannot be finely chopped. We dry it in the oven, in the microwave, on central heating radiators or simply in the sun. Finely chop the dried mixture. First, you can crush it with a rolling pin or break it with your hands. But for finer grinding it is still better to use a coffee grinder.

The crushed shells must be placed in a dry jar and stored in a cool, dark place. Or you can use gelatin capsules for storage, which you can buy at the pharmacy or online. We fill them with crushed powder and take them when necessary.

How to use eggshells as a source of calcium

The daily dose of calcium for an adult is approximately 400 mg per day, which is about half a teaspoon. The daily dose should be taken in 2 doses - morning and evening, that is, about a quarter of a teaspoon per dose for an adult. For pregnant women it is twice as much, and for children, on the contrary, it is half as much.

But this dose is conditional, depending on what you eat during the day. If you ate a cheese sandwich for breakfast, ate bone broth soup for lunch, and drank a glass of milk before bed, you might want to skip the eggshells. The fact is that excess calcium in the body is also harmful. It is better to combine the intake of eggshells with meals, so it is better to add them to porridge and sprinkle them on a vegetable salad. You can, of course, take it in its pure form with acidified juice, but more on that later.

It is important to know! Calcium is best absorbed with vitamins D and A, which are found in coconut oil, liver, fermented cod oil, herring, butter, egg yolk, seaweed and other products.

The course of using the powder is 2 weeks, then a break of 3 months is required.

The above scheme is suitable for adults with bone fractures. Usually the process of bone fusion is long. In addition to long-term fixation of the fracture site, the doctor prescribes calcium supplements to speed up the healing process. In this case, taking eggshells is a good alternative.

For preventive purposes, eggshell powder will be very useful during periods of intensive growth and development: for children, especially in adolescence, and women during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Calcium is no less important during menopause, when age-related hormonal changes occur and it will be a good remedy for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Hungarian scientists have proven that eggshells act as an adsorbent, as a result of which the sensitivity of the human body to various allergens is reduced, so it can be used for allergies.

Eggshells with lemon for calcium deficiency in the body

Using eggshells with lemon juice significantly improves the absorption of calcium in the body. This application is especially useful for those who have problems with gastrointestinal tract(inflammation, dysbiosis, etc.), which makes it difficult to absorb calcium in the intestines.

Taking lemon juice will help eliminate this problem. It is enough to add 2-3 drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the crushed powder, mix to form a paste and use immediately. This use is convenient because it does not depend on food intake.

Lemon juice can be replaced with freshly prepared cranberry, viburnum, cherry juice or apple cider vinegar.

Who should not use eggshells?

Are there any contraindications for eating eggshells? Yes, I have. Don't eat eggshells

• patients with thrombophlebitis, atherosclerosis, hypertension, disorders of the heart,
• with excess vitamin D,
• with urinary and cholelithiasis, eating eggshells can aggravate the course of the disease,
• Patients with acute or chronic gastritis should also not eat shells because they can injure and cause bleeding of the gastric mucosa.

And yet, despite a number of positive properties, eggshells should be consumed only after consultation with your doctor. Remember that this is not a panacea; when treated, it will only have a therapeutic effect in combination with basic medications. And for preventive purposes, in the absence of contraindications, its use depends only on you.

Everyone has heard about the benefits of eggshells for humans, so they should not end up in the trash. Her healing properties relate to both promoting health and supporting the beauty of the body.

Until some time ago, eggs were rejected due to their cholesterol content. Currently, the situation has changed, and they have “transformed” into one of the products recommended for regular consumption. Of course, in reasonable quantities.

3-4 eggs per week are considered a good and healthy addition to the diet. Contain high-quality proteins, iron, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, D, E, K and other substances. Besides the fact that eggs are healthy, their shell is also healthy.

How to prepare and consume eggshells as a source of calcium and a remedy for some health problems?

Scientific research

Scientists have been studying the benefits of eggshells for humans for several decades.

Through a series of studies, they have concluded that it helps with brittle nails and hair, bleeding gums, constipation, chronic colds and asthma, strengthens bones in osteoporosis, and, according to some experts, removes harmful toxins and radioactive elements from the body.

Its effectiveness is higher than most nutritional supplements! In addition to calcium, the body receives magnesium, zinc, sulfur, iron, molybdenum, fluorine, selenium and silicon. More than 90% of eggshells are composed of inorganic materials, which is similar to the composition of human teeth and bones.

Using the product does not cause any side effects, medicines from it are easy to prepare and do not require costs.

Usage

Note! 1 egg shell = 0.7 g calcium.

Benefits of use

Calcium from eggshells has a number of health benefits. IN folk medicine The product is used to obtain the following effects:

• regulation of high cholesterol;
• prevention of osteoporosis;
• strengthening bone marrow;
• positive influence on blood pressure;
• strengthening bones and accelerating the treatment of injuries, fractures, sprains, etc.;
• Immune support thanks to the rich content of chromium, zinc, iron, magnesium and phosphorus.

Have you once again broken eggs for dough and easily thrown the shells into the trash bin? A very reckless move! And all because eggshells contain a large amount of microelements, and most importantly, calcium. Of course, calcium can be obtained through meat and dairy products, but the shell contains a mineral prepared for the body, which is easily absorbed. That is, the shell can replace active calcium, which is sold in pharmacies. So why spend money if all the most useful and effective things are at your fingertips? In this article we will talk about eggshells - their beneficial properties for the human body, how to safely prepare and consume it.

Medicinal properties of eggshells

Egg shells are 90% calcium carbonate - calcium that is absorbed almost completely, unlike dairy products, meat or chalk. In addition, the shell contains 27 microelements, including such vital ones as fluorine, iron, manganese, phosphorus, molybdenum, copper, zinc, sulfur, and silicon. How does the shell affect the condition of our body?

1. Bones. A large amount of calcium allows us to use shells in the fight against various diseases caused by a deficiency of this trace element. The use of eggshells is effective for rickets, osteoporosis, and arthrosis. The shell allows bones to heal better and easier during fractures and cracks. The use of this medicine is effective for curvature of the spine in children. The shell is extremely necessary for women, especially in old age. After all, monthly menstruation, repeated bearing of a child, long lactation - all this washes calcium out of a woman’s body, and by adulthood her bones become very loose and weak. If measures are not taken in time, this can lead to fractures that take a long time to heal.
2. Teeth. Teeth also contain large amounts of calcium. Eating eggshells makes your teeth stronger and less susceptible to caries and other diseases. This is especially true for children - after all, baby teeth are looser and softer in structure. The shells can be given to the child in courses to keep the teeth beautiful and healthy.
3. Allergy. Few people know that shells are very effective for various manifestations of food allergies. Of course, the product will not be able to eliminate the body’s reaction to the allergen, but it is quite possible to reduce the manifestations of this reaction. If you give the child shells for a long time, one and a half to two months, his rash, cough and other allergic manifestations will stop. This does not replace the main treatment, but is very effective as an auxiliary procedure.
4. Poisoning. Eggshells are effective against a variety of toxicological effects. It binds toxins, absorbs and removes them naturally. We can say that this is an excellent alternative to activated carbon. The shell can be used for food, alcohol and drug poisoning.
5. Pregnancy. Egg shells are very useful during pregnancy. A lack of calcium can lead to poor development of the musculoskeletal system of the fetus, weakness of the uterus, and insufficiently active labor. Calcium deficiency during pregnancy often leads to cramps and spasms of the limbs. During lactation, shells should not be consumed - this can lead to early overgrowth of the baby's fontanel.
6. Immunity. Calcium also affects the strength of the immune system. The fact is that calcium strengthens the outer shell of cells, which does not allow viruses and bacteria to penetrate inside. With regular intake of shells, a person is less susceptible to colds.
7. Blood. Lack of calcium often leads to anemia, a weak hematopoiesis process. This causes the development of cardiovascular diseases, high exposure to radiofrequency waves, and a decrease in hemoglobin.
8. Nervous system. Calcium is also necessary to strengthen the sheaths of nerve fibers. By consuming the shell in courses, you will notice that your sleep has become calmer and longer, you have become less nervous, you are no longer so tired at work, and you have become more stress-resistant.
9. Hair and nails. Calcium is essential for maintaining the beauty of nails and hair. Eating eggshells will help you make your hair strong and get rid of hair loss and split ends. Your nails will become harder, stop bending, breaking and peeling, and you will be able to grow them longer for a more sophisticated manicure. By the way, calcium also has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin - it becomes more elastic and firm. We can say that calcium is one of the powerful microelements for female beauty.

Eggshells are useful for every person, but they are especially needed by children, teenagers, pregnant and elderly women, and people whose work involves radiation. In all these cases, the body requires an additional dose of calcium, which will help cope with the increased load. But how to take shells correctly?

Improper preparation of shells or failure to complete certain steps can lead to dangerous consequences.

1. The first thing you need to do is choose your eggs. It is best to take eggs from healthy domestic chickens. The fact is that in poultry farms, chickens are stimulated with special additives so that they lay eggs more often. In this case, the amount of calcium in such a shell is much less than in domestic chicken, which lays eggs less often. It is better to take white rather than beige eggs for the medicine; it is believed that they contain more calcium. Choose fresh eggs that are no more than a day old.
2. Eggshells should only be taken from raw eggs. It is believed that boiled eggs not suitable for medicine. After removing the egg itself, the shell needs to be dried a little.
3. Next, the film is removed from the shell. By the way, it is perfect for disinfecting, healing wounds and cuts.
4. The shells need to be washed to remove residues. chicken manure. This must be done, even if it seems to you that the shell is clean. You can keep the shells in boiling water or soda solution for 5 minutes. After this, rinse the shells thoroughly in running water.
5. The next stage is calcination. You need to hold the shell at high temperature for 10 minutes. You can put it in the oven or just leave it in a hot frying pan. This is very important - this is how we get rid of salmonellosis, the bacterium of which usually settles on eggshells. This is a dangerous foodborne illness that needs to be prevented. In addition, heating will allow us to prepare the shells for crushing so that they crumble better.
6. Then you need to thoroughly grind the shells to literally turn them into powder. To do this, use a glass or porcelain mortar. It is advisable to prevent the shell from coming into contact with metal objects - the raw material may oxidize. You can use a coffee machine to grind the shells.
7. You need to take the shells together with citric acid. Mix a teaspoon of shells with big amount lemon juice to make a paste. Eat the product with plenty of water.
8. Some people cannot stand the taste and texture of this medicine. Then you need to fill the capsules with the composition from any medicine and swallow the powder capsule. It will dissolve in your stomach.
9. Children often refuse to swallow an unknown substance in powder form. Therefore, it is better to add fine shell powder directly to porridge or soup. The child will eat an important and useful product without even noticing it.
10. There will not be much benefit from just taking the shell. Treatment should be carried out in a course of 20 days every 3-4 months. With this treatment, you can be confident in the health of your teeth, bones, hair and nails.

Store the prepared egg shell powder in a glass container in a cool and dark place. It's better to pour it into a jar and put it in the refrigerator. The powder can be stored for about a month.

Contraindications to taking eggshells

If you decide to consume the shells internally, you need to follow a few precautions. Firstly, you must pierce the shell at high temperatures to protect yourself from salmonellosis. The second rule is that the shells must be thoroughly crushed. If a whole piece goes inside, it can puncture and damage the lining of the esophagus or stomach. Eggshells are contraindicated for various cancers - they can stimulate tumor growth. In addition, if the calcium content in the body is high, taking such a medicine is strictly contraindicated.

Eggshells are used in many areas of life. It is added to food for pets to prevent them from getting sick. Shells are an excellent fertilizer and food for house plants. Eggshell powder is used for burns - sprinkled on the affected part of the skin. A few decades ago, the shell was used as a laundry bleach. Females of many animals certainly eat eggs along with the shell in order to saturate the body with calcium. So let us not give up on the wonderful gift of nature - eggshells. It is a rich source of calcium that is available to everyone. Use eggshells, be healthy and beautiful always!

Video: how to prepare and take calcium from eggshells

Egg shells are an ideal source of calcium and the most unique creation of nature; one can talk tirelessly about its beneficial substances. Egg shells are a very valuable biological product, because they contain calcium carbonate and are easily absorbed by the body. Eggshells as a source of calcium - myth or reality?

A little about eggshells

Egg shells as a source of calcium are used to treat all types of diseases that are usually associated with a deficiency of this trace element. It is recommended for people with osteoporosis to use it daily.

90 percent in eggshell nutrients accounts for calcium carbonate - it is very beneficial for bones. It also contains useful substances such as copper, iron, fluorine, and manganese.

The Hungarian doctor Krompecher proved that egg shells have been used as a source of calcium for quite a long time; they have a miraculous effect on the human body. He conducted detailed research on this product. It lasted 10 years, during which the scientist managed to learn a lot and fully study the shell. As a result, the doctor proved that its structure is similar to human bone and dental tissue.

Preparation for use

Before using eggshells, they must first be properly processed. This must be done as follows:

1. First, you must thoroughly wash the outside of the shell and dry it.
2. Next, it should be crushed and placed in a preheated oven for no more than 10 minutes.
3. After this, you need to pour it into some glass container, which is best placed in a cool, dark place.

How and when is the best time to consume eggshells?

1. In the fight against radionuclides. The human body is capable of quickly accumulating radioactive substances that are found in environment. They, of course, have a bad effect on health, which is why they should be removed. For this purpose, the shell is used in the following proportion - ¼ teaspoon every day.
2. In pediatrics. Egg shells are perfectly absorbed by the human body. Doctors recommend giving it to children and women during pregnancy every day. Pediatricians advise adding shells to baby food. It is especially useful for rickets and anemia.
3. As a dietary supplement. Eggshells are useful not only for pregnant women, but also for people over 50 years old, since bones become more fragile every year. The shell also perfectly strengthens teeth and nails, improves the functioning of the intestines and stomach, treats hives and constipation, and relieves rheumatic pain.

Egg shells as a source of calcium

Calcium is useful not only for teeth, bones and nails, but is also very necessary for the normal functioning of the heart, blood vessels, muscles and nervous system. If the body does not have enough calcium, then allergies, anemia, herpes, depression, memory impairment, nausea, and metabolic disorders may appear.

In adults, calcium deficiency develops osteoporosis (bone fragility), which ranks fourth after cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes mellitus. Consumption per day is about one gram.

The main sources of calcium are the following products: eggshells, hard cheese, cottage cheese, milk, soybeans, apples, nuts, dried apricots, cabbage, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. In winter, the process of obtaining calcium is difficult due to a lack of vitamin D. Without ultraviolet radiation, the body will not be able to produce vitamin D, and it regulates the balance of calcium in the human body.

What are the benefits of eggshells?

Doctors have confirmed that eggshells are a source of calcium, an excellent way to treat the following diseases: rickets, scurvy, anemia and, of course, diathesis. The eggshells of chicken eggs contain a lot of calcium, but it should be noted that they are chicken eggs and not some other kind. Before grinding the shells, they are thoroughly warmed up.

What are the benefits of eggs? Eggshells as a source of calcium are necessary for the normal functioning of the body. If you ask grandmothers about the benefits of eggshells, they will be able to tell you a lot. They used it to treat diseases of the digestive system. For example, eggshells are used in stomach treatment as a source of calcium. Its benefits are significant both for diseases of the respiratory system and for lesions of the genitourinary system.

Preparing eggshells with citric acid

To the serving you must add at least four drops of lemon juice and one drop of vitamin D, which can be bought at any pharmacy. Should be taken three times a day with meals. The dosage depends entirely on age, ranging from approximately 1.5 to 3 grams per day.

This shell powder with lemon juice and vitamin D is very useful for children 1-6 years old, because it is at this age that the processes of bone tissue formation occur.

How to prepare eggshells as a source of calcium: treating diseases

1. Exudative-catarrhal diathesis. The child should be given ¼ teaspoon of shells twice a day. The result can be seen within three to four weeks, but sometimes it may take two to three months.
2. Hives, prickly heat, others You need to boil 15 eggs, remove the shells from them and brew it with boiling water in a three-liter jar, leave for one day. This solution can be used for washing, bathing babies, drinking, and you can also cook food with this infusion. Calcium is very important for women. For osteoporosis, you should take no more than 5 grams of eggshells.
3. Bronchial asthma. This powder should be taken three times a day: morning, lunch and evening, starting with one gram and ending with 0.1. Then increase again to one gram and so on for 30 days. Then take a month off and start the course of treatment again. Asthmatics can prepare a more delicious medicine, which can be prepared according to the following recipe: the shells of 10 eggs should be filled with the juice of 9-10 lemons, and then placed in a dark place for 10 days. This solution should be mixed with another mixture: 10 yolks should be thoroughly beaten with 10 tablespoons of sugar and add 500 milliliters of cognac. The medicine must be mixed well. Now it is completely ready for use. You need to take it one tablespoon three times a day.

Correct use of eggshells

Currently, ordinary whey is very often used as an eggshell solvent. For example, you can cite one ancient recipe that helps remove kidney stones. In a warm place you need to ferment one three-liter jar of milk and make it in a water bath. Put three fresh eggs. The jar must be carefully tied with gauze and placed in a dark, warm place for 10 days until the shell is completely dissolved.

Next, the eggs should be removed from the jar, the film should be pierced with a knife, the contents should be carefully mixed with 300 grams of honey. The film should be thrown away, and the mixture itself should be slowly poured into the whey and kept in the refrigerator for a day. It is necessary to drink, heated in a water bath, at least 0.5 glasses on an empty stomach an hour before meals and in the evening before bedtime.

Before you need to know that it should never be used if you have cancer. Men also need to take this into account, because if you overdo it, you can get prostate cancer.

Treatment with shells has been known for a long time; previously, it was most often used in burnt form as a powder for diseases such as ulcers. Burnt powder is blown into the nose and thereby stops it. You cannot store eggshells in a bag, because moths may appear; it is best to put them in a glass jar and close the lid.

In order to reduce calcium loss, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of coffee, tobacco, carbonated drinks, and alcohol. Be healthy!
