Just think about it. Chicken shells can fight and excrete dangerous strontium-90 radionuclides. It is also the most underrated source of calcium.
This is the only reason why you need to find out in more detail about the properties of chicken shells.
Long-term practice and feedback from people show that this is a very effective dietary supplement. Certainly not a panacea for everything, but an excellent source of easily digestible calcium, trace elements, vitamins and other useful substances.
The main thing here is to know how and when to apply.
Since excessive enthusiasm can harm the body. Everything is described in detail below. Do you eat chicken shells? Or do you think this is an example of ineffective alternative medicine?
There is such a strong opinion that chicken eggshells are very useful. Someone even pounds it and drinks it like vitamins. Scientists have long confirmed that this is an ideal source of calcium that is easily absorbed by the body.
By the way, in ancient medical books, in the composition of many healing mixtures, chicken eggs along with the shell or one shell are mentioned as components. The Hungarian doctor Krompecher, with a group of physicians and biologists, became interested in the health benefits of chicken egg shells.
As you know, calcium deficiency, especially in bones, is one of the most common metabolic disorders. This is rickets and abnormal growth of teeth in children, curvature of the spine and damaged teeth, fragility of bones in the elderly. Disorder of calcium metabolism is often accompanied by anemia, exposure to colds, allergies, herpes on the lips, and a decrease in resistance to radiation. In women, leucorrhoea, weakness of labor pains, atony of the muscles of the uterus are added to this. It is difficult to correct the disturbances in calcium metabolism, since the drugs used by medicine - calcium chloride, gypsum, chalk - are poorly absorbed by the body.

Studies by Hungarian doctors have shown that the shell of chicken eggs, which is 90% calcium carbonate (calcium carbonate), is easily absorbed. At the same time, it contains all the trace elements necessary for the body: copper, fluorine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, sulfur, zinc, silicon and others - only 27 elements! Especially important is the significant content of silicon and molybdenum in it - our daily food is extremely poor in these elements, but they are absolutely necessary for the normal course of biochemical reactions in the body.
The composition of eggshells strikingly coincides with the composition of bones and teeth and, moreover, stimulates the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, which is especially valuable in conditions of radiation damage.
I think everyone knows that our body needs calcium. Lack of calcium causes problems with teeth, osteoporosis, brittle nails, hair loss, headaches, vegetative-vascular dystonia, rickets in babies, fragility of bones in old age. Calcium is very necessary for nursing mothers, pregnant women and women during menopause.
The daily calcium intake for children ranges from 400 to 800 milligrams, depending on age, for adults 1000 - 1200 milligrams, for postmenopausal women and the elderly over 65 years of age - 1500 milligrams. It is almost impossible to get such an amount of calcium per day from food alone. To do this, you need to eat, for example, 1 kg of cottage cheese, or 1 kg of seeds, or 3 cans of sardines, or drink a liter and a half of milk. You need to eat even more other foods that contain calcium. Just 100 grams of Parmesan cheese contains 1,300 mg of calcium and provides a daily requirement.
To replenish calcium, you can, of course, take calcium supplements in tablets, but now is such a time that there are a lot of fakes and it is not known what is actually in these tablets. Taking dietary supplements gives a positive effect, but again you need to know which company to trust, and the pleasure is not cheap.
But there is a completely accessible alternative to everyone - eggshells as a source of calcium, and natural calcium. Eggshell contains 90% calcium. In addition, eggshells are rich in fluoride, iron, copper and many other trace elements. Eggshells are completely and easily absorbed by the body, in contrast to tablet preparations.
And for young children, it is generally the best option. Eggshells simply need to be given to children from 1 year to 6 years old, since at this time bone tissue is formed, adolescents and young people from 14 to 20 years old. And in older people, on the contrary, bone tissue becomes fragile, so they also need to take eggshells regularly.
Eggshells are useful for fractures, promotes rapid bone healing, it should be used by pregnant women, with osteoporosis, brittle nails, hair loss, and against caries. By the way, against hair loss and for hair growth, there is another miracle remedy - castor oil, it has been used since ancient times. According to reviews, even completely bald people grew hair.
The introduction of crushed chicken egg shells into food showed its high therapeutic activity and the absence of any side effects, including bacterial contamination. The same cannot be said about duck egg shells, which are often infected and unsuitable for use.
The shell of chicken eggs is especially useful for young children, starting from a year, because in their body the processes of bone tissue formation are most intensive and require an uninterrupted supply of calcium. The shell, included in baby food, is extremely beneficial for rickets and anemia that develops in parallel with rickets.
Based on his research, Dr. Krompeher makes the following recommendations:
1.shell prophylaxis during pregnancy is mandatory;
2. extremely desirable for children from 1 to 6 years old;
3. desirable in adolescence and adolescence (up to 19-20);
4. Prevention twice a year is useful for adults in order to prevent diseases of the spine, dental caries and osteoporosis;
Eggshells are an excellent excreting agent of radionuclides and can be effectively used in foci of radioactive contamination, because they prevent the accumulation of strontium-90 nuclei in the bone marrow. (Consume 2 to 6 grams per day).
The method of using chicken eggshells is very simple. Eggs are pre-washed with warm water and soap, rinsed well. In most cases, the shell does not require special sterilization. For small children, place it in boiling water for 5 minutes. The shells from hard-boiled eggs are slightly less active, but they are completely ready for use, having undergone sterilization during the cooking process. The dosage is 1.5 to 3 grams daily, depending on age. It is better to grind the shell into powder in a mortar: it has been noticed that when using a coffee grinder, the drug is less active. Reception with morning food - with cottage cheese or porridge. In Western pharmacies, egg shell powder has been sold since 1970.
To prepare eggshells, only chicken homemade eggs are suitable for use, quail eggs can be used. It is better not to take store ones, it is not known how they were processed, eggs should be free of soy and GMOs. Duck eggs are not advisable to use, they are often infected. The color of the eggs does not matter, you can use either white or brown.
A lot of trouble brings, especially in children, diathesis of allergic origin. Take note of the old recipe published in the book by IP Neumyvakin and LS Neumyvakina "Health is in your hands." Boil a fresh egg hard-boiled, remove the shell, carefully remove the film lining it. Dry the shell for 2-3 hours (not in the heat and not in direct sunlight). In a porcelain mortar, grind the shell into powder (but not into fine powder).
A child from 6 months to 1 year old is given powder on the tip of a knife, from 1 to 3 years old, twice as much. At 5-7 years old, half of the crushed shell is already. Before giving to the child, it is necessary to squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into the powder, while chemical reactions convert the substances contained in the shell, in particular calcium, into forms that are well absorbed by the body. This is done daily from one to several months. The method is absolutely harmless. The result will be that subsequently there will be no reaction to those products that caused diathesis.
The shell of a chicken egg, fried to a yellowish color and crushed into powder, heals "hungry" pains and pains in the stomach. Take 1 time daily before meals for 10 days. According to modern concepts, it has an antacid effect. "Eggshells, crushed into powder and drunk with grape wine, stop diarrhea," says an old medical book.
Egg shells, dried and ground into a fine powder in a coffee grinder, can serve as a dusting powder when opening blister burns. Some sources advise taking raw eggs, it seems that they will contain more calcium than in the shell of boiled eggs. But at the same time, the shell must be kept for disinfection for 5-10 minutes in boiling water. Is it not so much time to cook eggs?
By the way, all tablets with calcium undergo heat treatment, which means that calcium is still not destroyed. So you can equally use the shells of both boiled and raw eggs.
Now about how to cook eggshells correctly
It is imperative to separate the film on the inside from the shell. There is information that the film is also useful and grinds well. Yes, this is true, but a useful film is usually used for various types of treatment on its own, separately from the shell. For example, for the treatment of corns. And when ground together with the shell, calcium will not be easily absorbed.
Then, lower the shell from the raw egg into boiling water. If you are sure of the cleanliness and quality of your homemade eggs, then you don't need to boil the raw shell. The shells of boiled eggs, of course, no longer need to be subjected to additional processing. Next, the shell must be thoroughly dried. We just leave it in a cup at room temperature for a couple of days.
And the last moment - the eggshell must be crushed into powder. It is best to do this in a mortar, because contact with metal is always undesirable. But if you don't have a mortar, use a coffee grinder. The shell must be crushed very finely, practically into dust, it is in this form that it is better absorbed. Shredded eggshells are perfectly stored in a closed jar in a cabinet for a long time.
It is most convenient to use ground eggshells once a day in the morning, adding them to food, to oatmeal, for example, and to small children - to baby food. Or you can just drink it with water as a medicine.
The course of admission can be a month, then take a break and repeat. Attention, it should be remembered that excess calcium is no less harmful than its lack. Excess calcium can lead to the formation of stones in the bladder and kidneys, and adversely affect the heart.
Therefore, calcium intake must be controlled. How to do it? If you drank, for example, two glasses of milk in a day or ate a can of sardines, or a lot of cheese or cottage cheese, then you can not take eggshell powder on that day (or the next day). Or you can simply set the frequency of taking eggshells: skip the appointment once or twice a week. In addition, the intake of vitamin D contributes to better absorption of calcium, therefore it is necessary to use fish oil in capsules. And by all means eat seaweed - the main source of iodine, without which we cannot do anything.
Advice from the old medicine: to crush kidney and bladder stones, you need to crush the shell of the egg from which the chicken has just hatched into powder, and drink this shell with grape wine. You need to take about 10 g every day.
V. V. Karavaev, who has developed his own system of healing the body, recommends taking crushed eggshells to normalize the alkaline-acid balance. You can only use the shells from raw eggs. It is washed with cold water for an hour and then ignited. Store the shell in a glass jar with a lid, but not in a plastic bag. Before you start taking the shells, you need to pay attention to which of your nostrils breathes easier. If the left - you are shown to take the shell, if the right - the shell should not be taken. (It should be noted that despite the seeming paradox of Karavaev's advice, they have a fairly serious scientific basis.) Healthy people should also accept the shell, but only when they feel especially good, feel cheerful and in a good mood. The shells should be taken in crushed form, 1 tablespoon per day, preferably with 2-3 drops of lemon juice. In extreme cases, a pharmacy drug calcium carbonate (calcium carbonate) can serve as a substitute for eggshells.
Calcium is best absorbed by drinking calcium water, which can also be prepared from eggshells. Be sure to read!
Eggshell calcium water
It has long been known that calcium water can prolong our life for many years. We know about the benefits of calcium for our body, and best of all, it is absorbed in the form of calcium water. In Japan, there is the island of Okinawa, on which long-livers live, and their life expectancy exceeds the average age of the Japanese by 20-30 years, often reaching 108 years.
These people almost never get sick, they do not know what cancer, diabetes, heart disease are. Not only do the inhabitants of the island look good even in their 90s, but they also actively work physically at this age. And the secret of their longevity and health lies in the fact that they drink water saturated with calcium and other trace elements, which are supplied by the corals located near the island.
But you don't have to go to Japan for water. You can make your own calcium water from your eggshell! By the way, there was material about the Greek Ikaria "The Island of Centenarians", here people also live happily ever after and have their own secrets of longevity.
Why is calcium water useful?
And the basis of the complex treatment of any disease is the so-called coral water, which contains, along with other useful substances, a large amount of magnesium and calcium. The fact is that calcium water affects the acid-base balance.
Our poor-quality food and drink, stress upsets the balance, leads to an increase in acidity in the body, which is often the cause of many diseases. The body needs calcium to neutralize acid. And it works better then if you put it in water.
Drinking calcium water is necessary for fractures and osteoporosis, hypertension, nervous diseases, stress, allergies, low immunity and many other cases. In general, calcium water is useful for everyone as a source of calcium.
Eggshell calcium water
We have already mentioned that eggshell is an excellent natural source of calcium. But once again I want to note that calcium is better absorbed when placed in water.
How to make calcium water from eggshells
Everything is very simple. Pour the prepared ground eggshell into a container with water. The shell of one egg is enough per liter of water, on average it is about one teaspoon. The shell does not dissolve in water, but transfers its properties to it, saturates it with calcium. Once the shell powder settles to the bottom, the calcium water is ready for use.
Eggshells are also used for:
Strengthening hair and nails
Calcium is the source of beautiful hair and nails. If you want your hair and nails to always look great, take eggshells at least once a week. To do this, consume 1/3 teaspoon of shell powder with 2 capsules of fish oil.
Whitening laundry
The white shell has a whitening effect. Pound it well, tie it in a linen bag and place it in the drum of the washing machine when washing white clothes or laundry.
Improving the taste of coffee
If you want to improve the taste of your coffee, add a little crushed eggshells to the turkey or on top of the coffee in the filter of the coffee maker. The taste will become noticeably brighter, it will not be bitter, since calcium neutralizes the acid. In addition, when the shell is added, the thick will sink to the bottom of the turkey.
Cleaning kitchen utensils
Crush the eggshell. Put it in a kettle or thermos. Cover halfway with water, shake well and let sit overnight. By morning, the dishes will be clean. This method is suitable for removing limescale and deposits. The shell also cleans pans and baking sheets. Pour the crushed shells into a greasy pan, wipe with a sponge.
We use in the country and in the garden
Wash the eggshells, dry them and chop them in any convenient way. Add it to the soil before digging your garden. For 1 square meter, you can use the shells of about 100 eggs. This method will significantly reduce the acidity of the soil. This processing method is especially good before planting tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes. And if you crush the shells and scatter them in your vegetable garden or in the garden near the plants, it will scare away slugs.
Fertilizing indoor plants
Rub the eggshells and cover with water. After a day, you can use this water for watering indoor and garden plants. The beneficial substances contained in the shell are an excellent fertilizer.
