In the category of foods that we all have in our fridges and that we never think to use, eggs come first! These nutrients are contained naturally in the egg and are the same ones that make up shiny, healthy hair. Some people therefore use the egg to reduce their problems with hair loss, dry hair, or to try to make it grow a little faster. The eggshell is almost entirely composed of calcium (90%), which is very important for our bones. Calcium is easily absorbed by our body and, among other things, prevents osteoporosis, stimulates bone marrow, regulates cholesterol levels and blood pressure and strengthens bones. Additionally, although to a lesser extent, it contains zinc, phosphorus, manganese, iron and chromium. According to natural medicine, you should consume between 1.5 and 3 grams of ground eggshell per day. You can include it in food or smoothies. The simplest way to consume it is to make flour: wash the shells of 10 eggs and grind them in a mortar. Then put them in the oven for a few minutes to dry out their natural moisture and store them in a dry place. If you don’t want to make eggshell flour, you can add it to lemon juice. Wash the shell and let it rest in a glass with natural lemon juice. After about 12 hours, the lemon will have “corroded” the shell. Put everything in a blender and consume it. THE EGGSHELL IS AN EXCELLENT REMEDY TO DETOXIFY the body: Wash 5 eggshells and crush them in a mortar. Put the flour in 3 liters of water and let it sit for 7 days. Consume two glasses per day. Stimulate the thyroid gland: Wash 8 egg shells and crush them in a mortar; squeeze 5 lemons and mix everything. Let it sit in the refrigerator for about a full day. Treat stomach problems: Mix a quarter teaspoon of eggshell with two spoonfuls of lemon juice. Then add 100 ml of lukewarm milk. Consume this preparation on an empty stomach twice a day: in the morning and before bedtime. As a healing agent: The transparent film that lines the inside of the eggshell helps in the healing of wounds and scratches on the skin. Apply this film directly to the skin and leave to act for a few minutes. Face lifting: mix two spoonfuls of grated eggshell with egg white well. Apply to face and let dry, then rinse. This face mask is packed with nutrients for the skin.
