Joint and bone pain can be very bothersome, but have you ever considered using eggshells as a remedy? Surprisingly, many people find relief from knee and bone pain with this simple home remedy. Rich in calcium and other essential minerals, eggshells have long been valued in traditional practices for their beneficial effects on joint and bone health.
Why eggshells?
Eggshells are primarily composed of calcium carbonate, a form of calcium often found in dietary supplements. Calcium is essential for maintaining strong bones, and eggshells go a step further by providing additional trace minerals like magnesium and strontium, which can improve bone density and joint health.
Preparation of the eggshell remedy
| Stage | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1. Collecting shells | Save the shells of 4 to 5 eggs and rinse them well to remove any remaining egg white. |
| 2. Sterilization | Cover them with water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let them boil for 5 to 10 minutes to disinfect them. |
| 3. Drying and grinding | Allow the shells to dry completely (perhaps in a warm oven), then grind them to a fine powder in a coffee grinder or mortar. |
How to use the powder
The powder is tasteless and easy to add to food.
Sprinkle about ½ teaspoon daily over meals or smoothies, soups, juices.
This dose provides approximately 400 mg of calcium , contributing to daily needs.
