The use of eggshells

Eggshell. It would seem that the simplest product and many do not even suspect how useful it is. It is used in many spheres of life: as feeding for poultry, in horticulture, in the household. Our parents with the help of eggshells even bleached the laundry: added to the water and boiled in it things. The shell of chicken eggs since ancient times was added to medicinal ointments. This is due to the fact that the eggshell consists of calcium, and it is perfectly absorbed by the body.

Bone tissue consists of calcium. If the body feels a lack of this substance, it causes a person many diseases, even in children. No source of calcium, such as: soda, chalk, is not taken by the body as a shell. The composition of human bone, teeth is very similar to the egg shell. The use of egg shells is that, thanks to the calcium contained in the shell, the bone marrow performs better the hematopoietic function.

Copper, silicon, manganese, molybdenum, fluorine, sulfur, zinc, etc., and in fact our daily diet often lacks these elements, our body can not cope with biochemical reactions without them. The eggshell will also help in radioactively contaminated areas, since it does not allow the bone marrow to accumulate strontium-90.

Doctors often write to young children to take calcium. And where it can still be found in such quantity, as in the eggshell. In our time, most often, of course, we buy drugs in a pharmacy. But our moms and dads did the preparation of calcium themselves. Well-warmed shells were pounded in a mortar and given to children by a teaspoon per day, adding it to the baby porridge. This remedy saved the baby from rickets, anemia. In diathesis, eggshell powder was also used.

And if you drip on the juice of fresh lemon, the calcium contained in the shell will be easier to digest, thanks to the chemical reaction of calcium and acid.

Application of eggshell in agriculture

Another powder is very useful for fertilizing the soil. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, savvy gardens, in the absence of pots, planted the seedlings in a cleaned shell filled with earth. When the seedling reached a certain size, it was planted in the open ground together with the shell. However, in our time gardeners are not advised to add egg shells during planting, because it dissolves very long in the ground. It is best to add shells during the processing of land in the fall.

Chicken shells were still pushed and given to chickens, so that they did not peck their eggs.
