Eggshells

 

Eggshells consist of 95% calcium carbonate which make them very similar to our bones and teeth. This also means that we can consume them to strengthen the same!

By crushing them into powder you can add them to broth or stocks and some folks put them in their homemade toothpaste for the pearly whites!

Did you know that if you put them in ACV, you can make a tincture that relieves acid reflux and irritated and itchy skin?

Other uses for eggshells are:

• compost them!

• put them back in your chicken feed for healthier hens

• use them in the garden to deter certain pests like snails or slugs

• If you have enough add them to your mulch
