Common Myths About Boiled Eggshells
There are several misconceptions floating around the internet, such as:

“Drinking eggshell water can cure arthritis or diabetes.”

“Boiled eggshells detoxify your body.”

“Eggshells can replace medicine.”

These claims are not supported by scientific evidence. Eggshells are rich in minerals, but they are not a substitute for medical treatment or a balanced diet.

Safe Ways to Use Boiled Eggshells
If you’d like to take advantage of the natural benefits of eggshells, here are some safe, practical methods:

For a calcium boost:

Rinse eggshells thoroughly to remove residue.

Boil for 10 minutes to sterilize.

Dry completely (in sunlight or an oven).

Grind into a fine powder using a blender.

Store in a clean jar and use small amounts (½ teaspoon per day) in smoothies or soups.

For plants:

Boil crushed eggshells in water for 10–15 minutes.

Let the mixture cool, strain it, and use it to water your plants.
This provides calcium and helps balance soil acidity.
