Eggshell Calcium
The creator's multi-purpose eggshell powder notes, used in gardening, personal supplement practice and spiritual contexts.
Notebook preparation
- Clean eggshells with cold water to remove egg white, leaving the membrane.
- Boil the shells for 10 minutes.
- Leave to dry overnight.
- Grind in a coffee grinder until powdered.
Uses recorded by the creator
Gardening: She used approximately 1–2 tablespoons of ground eggshell as needed. Exact application method and plant types were not specified.
Spiritual: She used eggshell powder in spiritual practices including protective circles, cleansing, and other applications. These are recorded as her personal practices without assigning them to any particular tradition.
Personal supplement: The notebook states “1 tsp = 800 mg” and “use: ½ tsp powder 2× daily.” These are historical notes about her practice, not verified dosing or calcium-content measurements.
Important distinction about the supplement note
Homemade eggshell powder may have variable calcium content, particle size and contamination risks. Boiling and drying at home do not establish that a powder is safe to swallow, and the amount of elemental calcium in a spoonful cannot be reliably established from this notebook. This page archives the creator's practice; it does not recommend oral use or this dose. For calcium supplementation, a tested product with a labeled elemental-calcium amount is more reliable.
In gardening, eggshell fragments break down slowly, so adding them should not be assumed to provide an immediate plant calcium treatment.
Notebook provenance
This is a multi-purpose household practice the creator says she used for many things, not only a supplement. The quantities and procedure above reflect the handwritten notebook and her additional recollection.
