Egg shells as a remedy for allergies
In recent years there has been increased interest in the use of eggshells for allergies as an alternative treatment. As an experienced allergist, I want to share my knowledge and experience in this area.
Composition of eggshells
Eggshells for allergies can have a positive effect on the body because of their rich composition.
- Egg shells contain bioavailable trace minerals such as calcium, magnesium and zinc. These micronutrients strengthen the immune system and can reduce sensitivity to allergens.
- In addition, egg shells contain collagen, which is beneficial for skin that often suffers from allergic reactions.
Principle of the action of eggshells on the body
Egg shells, being a natural source of minerals, help regulate the immune system. This, in turn, can help reduce allergic reactions.
How to use eggshells to treat allergies
There are a number of nuances to consider before using eggshells as an allergy treatment.
Eggshell powder can be added to food or taken as capsules. The recommended dosage is about 1 gram per day. However, you should always consult your doctor before starting treatment.
Some people may be allergic to eggs, so the use of eggshells should be coordinated with your doctor. You should also be careful when taking medications, such as Antihistamines or Corticosteroids, in conjunction with eggshells.
Experiences and research: eggshells and allergies
There are a number of clinical studies that examine the effects of eggshells on allergies.
One study found that taking eggshell powder reduced levels of IgE, an antibody that plays a key role in allergic reactions.
Although the findings are promising, more research is needed for definitive conclusions.
Egg shells can be a useful supplement in the fight against allergies because of their rich composition of micronutrients and bioactive substances. However, a doctor's consultation is necessary before starting to take it, and possible contraindications should be considered. Future studies may reveal additional possibilities of using eggshells in the treatment of allergic diseases.
