Eggshells and Potato to the Rescue!
What is Your Natural Medicine?
Welcome back to the Tuesday blog carnival on Natural Cures! This week’s theme was inspired by a brand new blog, Scientific Living. The first post on this blog is “What is Natural Medicine?”
My definition of Natural Medicine is “using natural means of addressing health problems, natural solutions that deal with root causes and promote the bodies own tendency to heal itself.” I am quite impressed with Scientific Living’s articles, and encourage you to check it out-see the first two entries in today’s carnival.
Here are two Natural Medicine ideas, the first shared with me by my Bolivian friend, Celinda, the second by my mother.
In Bolivia, for a cut, scrape or minor burn, they use the inside lining or skin of an eggshell. Place the wet egg skin on your injury and let it dry. The egg skin will shrink as it drys and keep your skin taught underneath. She says this remedy facilitates healing of the injury and prevents scarring.
Celinda demonstrates how to remove the lining of the egg in the photos, below.
- Break a small piece off eggshell, Pull gently to remove lining.
- Place wet egg skin on injury
- Let dry to seal wound
Mom says that for a bruise, she was told to rub a piece of potato on the bruise to help it heal faster.

Scientic Living just finished a tremendous 5 part article on curing (yes, CURING) chronic pain! I found some of the insights very helpful!
Now we want to know the natural medicines that work for your family! Please share them with us in the comments or by submitting a blog post or something from your archives. Here are the instructions for participating in the blog carnival.

I would have never imagined that I would be blogging, or that I would join a group like Real Food Media. None of this would have happened without you. I mean more than the help you have given me, though I appreciate it very much. I also mean seeing the great good you do with your blog, with supporting WAPF, with advocating real food and the great info you provide on so many issues. There is such a desperate need for this information. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for being who you are, and for doing what you do.
This is an incredibly cool idea that I’ve never heard of! Of course, I don’t want a scratch or cut, but life being what it is, I’m guessing one will be along sooner or later. When it shows up, I’ll try your egg membrane trick above. I don’t always have eggs in my fridge, but hopefully there will be a convergance of the two: wounds and eggs. When/if it happens I’ll come back and report.

I didn’t know that eggs can do that. I always heard people say put aloe vera gel on a burn, but never the lining of an egg…thanks for sharing this!

The chiropractic treatment of musculoskeletal issues is where the general public’s understanding of chiropractic ends like with choosedrugs.com. The problem is that there are so many theories attempting to make the connections between a chiropractic adjustment and a patient’s positive physiologic response such as the resolution of headaches, asthma, and ADHD or colic in children only to name a few. But to date, there is no widely accepted theory as to why chiropractic is effective. People do not trust what they do not understand.
