Many people are increasingly willing to use natural and alternative solutions, which, as it turns out, can successfully replace expensive products. “Zero waste” supporters eagerly reach for walnut shells.
What can walnut shells be used for? It’s better not to throw them away
Walnut shells can be a valuable help not only in gardening and housework, but also in terms of care. They contain many ingredients, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-6 and omega-3, amino acids, B vitamins and minerals (potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, manganese and iodine). They will work well as:
- homemade skin peeling.
- Homemade coloring rinse and a way to deal with gray hair.
- fertilizer to strengthen plants in the garden and home.
- a natural remedy for treating cough or runny nose.
- for sitz baths in case of inflammation.
Walnut shells. Practical application will transform your smile
Although walnut shells darken the hair, they whiten the teeth like a natural toothpaste. They can become at least two shades lighter. Moreover, it will make it easier to remove remaining tartar and prevent the development of caries. To prepare a homemade preparation:
- Crush a glass of shells.
- Pour three glasses of water over everything.
- Bring the mixture to a slow boil over low heat for 20 minutes.
- When the liquid cools down, dip your toothbrush in the broth.
- Wipe your teeth for 2 minutes and repeat the treatment 3 times a week.
- Finally, rinse your mouth thoroughly.
