As we age, bones gradually lose their density, so bone mass decreases. Because of this, the bones become more and more fragile, which can be the result of many accidents and falls with serious consequences. In order to prevent osteoporosis and preserve the health of our bones, we can use the tools of allopathy, alternative medicine, homeopathy, phytotherapy, among others. In addition, of course, make sure you have a proper diet and don’t neglect regular exercise.
Some plants help the absorption of calcium
• The field horsetailwhich is rich in silicon and organic minerals, has bone-strengthening and toning properties, helps the absorption of calcium and its incorporation into the bones.
Pour a teaspoon of horseradish into a teacup full of hot water. Let it stand for 10 minutes, then filter it and drink it three times a day. It can also be used in capsule form.
• Bamboo extract stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is one of the most important components of elastic cartilage and helps the continuous renewal of cartilage cells.
• The nettle has a remineralizing effect (which means mineral restoration). Boil 1 l of water, pour in 60 g of dried nettle leaves. Let it stand for 10 minutes, then filter it. Drink one or two cups of it daily. Also available in capsules.
• A type of seaweed, a significant part of lithothamnium is made up of calcium, and it is also rich in iron, magnesium, and trace elements, which is why its concoction is extremely useful for bone health. It also plays a role in restoring the body’s acid-base balance. It is recommended to have a cure during which we alternate decoctions of horsetail, bamboo and lithothamnium. Consume horsetail tea for 21 days, then take a break for 7 days, then continue with bamboo tea again for 21 days. After a 7-day break, drink the lithothamnium decoction daily. (The latter is also available in capsule and tablet form.)
