This literally ‘Salt of the Earth’ remedy is actually made from rock crystal, which provides not only a huge portion of the earth’s crust, but also the strength in straw, sponges some plant stems, our hair, skin, nails and bone surfaces. Silica, the ‘grit’ remedy, is a strengthening influence in every way. It can provide the most benefit to weakened individuals and disorders. Weak cleansing systems cause skin and glands to suppurate easily. Silica can be a great cleanser- pushing out splinters, boils, abscesses, ulcers and corns. Sore throats, sinus and ear congestion can move out quickly under its influence. Silica can also benefit constipation, diarrhea related to teething, weak hair and nails, and coughs with thick yellow mucus. The key is a want of grit- physical and sometimes moral. Silica offers the most benefit to individuals with some or all of these symptoms: nervous irritability, timidity, fear of public speaking, exam nerves, fear of needles, poor assimilation of nutrients, weak ankles, pale skin, fatigue and a lack of vital heat. Its best patients are concerned about their image (what people think); they perspire (cheesey smelling), though they are naturally chilly. Silica complaints tend to feel better in a warm room with a warm hat on, and much worse in a cold draft.
