The salt for Hair, Nails and Skin

Silica is a component of the connective tissues, epidermis, mucous membranes, hair, nails, bones and nerves. Lungs, lymph glands and suprarenal gland contain a high amount of Silica. Silicea helps to maintain the elasticity and firmness of hair and nails. It is indicated e.g. in case of brittle hair and nails, hair loss or irregular nail growth. Silicea strengthens the skin and connective tissues by enhancing the elasticity.

Where It Works

Against suppuration of the skin, boils and fistulas; for the treatment of rheumatic joint diseases (gout), arthritis, disorders of the vertebral disc, bone loss (osteoporosis); against the disturbance of bone growth, shin splints, tendonitis, hardening of the arteries, excessive sweating, signs of premature ageing (such as facial wrinkles); for the treatment of bruises, kidney gravel, brittle hair and nails, also hair loss, irregular nail growth, whitlow, acne.

Visual Analysis

In General: excessive and premature wrinkling, loose skin and signs of premature ageing; the patient displays a heightened tendency to sweat, especially around the head and neck; also foul-smelling, sweaty feet. The skin is thin and translucent. Dry, brittle hair and nails. In some cases lack or poor distribution of this salt may lead to poor posture and even curvature of the spine (scoliosis), since the bones develop poorly; taut, shiny skin around the shins; the eyes are very sensitive to light.

Face: loose, wrinkled skin, but also “face-lift skin” (it looks as though it’s been pulled back tightly) and “crow’s feet”, the skin appears glassy and translucent; wrinkles near the ears.

Tongue: brownish, slimy coating; the tongue may be dry, which worsens during the morning hours; there may also be a soapy taste in the mouth.
