Silica Marina

Classical single remedy

chilly, refined and lacking 'grit' — wants to finish things but hasn't the stamina; sweaty offensive feet; slow to heal, and pushes out splinters and old pus; a scar that turns hard or breaks down. (Boericke)

What it’s reached for

  • a lingering boil, abscess or infected spot that will not clear or drain.
  • recurrent colds that settle on the chest in a delicate, chilly person.
  • helping the body expel a splinter or a stitch.

Constipation — Nux Vomica vs. Bryonia vs. Alumina vs. Silicea vs. Lycopodium: the stool comes down to the verge and then slips back, has to be mechanically helped, with a sharp pain in the rectum afterward.

Sinusitis / Sinus Pain — Kali Bichromicum vs. Hydrastis vs. Silicea vs. Pulsatilla vs. Mercurius: chronic, with itching at the root of the nose, dry hard crusts that bleed when loosened, a stuffed feeling, very sensitive to cold.

Potency: 30C once daily for a week or two; avoid if there is implanted material.
