Silicea — Biochemic Tablets (Allen)

Silicea — 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.

Traditionally 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
