Silicea

Silicea terra is a homoeopathic medicine derived from pure flint or silica. Belonging to the Silica family, it has been traditionally valued for its therapeutic properties in promoting strength and vitality. In homoeopathy, Silicea is used to address conditions where there is weakness, both physical and mental. It is particularly noted for its effects on promoting healthy skin, nails, and hair, as well as aiding in the expulsion of foreign bodies like splinters from the skin.
