Silicea is a homeopathic remedy based on anhydrous colloidal silica powder.

Formulated with SiO2, silica is a chemical substance extracted from sand, often used in optics.

It allows the preparation of the oxide that homeopaths have named Silicea.

This enables wounds accompanied by pus to heal quickly.

It is also effective in the treatment of infectious diseases favoured by dampness and cold.

And as a tuberculin remedy, silicea can even act as a complement to other biochemical salts.

Otolaryngology and pulmonology

Colds, otorrhoea - chronic pain in the ears - and sinusitis can be treated with silicea.

The same applies to nasopharyngitis, an inflammation of the throat and/or nasal mucosa, which is common in young children.

Silicea is also useful for recurrent respiratory infections in winter.

Ophthalmology

Silicea is used to treat blepharitis, an inflammation of the eyelids that causes red eyes.

It can also be used to get rid of pus-filled boils, commonly known as pimples, that form on the edge of the eye or on the eyelids.

Gynaecology and Urology

Silicea helps to relieve inflammation of the vaginal lining and fallopian tubes.

It is also recommended for infections of the uterine lining, chronic bladder infections and bladder spasms.

Some kidney diseases can also be cured easily with silicea treatment.

Dermatology

Silicea is mainly prescribed for acne furunculosis, paronychia, boils and exudative dermatoses.

It also removes whitish patches on the appendages and effectively treats nail ridges or deformities.

Rheumatology

Silicea is useful for people suffering from algodystrophy or demineralisation of the bones, accompanied by severe pain, growth epiphysitis, bone decay, rickets or inflammatory arthritis.

This homeopathic remedy also combats coccidiomycosis and osteoporosis, which mainly affect the elderly.

Stomatology

Silicea is very effective in treating early tooth decay and focal tooth infections, which are the most common cause of jaw deformity.

It also helps to treat winter angina.

Gastroenterology

Silicea relieves atonic diarrhoea and constipation caused by malabsorption syndrome.

It is also an excellent remedy for worms that cause abdominal pain and chronic cough.

Behavioural problems

Homeopaths also prescribe silica for general fatigue, difficulty concentrating and sleep disorders.

It is also recommended for people who are shy or frequently stressed.
