On the 12th Day of Cell Salts… Silicea
On the 12th day of cell salts, Dr. Schüssler gave to us… Silicea.
Silicea, aka Silica, is part of all connective tissue cells in the body — the hair, the nails, the skin.
Silicea is a building block and it provides strength and stability to every part of the body. “Silicea has the power to have an impact upon virtually all aspects of the human system, especially upon bones, joints, skin, mucous membranes, and glands” (McCabe 2009).
Conditions which may benefit from Silicea:
