SOMETHING ABOUT SILICEA TERRA – PART 1
Scars suddenly become painful. Silica can stimulate the organism to re-absorb fibrotic conditions and scar-tissue.
It is related to all fistulous burrowings.
Intolerance of alcoholic stimulants.
Swelling in the glabella.(like Fluoric acid......Note : Some objective pointers like Linea nasalis of Aethusa,swollen upper lip of Calc carb,moth patches of Sepia and Caulo etc .need to be studied and analysed in light of modern medical knowledge...but nevertheless they are prominently mentioned in our Materia medica)
Exostosis;Ascending effects, Indifference to religion (Dr.Phatak)
PULS is a hot blooded patient but after using that remedy for a while you notice that the patient goes to the other extreme and becomes chilly and wants much clothing, the heat is taken out of the case. SIL is the natural follower of PULS and you would be astonished how often a patient leaving PULS runs toward SIL. SIL goes deeper into the case, it does more curing, and it is the natural chronic of PULS. Other remedies of course follow PULS, but SIL more frequently than any other medicine. When SIL has been administered for a while it cures the cold state and removes the chilliness of the patient (remember, however, that SIL at times has something of PULS in it; in some of its complaints it is aggravated from overheating) and the patient under SIL goes back to the warm state again, becomes warm blooded, wants the warm covers thrown off, wants to be lightly covered. Then it is that FL-AC comes in the series. FL-AC follows SIL as naturally as SIL follows PULS. They exist in threes. It is true that PULS, SIL and FL-AC are similar all along the line as to the nature of their symptoms.(Dr.Kent and Dr.Gaskin)
Silica feels the cold strongly, but one must also remember that, during acute ailments, Silica can also be intolerant to warm stuffy rooms - like Pulsatilla. Conversely, Silica can be aggravated by drafts, even though he or she may not feel the draft particularly. (Dr.Vithoulkas)
Why is Silicea called as Surgeon’s knife? : It forms Sodium silicate, a thin watery, transparent fluid around foreign bodies and provokes the opening or the tract by applying pressure and thus facilitates the expulsion of foreign bodies.
Silicea is probably the most refined of all constitutional types. Almost everything about Silicea is refined; intellect, Aesthtic look, moral sensitivity etc.Only Ignatia and Arsenicum come close to its refinement.
