Silica

Silica - Children and adults needing Silica are prone to lingering infections for instance in the site of wounds, scars, rotten teeth and vaccinations. They also find it difficult to throw out splinters; they yield to foreign bodies, until they are give potentised Silica to wake up their dormant resistive powers. In Silica persons, these intrinsic 'resistive powers', although quiescent, are great: enough, for instance, to stimulate the body to throw out embedded shrapnel from old war wounds. We see this in the mental sphere also where the physical properties are mirrored. Silica people are outwardly mild and seemingly yielding, yet have an inner resistance; they stand firm, and may obstinately maintain their point of view. They do this because of inner determination as much as a concern about what others may think about them: that the image they project should be perfect. Adults and also children can give us a refined, almost aristocratic impression: inwardly assured (hard) yet outwardly polite (yielding). This characteristic can remind us of Staphisagria. Whenever there is a possibility of their image being lost, for instance while appearing on stage or meeting new people, or at the time of exams, Silica people develop tremendous anxiety with a great fear of failure. Silica may appear like Lycopodium, because Lycopodium also has lack of confidence. But in Lycopodium, it is whether they are capable of doing the action that bothers them, while in Silica it is their image that must be protected at all costs. Silica people are always conscious of the impression they are creating. This can make them fidgety, or they may give rehearsed answers, giving the impression that they are formal. They are apt to be overly conscientious about trifling matters: great at calculation, work with precision, obsessive attention to just one detail. Silica comes in after prolonged mental overload; people who push themselves to the utmost with stubborn perseverance to fulfil a specific task.
