The twelfth and final cell salt of the original cell salts is silicea, also called silica. This cell salt can be beneficial for detoxing or pulling things out of the body. It is also regarded as the cell salt for hair and nails as well as connective tissue.
I specifically keep silica in my first aid kid in the event of a sliver or tick bite. Whomever is dealing with the tick or sliver takes some silica cell salt under their tongue, making it easy and noninvasive. If the cell salt potency is not enough to budge it then I will grab silica in 30c potency next. This is one of those easy things I can keep on hand and no one fights me about taking it.
