Single Homeopathic Remedy – Silicea

 

Common Name

Silica, Pure flint

Key Characteristics

Derived from silicon dioxide, Silicea is safe for dogs in homeopathic potencies like 30C.

It is a gentle yet effective remedy for weakness, slow healing, and issues tied to poor resilience, such as chronic infections or skin problems.

Dogs needing Silicea may seem timid, chilly, and easily fatigued, often with a delicate or sensitive nature.

It is especially useful for supporting the body’s natural ability to expel foreign objects (like splinters) and strengthen tissues over time.

When to Use Silicea for Dogs

Silicea is ideal for dogs showing fragility, slow recovery, or persistent issues in these situations:

  • Skin and Coat Problems

Chronic abscesses, boils, or slow-healing sores with pus.

Dry, brittle fur or nails that crack easily.

Itchy, sensitive skin that’s prone to irritation.

  • Foreign Objects

Helps push out splinters, thorns, or other embedded items naturally.

Soothes inflammation around the site of penetration.

  • Weakness and Fatigue

Lack of stamina, especially in young or older dogs.

Chilly and easily tired, even with mild activity.

  • Bone and Joint Issues

Weak, brittle bones or slow recovery from fractures.

Tenderness in joints or spine, worse in cold weather.

  • Recurrent Infections

Frequent colds, ear infections, or sinus issues that linger.

Dog may have a low resistance to illness and a meek demeanor.

Times of Day for Silicea

The theory of Times of Day suggests that certain remedies have characteristic indications that match particular phases of the day based on when symptoms are most likely to appear or intensify, and aligning the remedy’s vibrational frequency with optimal time windows when its effects harmonizes with the body’s needs can enhance its healing potential (click here to read more about the theory).

Silicea is commonly used for weakness, chronic infections, skin issues, or slow healing — often linked to low vitality, sensitivity to cold, or poor immune response.

Note: All hours specified below are in local standard time. If your region observes daylight saving time, please adjust accordingly.

  • Early Morning (5 – 7 AM)

Cold mornings may worsen weakness or slow healing wounds; give it to boost vitality and support recovery at the day’s start.

  • Late Morning (9 – 11 AM)

Activity can highlight timidity or skin sensitivity; use it to strengthen resilience and aid chronic skin issues.

  • Early Afternoon (1 – 3 PM)

Midday rest might reveal fatigue or lingering infections; administer to promote healing and reduce exhaustion.

  • Night (7 – 9 PM)

Evening chill can aggravate sensitivity or slow recovery; give it to support the immune system and ease discomfort.

Homeopathic remedies can be highly effective in treating various symptoms in dogs.

However, it is always recommended to consult with a qualified homeopathic veterinarian before administering remedies to ensure they are appropriate for your dog’s condition.
