Schuessler 30ml Spray - Silica

Hair, skin and nails all grow slowly, so consistency is everything when it comes to looking after them. The Schuessler 30ML Spray - Silica makes that consistency easy, delivering silicea at a 6X potency in a quick spray that takes seconds each morning and evening.

Silica has a loyal following among people who want to support their natural beauty from within, and the lactose-free spray is a welcome alternative for those who would rather avoid tablets.

About Silica

Silicea, or silicon dioxide, is one of the most abundant minerals on earth and is found in connective tissue, hair, skin and nails. In Dr Schuessler's tradition, Silica is the conditioning salt, often taken over a longer course. It also features in Combination 12, Combination D, Combination K and Combination U.

The Spray Format Explained

Instead of a lactose tablet, this Martin & Pleasance spray carries its 6X mineral salts in a liquid of purified water, glycerin and a little ethanol, which acts as a preservative. The result is lactose-free, dairy-free and sugar-free, which many people find more convenient than tablets. Each press releases 0.2ml straight into the mouth, a 30ml bottle provides roughly 150 sprays, and there's nothing to crush, chew or dissolve.

Where Tissue Salts Began

The tissue salt system was first set out in the 1870s by Dr Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler, a physician working in northern Germany. He believed that twelve mineral salts formed the basic building blocks of the body's cells and that keeping them in balance was central to everyday wellbeing. Rather than giving large mineral doses, he triturated each salt with milk sugar to create a very gentle preparation. Generations of families have since kept a few of his salts in the cupboard, and the original twelve are still made to the same principles today.

About the Brand

Martin & Pleasance has specialised in natural remedies for well over a century and is one of the most familiar names in tissue salts. Its Schuessler sprays sit alongside the classic tablets, offering the same 6X potency salts in a format that suits modern, busy routines and anyone who prefers to avoid lactose.

Building Your Routine

The traditional approach is little and often. Many people take the Silica spray four times a day as a maintenance routine, ideally half an hour before meals with the last dose at bedtime, and increase the frequency for short periods when they feel they need it. Keeping your doses away from strong mint, coffee and food is thought to help, and consistency over several weeks tends to matter more than any single dose.

Handy Tips

• Spray directly into the mouth, ideally half an hour before food
• Avoid strong mint or coffee around the time of a dose
• Do not use if the safety seal is broken
• Keep the cap on and store away from heat and sunlight
• Roughly 150 sprays per bottle

For a steady, beauty-from-within routine, the Silica spray is a classic tissue salt in an easy modern format.
