Boiron - Silicea 30 C 80 Pellets 57959

Used this product for my two dogs with anal gland issues. I used along side daily soaks of epsom salt but the combination helped them get back to normal function. My one dog struggled for quite awhile but without the product she kept getting infections in her anal glands.

After battling for months with dog with rear end issues I looked up homeopathic protocol and implemented it. Was tired of vet visits, prescriptions and a miserable dog. This remedy along with two others was exactly what was needed to get my pup on the mend.

I ordered the Boiron Homeopathic Silicea 30C pellets to back up a purchase I made at a health store. I have used Boiron products in the past for ear aches and tonsillitis. This purchase was suggested to assist in healing an abscess after the cyst burst. Before the pilonidal cyst burst, she was taking hot sitz baths of Ginger powder (loose not pills) and Epsom Salts in the bath water then a heating pad over the area. This way we did not force the cyst to burst, but let the heat help bring it to a head. Once the cyst burst, we were instructed to use the Silicea, we did not continue the sitz baths but a heating pad placed over the area.The abscess instructions were to take 4 pellets, every 4 hours for 7-10 days. Avoid eating anything for an hour before and at least an hour after. No water was prescribed but I always suggest put the pellets under the tongue to dissolve. Under the tongue are the largest veins so absorption begins quickly without digestive interference. Within 1 day, we found the weeping wound ooze was slowing down. The point of the Silicea was to make sure all the abscess emptied. She went to work after a 2 full days rest at home and an antibiotic prescribed by the doctor. Unfortunately she is not perfect at taking the pellets, but I encourage her to keep with the program to help her immune system deal with it without a relapse. I found the instructions by searching and found a blog about pilonidal abscess.

Age 73. For no apparent reason, my hair started falling out. I read that if our adrenal glands are compromised, from trauma, stress, etc., the silica your hair, skin and nails need, goes to your adrenal glands. I bought this product and within weeks I could see baby hairs growing back. My hair is back!

The pellets are easy to take and the small tube is convenient to keep around. They dissolve quickly and do not have a strong taste. I like that the format is simple and does not require water. I just do not think it is doing anything because I have not noticed a real change in fatigue. It may work differently for other people, but the effect was not clear for me. Overall it is easy to use, but I would not expect obvious results.
