The homeopathic medicine Silicum acidum (Silicea, Silicea, Silicea terra) is used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, control of alcohol addiction, treatment of mental disorders and for the prevention of many pathologies of internal organs.
Treatment with the drug continues for a long time, positive dynamics are observed from the second week . Taking the medicine normalizes metabolic processes in the body, relieves nervous tension and helps prevent the disease from becoming a chronic process.
Description Silicum acidum (Silicea)
Silicum acidum (Silicea) is prepared from silicic acid . Homeopathy uses pure silica obtained from rock crystals.
Silica is found in all plants and is a support for cells : the more substance there is in a plant, the higher the strength of its stems.
Note! In the human body, Silica is also present in every organ. A large percentage of its content falls on the lymph nodes, stomach muscles, and blood. Silica is necessary in the human body to maintain elasticity, strength of the epithelium and connective tissue. The substance affects the walls of blood vessels, the condition of tendons and skin. It promotes the processes of scarring and granulation.
Patient drug Silicea
These are chilly people with cold extremities. Their abrasions and wounds do not heal for a long time. They often suffer from skin diseases.
Exacerbation of diseases usually occurs during the cold season, especially with increased dampness and humidity.
Such people are prone to underestimating themselves, lack self-confidence, and often become confused. They are afraid to fail in their endeavors. They are very difficult to climb, but when they get down to business they cope with it quite successfully.
These are soft, tender, tearful, skinny women. Children are whiny, do not communicate well, and are developmentally delayed.
For people with similar symptoms, taking Silicea will be very helpful.
Psychological portrait and physiology of the patient
The Silicea type patient has the following qualities:
- tendency to chronic pathologies at the mental and physical level;
- tendency to form tumors and lumps;
- brittle nails and brittle hair;
- jams and cracks in the corners of the mouth.

He is often subject to obsessions and remorse. Source: flickr (Riris). The patient is afraid of repeating past negative experiences, but his behavior is often characterized by cyclical behavior, repeating past mistakes with the expectation of a different result.
This type does not like change; it is difficult for him to adapt to new conditions . The Silicum Acidum patient tends to be constant in small things. Men are very conservative; women try to avoid moving and making any other changes in life.
Children of this type begin to sit and walk much later than their peers. The child has a tendency to intolerance to certain foods.
In homeopathy, there are the following indications for the use of the drug Silicea:
- an intellectual who lacks confidence and support;
- devoted to the profession; wants to be highly valued, so he overworks himself;
- despite his gentleness, he is a very stubborn person, loves precision;
- chilly, but sweats easily and is thirsty;
- worse from getting wet, cold;
- sweating of the feet, worse from suppression;
- any damage leads to suppuration;
- cannot fight infection, is weak, slow and often sick;
- damage to glands, nails, hair;
- feels like a splinter or a hair;
- people with large heads experience pain in the head, better from pressure and heat.
Action and adverse reactions
The use of the drug in homeopathy is due to the following actions:
- regulation of tissue nutrition and stimulation of metabolic processes;
- increasing the elasticity of ligaments and tendons;
- reduction of manifestations of physical fatigue;
- increasing the body's resistance to infections;
- restoration of silicon exchange;
- normalization of connective tissue production.
The drug Silicea is used both for the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with the eyes, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and skin.
Adverse reactions to treatment with silicicum acidum (Silicea) appear at the initial stage of its use . The patient may feel a general deterioration in his condition with headaches, weakness, changes in blood pressure, and attacks of nausea.

Effect on the body
In homeopathy, the drug is used to regulate tissue nutrition processes: its use can significantly increase the elasticity of tendons and ligaments. Also, it perfectly stimulates metabolic processes. It has been noted that this homeopathic remedy can reduce physical fatigue, as a result of which the body’s ability to resist infections significantly increases. Silicea allows you to restore silicon metabolism, while also normalizing the production of connective tissue. The medicine is actively used as therapy and for the prevention of diseases of the eyes, skin, musculoskeletal system and nervous system.
For what diseases is it prescribed?
Indications for the use of silicicum acidum (Silicea) are: purulent processes, pathologies of the nervous system, skin and eye diseases, dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, childhood diseases.
The drug is prescribed for: boils and carbuncles, prolonged wound healing, for rapid recovery after surgery. The medicine is indicated for chronic headaches, fatigue, migraines. Indications will be tremor, epilepsy, somnambulism,
In gynecology, the drug helps with inflammatory diseases of the fallopian tubes, endometriosis.
For dermatological diseases, indications will be acne, ulcers, eczema, fungal disease, and a tendency to calluses on the soles.

The drug is indicated for children and adults to dry out blisters and prevent the spread of infection. The gel must be applied up to 5 times a day until the blisters are completely healed.
Excerpts from the book by I.V. Dolinina “Find out your type and get cured.”
This is silica or quartz. After oxygen, silicon is the most abundant element. In nature, it exists in the form of white clay, asbestos, feldspars, and rock crystal.
The compounds are found in all plants, determining the strength of their stems. There is especially a lot of silica in bamboo, cereals and horsetail. Found in animals, and in humans the highest levels are found in lymph nodes, hair, stomach, adrenal glands, and blood.
Silicon was introduced into medicine by Paracelsus and was used to treat urolithiasis, nervous disorders, skin problems, and respiratory diseases.
Silicon compounds have been used in homeopathy since the time of Hahnemann. Without them, the practice of a homeopathic pediatrician is unthinkable. After all, the medicine Silicea is the “queen of childhood pathologies.” The drug is used to treat rickets, retarded physical development, frequent colds, and all kinds of skin problems.
The main indications for the use of Silicea are diseases of the nervous system (headaches, neuritis and neuralgia, insomnia, somnambulism, epilepsy), eye pathology (styes, conjunctivitis, cataracts), problems with the ENT organs (otitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis). Silicea helps with diseases of the respiratory system (chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma), skin diseases (boils, eczema, neurodermatitis, ulcers), problems of the gastrointestinal tract (chronic constipation, rectal prolapse), gynecological pathology (infertility, endometritis, fibroma, mastitis ).
Through long-term testing, a type of patient who is particularly sensitive to Silicea has been identified. Let's try to understand the character of a silicone man.
MAN SILICEA
Silicea is thin, pale, with thin limbs and a large head. She looks weak and tired. The face may be sallow in color or have a waxy pallor. The forehead is high and lumpy. The eyes are gray, sunken, with styes on the eyelids. The nose is straight or slightly snub (but sometimes with a hump). The lips are swollen (especially the upper one). The neck is thin, the shoulders are stooped. The hair is soft, does not maintain its style well, splits at the ends, and falls out easily.
Silicea has increased sweating (the head and feet sweat), but antiperspirants are harmful to her. It has long been noted that when the excretory function of the skin is suppressed, Silicea develops quite serious internal disorders. Such a person’s nails are brittle, ribbed, and have white spots. Acne marks and old scars (after vaccination or injury) are noticeable on the skin. Silicea's skeletal system is weak - the spine and legs can be curved, which leads to lameness.
Silicea's handwriting is neat, the letters are round and large.
More details in the books of Dolinina I.V.
Homeopathic manuals report the following about Silicea: “conscientiousness, commitment”, “obsessive thoughts, attention to detail”, “caring, delicacy”, “slowness, timidity”, “emotional dependence on others”, “dedication to work”, “the desire to evade solving serious problems”, “low self-esteem”, “neatness, pickiness”, “desire to be hypnotized”, “memories of the past”, “fixed ideas”.
Already based on these characteristics, we can conclude that Silicea is an introvert who is well versed in the system of ethical relations and the capabilities of others. She tries to develop logic throughout her life, which requires a lot of effort. And willpower is a painful place for such a person. It is present (“apathy and spinelessness are contraindications for the use of Silicea”), but is located in the mobilization zone, the point of least resistance. Therefore, Silicea can demonstrate stoicism, while in fact being fragile and stress-resistant.
The need to stand up for herself requires enormous internal tension from her. Silicea cannot speak categorically or lead a rigid line of behavior. She does not like it when her strong-willed qualities are discussed. Silica hardness has a defensive mechanism and will never be used offensively. If it is necessary to apply volitional pressure, such a person will first logically try to convince himself of the need for such a step.
Silicea takes a long time to prepare herself for decisive action, so she always loses in competition with fast types. While such a person is trying to find compromise options, time is running out, and the moment of victory has already passed. In fact, Silicea does not want victory because she is afraid of it.
She is pleased to be next to a strong, powerful person who has achieved a lot. The “desire to be hypnotized” echoes this. Silicea does not consider it shameful to use the offered help of an influential person (although this happens extremely rarely).
She has a good memory of past events and can see into the near future. Silicea draws up a daily routine, reminds relatives and colleagues at what time a meeting is scheduled, an event is planned. She cares about the time of others and will not abuse it. In this way, Silicea is similar to Natrum muriaticum.
Best of all, the image of Silicea echoes the image of an hourglass. They contain silicon in the form of sand, which is fenced off from the outside world by hard transparent glass (fragile silicate protection). An hourglass is a materialized flowing time divided into “small segments”. So the Silice Man seems to be telling us with his whole life: “Don’t think down on seconds.”
The philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca wrote very siliceous letters to his friend Lucilius (Seneca can be classified as a type Natrum muriaticum). “Do so, my Lucilius! Conquer yourself for yourself, take care and save the time that was previously taken away from you or stolen, which was wasted. Take a closer look: after all, we spend the largest part of our lives on bad deeds, a considerable part on idleness, and our whole life on the wrong things. That’s our trouble, that we see death ahead, but most of it is behind us... don’t miss an hour. If you hold today in your hands, you will depend less on tomorrow. Only time, elusive and flowing, has been given to us by nature. Mortals are stupid... those who have given time do not consider themselves debtors. Perhaps you will ask what I am doing if I dare to teach you? The situation with me is the same as with the majority of those who did not reach poverty through their own vice. Well, so what? In my opinion, those who have even the smallest balance are not poor. Be healthy!"
She doesn't have the looks of a movie star, but she can be attractive to men tired of female emancipation. Silicea is impressionable, trusting, fragile - you just want to protect and warm it. Her appearance promises a man a “safe haven.” Such a woman can get along even with someone for whom she does not have ardent feelings (ardor is not characteristic of her at all).
She is a good listener (what else does Nux vomica, Lachesis or Phosphorus need?), needs advice and guidance. Silicea is somewhat shy and unsure of herself, so she is unlikely to take the first step towards acquaintance or rapprochement. She needs clear instructions from her partner - time, place of meeting, program of action, forecast for the future. Remember what the Fairy said to Cinderella - “Now hurry to the ball, have fun there with all your heart.” When it strikes twelve times, everything will disappear at that very hour!”
Silicea is very reminiscent of Cinderella in her meekness, diligence, hard work, and desire to sort everything into categories (“sort out the black and white beans”). She avoids conflicts, and tries to correct the crisis of relations at the cost of her own concessions. But still, her compliance has its limits. Although Cinderella tried to put the shoe on her stepsister’s foot, at the decisive moment she was not afraid to put it on herself and take the second one out of her pocket.
Due to a sense of duty, Silicea can maintain outdated marital relationships, but when they acquire a particularly unfavorable development, she leaves irrevocably. He tries to reconcile his quarreling acquaintances. For everyone with whom he comes in contact, he tries to create conditions of psychological comfort.
Silicea reacts attentively to advice (even if it is absurd), and will thank you for help (even if it is inappropriate). She is aristocratic with her intelligence and innate delicacy. Knows how to keep other people's secrets, is not capable of treason or open betrayal.
Silicea can be drawn into intrigue against her will. But she gets out of this painful state by breaking off relations with the schemer. And after that, he will no longer assume initial goodwill and good intentions in people.
In the name of friendship and love, Silicea can even take on someone else's guilt (although Natrum muriaticum is more inclined to this). She does everything possible not to offend anyone or make enemies. Never forgets kindness towards himself. Evil will also remember, but will not take revenge. Simply isolate yourself from the offender with an invisible psychological barrier.
It is difficult for her to subordinate her feelings to reason. She will not see negative qualities in a nice person, and then may suffer from excessive gullibility.
Silicea is calm about her appearance. She will not admire her reflection in street windows (like Phosphorus), will not change her hair color weekly (like Chamomilla), will not demand daily compliments (like Belladona) and will not draw attention to imaginary shortcomings in order to emphasize advantages (like Cohosh).
The main thing for her is not to irritate others with her appearance. Silicea chooses calm tones - gray, beige, brown. Dresses discreetly, comfortably and neatly. Does not use bright contrasting combinations. He is reluctant to use cosmetics and does not cover his gray hair.
Keeping the house in order takes Silicea a lot of time and effort. While cleaning, she gets distracted by unimportant trifles and is struck by memories when she discovers an old photograph or a forgotten children's toy.
He cooks strictly according to recipes, but the result is something that doesn’t look like homemade food. She doesn’t mind if her husband or older daughter takes over the cooking.
Silicea has a good relationship with children. She sees their positive potential and unobtrusively tries to develop it. He will not press, shout, force, prohibit. Instead, he will find other ways of influence. Silicea is an attentive, patient and caring teacher. She tries to protect children from possible dangers, instill in them a sense of responsibility and accuracy.
Silicea and Arsen can have a good marriage. Both are rational, only Arsen has developed logic, and Silicea has emotions. They do not irritate each other, but gently complement each other. A long-term union of Silicea with Natrum Muriaticum is possible, but they will be less interested in each other due to the great similarity of characters.
Cinderella Silicea can be carried away by the prince - Phosphorus. Their marriage can only be maintained by Silicea’s compliance and turning a blind eye to phosphorus fleeting romances and affairs.
Silicea is a good performer who requires specific instructions from above. Silicea is diligent, strictly follows methods and a logical plan. Her problem is getting stuck in details, the inability to stop due to constant qualitative improvement of her work. If you do not interrupt this “swarming”, the result of labor can turn into its opposite. Silicea subconsciously feels this, so she prefers to have her work checked by a competent, decisive person who would not let her get lost in the details.
Silicea is a responsible worker who strictly carries out assigned tasks. She has a certain respect for the rules, and she understands instructions literally and follows them meticulously. This leads to formalism and literalism.
Silicea works without rest, constantly being in worries. She continuously improves and organizes the surrounding reality, experiencing dissatisfaction from what can be done even better.
Loves precision and usefulness. All her activities are focused on obtaining practical results. She perceives reality through the prism of evaluating effectiveness and practical value.
Silicea's motto: “Everything should have its own meaning and purpose.” Such an employee treats government property with care. Appreciates well-organized working conditions and takes care of the workplace. Economical, strives to make production waste-free. Values his own and other people's time.
He has a rather modest opinion about his business qualities. We are inspired by recommendations from outside. When reporting on the work done, he can focus on shortcomings. By this she wants to make it clear that she is capable of more.
However, not every boss will correctly appreciate such a veiled hint. As a result, Silicea, who did everything on time and perfectly, may not receive bonuses. And Phosphorus, whom she helped in his work, can be set as an example for herself. And all because Phosphorus does not doubt his exclusivity, and Silicea is not confident in herself.
She devotes as much effort to her work as the most careful execution requires. He often takes something home for the weekend and stays overtime. It is often exploited, taking advantage of the fact that Silicea is inconvenient to refuse additional loads.
But you should not abuse her complaisance for a long time. For Silicea, a sense of solidarity with colleagues and management is very important. If her boss ignores her diligence or assigns work that is too primitive, not suitable for her abilities or position, the humble performer may protest. Most often, in the form of a resignation letter.
Silicea is observant, able to discern the slightest shades of meaning, critical and prone to analysis. In a situation of the necessary choice of one of many possibilities, she is indecisive and hesitates until circumstances exert volitional pressure.
Such a person is prone to systematization and putting things into pieces. Methodical in his quiet tenacity. It is easier for him to act within established limits, strictly defined boundaries. Because within these boundaries it is easy to observe and control what is happening. Only under these conditions can Silicea find a point of balance in its relationship with matter and bring infinity to its logical end.
In communication, such a person tries to give the impression of being reasonable and rational. At the same time, there is some dryness of expression, servitude and lack of a sense of humor. For the sake of dedicated service to a distant goal, Silicea learns to adapt to a changing situation. It changes shape, but quickly hardens into a new guise. So sometimes it seems that it is easier to break than to transform.
Good at assessing the abilities and potential of other people. Therefore, he can establish himself as a personnel worker, psychologist, teacher, and literary critic.
Attentive to your health. He is fond of diets (raw food, separate meals). Can become a good doctor, pharmacist, nutritionist. The only thing that is not recommended for her is working as a physiotherapist (Silicea is very sensitive to electricity and magnetic fields).
The ability to understand relationships and emotions, to express one’s thoughts well, gives Silicea the opportunity to try herself as a writer (less often, a journalist).
Precision in detail leads her to the professions of an accountant, watchmaker, laboratory assistant, secretary, and small wholesale merchant (haberdashery, food products).
More details in the books of Dolinina I.V.
From Silicea you should not expect high organizational abilities, a tough and decisive reaction in an extreme situation, enterprise and initiative, speed and mobilization. All professions in which these qualities are necessary are contraindicated for her.
At work, Silicea is usually loved. She doesn’t “pick up” anyone, doesn’t gossip, doesn’t engage in idle talk. He can help with advice and deeds, lend a small amount. He doesn’t curry favor with his superiors, he doesn’t play favorites. With his modest, neat appearance, he doesn’t get on anyone’s nerves. She is delicate, tactful, hardworking. Despite his remarkable qualities, he can remain a “junior laboratory assistant” all his life, doing dissertations for his superiors and more successful colleagues.
Or maybe she doesn’t need anything else? Psychotype Silicea – introverted ethics
DISEASES OF SILICEA
Decompensated Silicea comes to the appointment. Her main internal problems are: fear of losing peace, making mistakes or being left alone.
The first phobia is caused by dreams of robbers or pursuers (ghosts, large dogs). The second type of phobia is reflected in dreams of floods, rapid flows of water, and dizziness. Finally, the third phobia manifests itself in dreams about long-past events. Phobias (fears) - treatment with homeopathy
Fears prevent you from expressing your feelings openly. A protective fence from the world is formed, which over time turns into a vicious circle. Emotions are replaced by prejudices, superstitions, and, at best, by religion. Protective rituals arise (based on obsessive thoughts and ideas - fix). Timidity (“fear of public speaking”), slowness (“the feeling of being in two places at once”), and emotional dependence on others (“the desire to be hypnotized”) are increasing. Obsessions - treatment with homeopathy
The torpidity of Silicea concerns not only mental processes. Its slowness, “ossification” and constant return to the past are also manifested on the physical level. Neurasthenia – treatment with homeopathy
These are protracted inflammatory processes resulting in suppuration, the formation of adhesions (adhesions), compactions in the connective tissue (scars and tumors).
An unsatisfied desire for security, understanding and love finds its manifestation in skin symptoms. These include foul-smelling sweating of the feet and head (during sleep), hair loss and early graying, brittle nails, all kinds of rashes (eczema, neurodermatitis). “Old” Silicea is characterized by: recurrent furunculosis, keloid scars, warts, and painful calluses.
Such a patient has affected joints (metabolic and rheumatic arthritis), bones (osteomyelitis, curvature, fistulas). Silicea has weak ENT organs (otitis media, chronic tonsillitis, nasal polyps). She has reduced thermal adaptation (does not tolerate cold well - her head gets especially cold). Bulimia, anorexia - treatment with homeopathy
Silicon, from which Silicea is prepared, is associated with the strength and shape of human organs and plays a huge role in the development of connective tissue.
Therefore, the drug Silicea has a positive effect on the immune system. Its effect is especially pronounced in the treatment of silicate children. Such a child is born weak, with low weight. He is narrow-chested, with a large head, sweats profusely, and is lagging behind in physical development (late closure of the fontanelles, late teeth, rickets). The exudative diathesis of such a child turns into persistent neurodermatitis by the age of four.
The child “does not recover from infections” and cannot attend kindergarten. With age, its connective tissue stretches: visual acuity decreases (the eyeball lengthens), dislocations in the joints are frequent (tendon extensibility), and internal organs droop (ligamentous weakness). As a pathological compensation for sprains, compactions appear: chalazions, scars, warts, tumors.
Treatment with the homeopathic drug Silicea helps to even out imbalances on both the physical and mental levels. Depression – treatment with homeopathy

SILICEA IN HISTORY
(Frederic Chopin)
Fryderyk Chopin was born on the outskirts of Warsaw. His father was a home teacher in the family of Count Skarbek, and his mother was a distant relative of the Count himself. After the birth of their son, the Chopin family moved to Warsaw, where the father opened a boarding house for students of the Warsaw Lyceum.
Fryderyk's parents were very musical. His father played the flute and violin, his mother the piano. Their son's musical talent manifested itself very early. Seven-year-old Chopin was already a favorite of aristocratic salons and performed for the first time at a public concert.
The father rejoiced at his son’s success, but was in no hurry to make him an artist. The boy was sent to study at the Lyceum, where the elder Chopin taught French. Fryderyk had a special penchant for literature and history, wrote witty poetry, and drew well. In 1826, he graduated from the Lyceum and entered the Warsaw Higher Music School in the composition department.
The aristocratic life of Warsaw was in full swing; famous virtuosos often came there to give concerts. The young Chopin was especially impressed by the performance of Niccolo Paganini. Simultaneously with the music school, Fryderyk attended classes at the University of Warsaw. And shortly before graduation, his father gave him the opportunity to visit Berlin, where Chopin enjoyed the music of Handel and Weber in the famous Berlin theater.
In 1829, Frederick received a musical education and traveled to Vienna, where he was enthusiastically received as an author and performer. Chopin's father rightly believed that his son's talent needed musical impressions, and the development of talent required the atmosphere of European capitals. But Fryderyk remained in Warsaw, where his first love, the young singer Konstancia Gladkowska, held him. During this period, Chopin created two Concertos for piano and orchestra, one of which he dedicated to his beloved.
In the fall of 1829, the twenty-year-old composer left his father's house and went to Austria. Vienna greeted him friendly. Fryderyk acquired new friends and admirers of his talent. The famous doctor Malfatti, a court physician and a great lover of music, had a special affection for the musician.
Despite his life full of impressions, Chopin missed his family and his beloved Constance. And when news of popular unrest came from Warsaw, I decided to return immediately. At this time, a letter arrived from his father, in which he categorically forbade his son to go to the Polish capital, which was in the grip of an uprising.
Frederick did not dare to disobey and sent back letters full of melancholy and despair. He spent several months in anxiety until he received permission to leave Vienna and go to Paris. On the way, Chopin received news that the uprising had been suppressed. Impressed by bitter feelings, he wrote a sketch that was called revolutionary.
In the autumn of 1831, Frederick arrived in Paris, the center of all European culture. In those years, musicians Liszt, Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Rossini shone there, and writers Hugo, Heine, Musset, and Mickiewicz worked there. This is how Franz Liszt describes his own impressions of meeting Chopin: “He was of average height, fragile in build, with movements full of grace. His blue eyes were more spiritual than dreamy, his smile thin and soft, but never proud. The complexion was delicate and transparent, the blond hair was silky, the nose was expressively curved.”
For playing music, Chopin preferred not large halls, but the intimate atmosphere of salons. He was a unique improviser with a unique performance style. Life in Paris required funds, and Fryderyk gave private lessons and negotiated with publishers, offering them his works.
Despite his enormous success with the public, Chopin often had to feel social inequality. His music was presented “for dessert” after luxurious dinner parties, and the applauding aristocracy did not perceive the maestro as an equal. At the age of twenty-six, the maestro fell in love with the daughter of a well-born Polish magnate, Maria Wodzinskaya. The composer dreamed of connecting his life with this girl, but circumstances were against it.
In addition to class prejudices, the deterioration of his health played a role - at the age of twenty-five, Chopin experienced a severe exacerbation of tuberculosis, which he had suffered from since his youth. It is clear that the beloved’s parents did not want to see a poor, sick musician as their daughter’s groom.
Since 1838, Frederick linked his fate with the writer George Sand (Baroness Aurore Dudevant). This bright woman was of royal origin. She was raised in a monastery until she was seventeen, then she got married and gave birth to two children. Aurora professed views free from prejudice: she dressed extravagantly, smoked cigars and chose her own lovers. She usually wrote at night and had a truly amazing ability to work.
George Sand was the first French writer who began to live from her literary work. At the age of twenty-eight, her novel Indiana appeared under a male pseudonym. George Sand proved that a woman can be independent and play a significant role in cultural and political life. Balzac and Heine, Liszt and Delacroix, Mickiewicz and Pauline Viardot visited her house. With Chopin they were rather opposites. He is a delicate, reserved aristocrat, she is an ardent, passionate radical.
The lovers spent the winter in Paris, the summer in the Nohan estate. In the autumn of 1838 they decided to go to Spain to the island of Mallorca. Aurora believed that the warm climate would benefit Fryderyk. Indeed, blooming nature had a beneficial effect on Chopin. But the time of rain came, and the travelers understood why the mansion in which they stayed was called the “House of the Winds.” There was no fireplace, and coal braziers did not protect against dampness and drafts. Chopin caught a bad cold and became seriously ill. They were forced to leave this place and found shelter in a mountain monastery, where conditions were not much better.
With the onset of spring, Fryderyk and Aurora returned to France. At Nohan's estate, Chopin felt a little better. He lived with Georges Sand for more than eight years, finally separating in 1847. Chopin had only two years to live. George Sand outlived him for a long time and died in 1876 at the age of seventy-two.
The last years of Fryderyk's life were joyless. He lost his father and best friend to tuberculosis. Despite his poor health, the maestro was forced to work hard due to his poor financial situation. The trip to England completely undermined my health. The British climate had a detrimental effect on the composer, and he returned to Paris completely ill. At Fryderyk's request, his older sister and her daughter came to see him. They supported the maestro until his death.
It is most likely that Chopin belonged to the Silicean type. Such a person has suffered from frequent colds since childhood, has a reduced immune system, is prone to tuberculosis, is sophisticated, and respects the opinions of others.
The Silica personality combines hardness and fragility. The saying goes very well with it: “A drop wears away a stone.” Just as a person himself achieves his goal gradually, step by step, drop by drop, overcoming self-doubt, so unfavorable external factors gradually undermine his health.
Chopin, during the last exacerbation of tuberculosis, had a remarkable dream: as if he had drowned and was lying at the bottom of a lake, and heavy icy drops of water were steadily falling on his chest. This is a silicic dream, indicating the gradual but irreversible nature of the disease.
But Chopin continued to fight. In a letter to a friend who was also sick with tuberculosis, Fryderyk writes: “You know what kind of clay we are sculpted from and how many times I have already fallen apart, but was glued back together piece by piece.” “Clay” in this case is an accurate description of Silicea.
Chopin was treated by famous homeopaths of his time. These were Doctors Louis, Roth, Simon and Molen. “Only Molen possessed the secret that allowed me to get back on my feet,” Fryderyk wrote in his diary.
There is no doubt that Chopin's treatment with homeopaths improved the quality of his life and extended the period when he could create. Nowadays, Chopin's works are often used for music therapy. So, after a century and a half, the genius of a musician helps us not to lose faith in ourselves and to survive in difficult situations. More details in the books of Dolinina I.V. “Character and health”, “Find out your type and get cured”, “Greats and homeopathy”.
