Products concentrating silicon are horsetail, Jerusalem artichoke, radish, etc. Therefore, an inexhaustible source of silicon is vegetable food rich in fiber. In folk medicine, decoctions and liquid extracts from "silicon" wild plants are used to treat diseases associated with a lack of silicon (as well as as a diuretic).

Horsetail

The undisputed leader among them is the field horsetail. Given the high silicon content in the horsetail, it can be used to make tea and juice. Especially useful is its juice, which is prepared from plants harvested early in the morning before the dew dries. Fresh horsetail juice is recommended for the treatment of atherosclerosis of the vessels of the brain and heart. Silicon contained in horsetail juice together with vitamin C increases the body's immunity, allowing it to actively resist the causative agent of tuberculosis and a number of other diseases.

Preparations obtained from horsetail and other plants concentrating silicon have entered pharmaceutical practice and are used to treat diseases of the upper respiratory tract, inflammation of the gums and skin, as well as diuretics. For example, 50% horsetail extract is used to prevent the formation and resorption of scars on the skin. It is believed that the therapeutic effect of these drugs is mainly due to the content in them of a large amount of biologically active organic compounds. It is no less likely that silicon compounds, which are also likely to be organic in nature, play an important role in these preparations. Unlike inorganic ones, they are absorbed by the human body much easier.

Due to its irritating effect, horsetail preparations cannot be used by people suffering from kidney diseases - nephritis and nephrosis in severe forms.

Dandelion

Drinks are prepared from its inflorescences, ranging from delicious syrup to wine, dandelion petals are used to color dough and other dishes instead of saffron. Although for these purposes the petals of marigolds and marigolds are often dried, but, undoubtedly, dandelion is the most affordable raw material.

When boiling thick syrup, you get the so-called dandelion honey or dandelion jam. Properly prepared jam really tastes little from natural honey. This "honey" improves metabolism. In Czechoslovakia, it is prepared as a drink. Czech women and Slovaks really believe in its medicinal properties. They claim that dandelion honey rejuvenates, cleanses the blood, gives milky white skin with a blush, and treats various diseases.

Dandelions can be used in spring or already in September, after summer hibernation. This time they dig up the roots. Dandelion roots can be simply fried like potatoes. When heated, the bitterness disappears, the roots become sweetish. If the roots, roasted without oil, are slightly overcooked, until brown, you get a good and nutritious coffee substitute. It's even better than chicory.

The classic historical recipe for dandelion salad is Goethe's salad. The mother of the great German poet prepared this salad for him every day in the spring. Wolfgang Amadeus Goethe believed that it was to this recipe that he owed his "youth" and efficiency up to 84 years.

Radish

Contains 6.5% silicon in dry matter. Radish salads with sour cream, vegetable oil have a moderate choleretic, anti-edematous properties, promote better peristalsis and bowel emptying. Unlike tubers and root crops, radish does not inhibit pepsin activity. For dietary purposes, if there are no contraindications from the gastrointestinal tract, it is better to use wiped.

Boiled grated beets

This is one of the most effective means of improving the intestines, which also contributes to its rhythmic emptying. Beetroot dishes have a mild dehydration effect and help to actively contract the biliary tract. To some extent, they have a calming effect on the nervous system, maintain the proper tone of the blood vessels. And not only because of this, mashed boiled beets with vegetable oil or sour cream are an excellent snack before dinner. The intrinsic choleretic properties of beets are significantly increased.

The tops of young beets contain a lot of provitamin A, vitamins C and group B, as well as macro-, micro-, ultramicroelements, in particular silicon, and free organic acids. Therefore, cold soup made from young beets with tops (botvinia) is not only a delicious refreshing, but also healthy dish in every respect.

Table beets are also favorably distinguished by the fact that, when properly stored, they do not lose their nutritional and dietary advantages for a long time. And so that it remains juicy and loses less water-soluble vitamins and other valuable substances, before cooking in water or over steam, it is not recommended to cut the roots of the beet root and remove the skin, but you should always wash it thoroughly. Boil it in boiling sweetened water (1/4 teaspoon of sugar per liter of water). Compliance with these simple rules eliminates large discoloration of the beets.

Diet dishes are also considered with alat from boiled beets with horseradish; boiled chopped or mashed beets with boiled rice, boiled egg, raisins; boiled beets, grated or chopped, with grated raw apples or carrots, white cabbage, prunes, black currant juice, lemon, with nuts and grated cheese.

Nettle

Pour boiling water over the leaves of young nettle and let it brew for a while. The resulting broth can be drunk, and the nettle leaves can be chopped and added to the salad. When preparing dishes from nettle, one must not forget that vitamin K is not useful for everyone. Frequent consumption of summer nettle in food causes increased blood clotting, therefore, in old age, as well as those suffering from thrombophlebitis and varicose veins, it is better not to abuse nettle. Young nettles, especially spring nettles, do not have this effect.

A lot of silicon is found in pikulnik, knotweed, wheatgrass, coltsfoot, dandelion. It is recommended to cook 50 g of horsetail, pickle and nettle and 100 g of poultry knotweed. Pour a spoonful of this mixture with two cups of water and simmer over low heat until half the contents of the saucepan have boiled away. Silica is poorly soluble, so the herbs must be heated for a long time over low heat so that they are well brewed. Drink the infusion twice a day for half a glass.

There are also recipes for using silicon dioxide topically. Mother-and-stepmother, highlander bird, wheatgrass, horsetail, piculnik mix in equal amounts, then pour 2-3 tablespoons of this mixture with two glasses of water, boil for 15 minutes, add two tablespoons of vinegar, which preserves the liquid so that it does not cloud (this is a sign that the solution is spoiled). In the evening, wash your face with water, then with herbal infusion, and 2-3 times a week you need to wipe the whole body with it. The result of the application will be obvious. The skin will look younger.

There are recipes for using silica to treat cataracts. You can put a donut made of clay mixed with milk with cucumbers, dandelion leaves on the eyes (eyelids), on the forehead, above the eyes, on the area behind the ears.

In many cases, acne, which has been treated in various ways for 8-10 years without a positive result, healed within a few weeks by ingestion of silica.

In the practice of dentists, silica has helped to heal ulcerative inflammation of the gums. Inflammation of the gums was removed by him in 4-5 days.

A handful of horsetail is boiled in 1 glass of water for 30 minutes. This broth is drunk as tea, the hair is rinsed with it after washing to strengthen it, and for old people they make applications from a hot mixture on clay to hands, feet and neck, if the pain does not allow them to sleep or they go numb (Miroshnikova and Miroshnikov).

Flint water

There is an inverse relationship between the concentration of silicon in drinking water and the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. The aqueous solutions that form around the flint have a beneficial effect on our body. In silicon water, a structural water system is formed with a lattice of liquid silicon crystals so that there is no place for pathogenic microorganisms and foreign chemical elements in it. These foreign impurities are displaced from the water and precipitated. Therefore, when insisting on flint water, you should not use the bottom layer - up to 3-4 cm of flint. It's better to drain it.

Silicon water sustains life, it combines the taste and freshness of spring water, the purity and structure of melt water and the bactericidal properties of silver water. It is no coincidence that there is a tradition to lay out the bottom of wells with flint.

Today, many people use silica water to get rid of hypertension, trophic ulcers, burns, urolithiasis, inflammatory processes of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems, anemia, dysbiosis, boils, food poisoning, etc. When using water infused with flint, the coccal flora in the affected tissues decreases, and wounds heal quickly.

Experience shows that people who take activated silica water practically do not have malignant neoplasms, weakened immunity is restored, cholesterol in the blood decreases, which is especially important in obesity. Silicon water acts as a prophylactic agent against atherosclerosis, prevents wrinkles, promotes hair growth, strengthens blood vessels, mucous membranes and gums, prevents impotence and infertility, enhances the hemostatic properties of plasma, blood clotting.

The strength of construction cement mixed with silica water is increased by 20 percent. She is advised to water the plants to stimulate their growth and resist pests and diseases.

Silicon water is also used for salting vegetables. To do this, just put a piece of flint (1 square centimeter) in a three-liter container. Safety is guaranteed.

It is useful to cook teas, compotes, soups in flint water. It has no contraindications, but it is strictly forbidden to boil water with a flint stone in it - when boiling, flint significantly increases the bioactivity of water.

To prepare flint water, you need to place a piece of flint in a container of plain water at the rate of 1 cubic meter. cm in 1 liter of water and leave for seven days. After that, the water does not deteriorate for decades. The duration of the flint itself is not limited.

They contain a lot of silicon and some mineral waters, such as Borjomi.

The reasons for the therapeutic effect of flint water are largely unclear. All data on its healing properties are obtained exclusively by experience. Flint is a mineral formation consisting of quartz and chalcedony, the basis of which is silicon dioxide (or silica).

It is believed that the presence of fossilized organic matter in silicon makes it a phenomenal biocatalyst capable of accelerating redox reactions in water thousands of times, imparting healing properties to it. Flint, combining with water, suppresses the bacteria of putrefaction and fermentation, removes the dead pathogenic microflora and hazardous compounds of metals dissolved in water: zinc, lead, cadmium, iron. It is noteworthy that water taken from almost any source becomes drinkable after three days of interaction with silicon.

Conclusion: It's about silicon, but not just silicon

Thus, silicon concentrating plants and silicon water can make up for the lack of silicon in your body and help eliminate various toxicants from the body. However, the most optimal is a combination of a food diet and trace element preparations. The balance of the content of various elements in the composition of our body can be of paramount importance when certain diseases appear. Therefore, it is so necessary to take into account the recommendations for the use of these elements.

1. With weakness of joints and ligaments, as well as poor posture and spine, attention should be paid to the introduction of elements such as copper, silicon, manganese into food.
2. With a decrease in bone density and bone fragility, manganese, calcium, magnesium, silicon, copper are needed.
3. For hair loss, zinc, selenium, silicon are needed.
4. With poor hair and nail growth, zinc, selenium, silicon, magnesium are required.
5. In case of inflammation and irritation of the skin, zinc, selenium, silicon should be introduced with products.
6. With brittle nails, problems arise with silicon, selenium.
7. To restore disturbed lactation, the body must be provided with magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, silicon.
