Nail biting, Thumb sucking
This article was taken from “Healthy Options” magazine.
Nail biting is considered an
antisocial problem. Yet when you understand why a child or an adult bite their
nails, then you may feel more compassionate.
The main reason for people biting
their nail is because the silica level has dropped in their body. Nature then
demands an immediate reimbursement. The easiest way of course is to absorb it
back through our two silica constituents –your nails and your hair. So that the
human instinct to replacing the much needed silica is to nibble on the nails
or, in some cases, suck their hair. Even fiddling with their hair is an
indicator, so is the child sucking his thumb.
Instead of growling at a nail bitter
of a thumb sucker, may be you can suggest that they replace the lost mineral
silica. This can be done through eating fruits and vegetables with skin on, or
through the Biochenmic Cell Salt. Silica, which is available at your local
health food store.
