Tissue Salts
What are Tissue Salts?
Tissue salts (cell salts or biochemic salts) are minerals which our bodies need, in order to maintain good health.
They were discovered by a 19th century German doctor, Dr. Scheussler. He discovered that when human body cells are reduced to ash, they contained 12 mineral salts.
These mineral salts are:
Calcium Fluoride (Calc. Fluor.)
Calcium Phosphate (Calc. Phos.)
Calcium Sulphate (Calc. Sulph.)
Iron Phosphate (Ferr. Phos.)
Potassium Chloride (Kali. Mur.)
Potassium Phosphate (Kali. Phos.)
Potassium Sulphate (Kali. Sulph.)
Magnesium Phosphate (Mag. Phos.)
Sodium Chloride (Nat. Mur.)
Sodium Phosphate (Nat. Phos.)
Sodium Sulphate (Nat. Sulph.)
Silica (Silica)
Tissue salts have proved to work remarkably quickly and effectively. They are generally available in two forms:
As minute amounts of the salt, in a lactose-base soluable tablet
As minutes amounts of the salt in an alchohol base, for those who are severely lactose-intolerant.
The tablets, one or two at a time, are usually placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve. The salts are absorbed into the bloodstream via the bloodvessels under the tongue, thus becoming immediately available, instead of having to wind their way through the digestive system.
Alternatively, the tablets can be crushed and dissolved in a little water.
The liquid form of the salts is usually dissolved in water and drunk.
The Biochemical Tissue Salts:
#1 - CALC FLUOR (Calcium Fluoride)
Assists with cracks in the skin, loss of elasticity, relaxed condition of the veins and arteries, piles, sluggish circulation, loose teeth, muscle strain and injured ligaments. Strengthens blood vessels, bones and teeth.
#2 - CALC PHOS (Calcium Phosphate)
Supports anaemia in puberty, blood coagulation problems, general circulation, bone weakness and rickets. Assists digestion and assimilation. Good for bones and teeth. Helps prevent muscle cramps and pain during menstruation.
#3 (#12) - CALC SULPH ( Calcium Sulphate)
Helps clear pimples, sore throat, colds and conditions relating to impurities of the blood. Beneficial for wound healing, boils, carbuncles, ulcers, abscesses, etc.
#4 (#3) - FERRUM PHOS (Phosphate of Iron)
Congestion, inflammatory pain, high temperature, quickened pulse and low red blood corpuscles count. Carries Oxygen throughout the body. Beneficial during the first stage of acute diseases like the common cold, bronchitis, respiratory infection, acute rheumatism, etc. Iron assists in resistance to disease.
#5 (#4) - KALI MUR (Potassium Chloride)
Sluggish conditions, catarrhs, sore throat, glandular swelling, white coloured tongue, light coloured stools, coughs, common colds, wheeziness and chestiness. Aids the reduction of mucus congestion curing colds and sinusitis. Supports the lymphatic glands, and thick white or greyish skin discharges, or swollen glands and middle ear infections. Use in conjunction with Ferrum Phosphate.
#6 (#5) - KALI PHOS ( Potassium Phosphate)
Tension headaches, lack of energy, irritability, skin ailments, insomnia, depression, timidity and tantrums in children. Nerve tonic, helps with stress, emotional irritability, depression and nervousness.
#7 (#6) - KALI SULPH ( Potassium Sulphate)
Intestinal disorders, stomach catarrh, inflammatory conditions, rheumatic pains, eruptions on the skin and scalp with scaling, dandruff, and shifting pains. Has a beneficial effect on respiratory and circulatory functions when taken in conjunction with Phosphate of Iron.
#8 (#7) - MAG PHOS (Magnesium Phosphate)
Menstrual pains, stomach cramps, flatulence, neuralgia, sciatica, headaches with darting stabs of pain, cramps, toothache, neuralgia, muscular twitching and minor nerve problems. Remedy for colic in babies. Assists with exhaustion due to emotional upset.
#9 (#8) - NAT MUR (Sodium Chloride)
Low spirits, headaches with constipation, heartburn, toothache, hay fever, craving for salt and salty foods, and weak eyes. Helps with watery colds - runny nose and eye watering symptoms. May also assist with tissue dryness, constipation and certain conditions of backache, or digestive disturbances.
#10 (#9) - NAT PHOS (Sodium Phosphate)
Stiffness and swelling of the joints, acidic blood conditions, gastric indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, intestinal worms, and mild rheumatic tendencies, lumbago, and golden-yellow coating at root of tongue. Important for maintaining the alkalinity of the blood, emulsifying fatty acids and keeping uric acid soluble in the blood.
#11 (#10) - NAT SULPH (Sodium Sulphate)
Influenza, humid asthma, malaria, liver & digestive ailments, brownish green coating of the tongue, bitter taste in mouth. Balances water volume in tissues and eliminates excess fluid. Aids the liver, spleen and kidneys.
#12 (#11) - SILICA (Silicon Oxide)
Body odour, pus formation, abscesses, boils, tonsillitis, brittle nails, and stomach pains. Encourages detoxification of the body by elimination, suppuration and the discharge of wastes, abscesses and boils, etc.
BIOCHEMIC PHOSPHATES (ALL 5 PHOSPHATES)
Great combination for supporting those over used nerves, especially during school exam time, overtime at work, or when under pressure to perform. Helps improve mental clarity.
COMBINATION 12
A combination all 12 essential cell salts that are beneficial for creating a proper balance of mineral salts throughout the body, and for promoting and supporting general good health. Take additional individual salts for specific ailments.
