Why You Need Tissue Salts In Your Life
Have you heard or seen tissue salts (aka cell salts) at your local health food store or chemist? They look like a supplement, but they’re actually made using homeopathic manufacturing techniques.
What are tissue salts?
The human body contains 12 core mineral salts (tissue salts) and a proper balance of these is required for healthy cellular function and optimal health.
Over 150 years ago, Dr Schuessler, the pioneer of tissue salts, noted that when the human body is reduced to ashes it leaves only 12 mineral salts. The body needs 12 mineral salt to survive and thrive. Schussler believed that dis-ease or illness is a sign of imbalance of these mineral salts in the cell and health can be restored by supplying these small, absorbable tissue salts to the body.
In summary, tissue salts gives the cells the foods and substrate needed, so the cells works effectively.
How to use tissue salts?
Schuessler found that the most effective way to assimilate these salts was through a homeopathically prepared micro dose, which passes rapidly into the bloodstream and therefore into our cells.
You can use tissue salts for acute issues or as a first aid prescription, but I often use them for patients alongside homeopathic prescriptions or as a stand-alone homeopathic medicine.
I typically prescribed them in a 6X or as a Schusseler preparation that is available from chemists/health food stores.
I love to use tissue salts for acute ailments, first aid situations, chronic complaints, as well an all rounder multi-mineral. They’re safe to use for vulnerable/changing stages of life including pregnancy, newborn, children and elderly.
