Tissue salts, discovered by Dr. Wilhelm Schüssler in the 19th century, are 12 essential inorganic minerals found naturally in the body. These include calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and silica. They are crucial for the structural integrity of cells and facilitate vital biochemical processes. Despite their presence in our bodies, an unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, and stress can deplete these essential minerals, leading to potential health issues.
Here's an overview of twelve tissue salts and their role in the body:
Calcium Fluoratum (“Bone Salt”): Acts on bones, teeth enamel, elastic tissues, and epidermis. It addresses overgrowth, hardness, enamel deficiency, low bone density, and joint disorders.
Calcium Phosphoricum (“Bone Nutrition”): Found predominantly in bones and teeth. Essential for bone health, it aids in repair and development, tackling issues like delayed dentition and osteoporosis.
Ferrum Phosphoricum (“Inflammation Salt”): Known as the “first aid tissue salt,” it addresses inflammation and is beneficial for conditions like anaemia and minor injuries.
Kalium Chloratum (“Mucus Membrane Salt”): A key component in connective tissues, it helps in metabolizing glucose and proteins, useful for mucus congestion and respiratory issues.
Kalium Phosphoricum (“Nerve and Muscle Salt”): Vital for brain, nerves, and muscles. It addresses muscle and nerve weakness, mental exhaustion, and conditions like Alzheimer’s.
Kalium Sulphuricum (“Liver and Skin Salt”): Important for skin, bones, and nails. It aids protein utilization and is essential for liver detoxification, beneficial for skin conditions and joint pains.
Magnesium Phosphoricum (“Pain Cell Salt”): Found in muscles, nerves, and teeth, it relieves nerve pains, cramps, and spasms.
Natrium Chloratum (“Water Balance Salt”): Integral to body fluids and tissues, it maintains hydration and is useful for fluid metabolism disorders.
Natrium Phosphoricum (“Acid Neutraliser”): A component of blood, muscles, and nerves, it regulates body pH and is beneficial for conditions like gout and food allergies.
Natrium Sulphuricum (“Elimination Salt”): Essential for extracellular tissue, it supports liver function and is useful in treating asthma and liver disorders.
Silicea (“Lack of Grit Salt”): Found in skin, hair, and nails, it strengthens connective tissues and is beneficial for conditions like hair loss and infections.
Calcium Sulphuricum (“Connective Tissue Salt”): Present in cartilage and amino acids, it aids in re-absorbing boils and abscesses and supports connective tissue formation.
