Tissue Salts are a great way to remineralise your body. Your body is always giving you signals where something is functioning at its optimal level.
Quick Reference Guide - The 12 Most Essential Minerals of The Body
ā Calcium fluoride (Calc fluor) ā The Elasticity Salt.
Acts as a toning agent in the body. Gives elasticity to tissues, tightens what has stretched (ie. sprains, prolapse) but also hardens outer shells (like bones and teeth). Also has the ability to soften what has hardened (calluses, calcifications).
āCalcium phosphate (Calc phos) ā The Bone Salt.
Supports growth, teeth, bone health and strength (bone is 57% this mineral). Raises overall vitality and speeds healing. All cells require this mineral, so vital for new cell production (especially, but not only red and white blood cells). A remedy for anaemia when iron fails to help.
āIron phosphate (Ferr phos) ā First-Aid Salt.
Allows red blood cells to carry oxygen. Vital for the immune response, fighting infections and to reduce inflammation. Aids healing of cuts and grazes. Anywhere we have heat and redness in the body.
āPotassium chloride (Kali mur) ā The Gland Salt.
Supports lymphatic drainage (swollen lymph nodes are a sure sign of deficiency), congestion relief, and immune function. Pair with Iron at the first signs of colds and flus. Required whenever we see a white coated tongue.
āPotassium phosphate (Kali phos) ā The Mind Salt.
A nervous system tonic for stress, fatigue, emotional upset and focus. Vital for forming the grey matter of the brain. Depleted by stress, required when learning. Very important mineral for students.
āPotassium sulphate (Kali sulph) ā The Skin Salt.
Our first point of call for skin rashes. Aids in getting oxygen into the cells, vital for detoxification, skin healing, and respiratory health.
āMagnesium phosphate (Mag phos) ā The Salt for Pain and Cramps.
Supports muscle relaxation, reduces cramps (calf, menstrual etc), aids digestion, promotes healthy nerve function and prevents nerve pain (stabbing shooting pains). Activates over 300 enzymes in the body so increases cellular metabolism.
āSodium chloride (Nat mur) ā The Fluid Balance Salt.
Enables osmosis via the cell, so promotes hydration, increases cellular uptake of other minerals and nutrients. Aids digestion ( a vital component of stomach acid) and activates the senses of taste and smell. Helpful for dry skin, dripping nose or other signs of fluid imbalance.
āSodium phosphate (Nat phos) ā The Acid Balance Salt.
So many diseases have their roots in an acid environment. Acids are broken down via this mineral. Helpful for indigestion, reflux, helping the fat metabolism and combating cravings for sugar.
āSodium sulphate (Nat sulph) ā The Cleansing Salt.
Eliminates fluid from the cell, promoting deep cleansing. Supports liver, gall and intestinal function. Very important mineral for detoxification (works even better when paired with #6 Kali sulph).
ā Silicea (Silica) ā The Surgeon Salt.
Strengthens skin, hair, nails, bones and promotes healing of infections. Silica retains its āsharpnessā even at a molecular scale, allowing the body to use it to cut passage for debris or pus to escape the body. Dab silica on tough pimples, boils or infected splinters and see a head form and easy discharge come about swiftly and with minimal pains.
āCalcium sulphate (Calc sulph) ā Salt of Deep Cleansing.
Aids in skin healing, wound repair, and detoxification. This salt works in opposition to silicas function - in that it works to dissolve infectious complaints that have gone on too long. Contained in the liver and gallbladder, this salt has a detoxifying effect on connective tissue and the blood.
These are the biochemic minerals / cell-salts or tissue salts as described by Dr Schuessler.
(The advanced minerals number 13-26 and are trace elements found in the body in much smaller amounts š
Remedies #27 and beyond are often viewed more as homeopathic extensions rather than strictly biochemic "tissue builders," as they often include substances that are not structural components of human cells.)
