Dr Schuessler’s tissue salts, the foundation of homeopathy

You may have heard of tissue salts, they are the original homeopathic remedies based on Dr. Schuessler’s, – a nineteenth century homeopathic physician, – that stated that disease are accompanied by “disturbance” of twelve vital mineral salts, termed ’tissue salts”.

I got introduced to an amazing homeopathic GP in Belgium in 2010, he literally saved my life and mainly my health. So ever since I have been looking to find solutions in homeopathic, herbal and natural remedies. Understanding and taking my health in my own hands. It is mind, body and soul, it’s the holistic approach that can make the big difference.

I’m here – again – to bring awareness to your own health and make you aware of doing your own research, maybe go and see a homeopathic practitioner, to see what  possibilities they can offer or help you with.

An excellent booklet on the tissue salts is one by Margaret Roberts, Tissue Salts. That gives a broad spectrum and insights to help your own health and what resonates with you.

Some salts that have been helping for me over the years are:

Kali. Phos. (6), for calming down nervous system, when exhausted and feeling mentally, or and physically drained, nervous headaches, brain-fog, depression, …

Nat. Mur. (9), when having cold sores or having emotional upsetting times, loss of taste and smell ( combined with Kali Sulph. (7) ), running colds.

Nat. Sulph. (11) arnica for the mind, liver upset, water retention,…

Mag. Phos. (8) sunstroke, leg cramps, emotional rescue, flatulence,…

Ferr. Phos. (4) first signs of colds, respiratory infection, feverish, sore throats, inflammations and congestion.

Kali. Mur. (5) coughs and colds that are lingering, thick discharges, congested conditions, …

Calc. Phos. (2) chilblains, poor circulation, loss of vitality, winter hands and feet, anaemic.

There is so much more to say about the tissue salts and combined different ones for different health issues, please do your own investigation or get a consult with a homeopathic consultant.
