12 TISSUE SALTS
Our bodies are comprised of water, organic material and inorganic matter (minerals). The 12 Tissue Salts, also called Cell Salts or Bioplasm, make up the inorganic matter and are vital to cellular reproduction. The material necessary for cellular rebuilding is supplied from the blood. If the blood is deficient in any of these minerals, then the cells cannot rebuild properly and there is disease.
The 12 Tissue Salts Are:
CALCAREA FLUORICUM - Calcium Fluoride
This salt supplies elasticity to the tissues, walls of blood vessels, muscles, connective tissue, surface of bones and also enamel of teeth. If Calcarea Fluor is deficient, there will be problems such as swelling or hardening of glands, hemorrhoids (piles), enlarged veins, sluggish circulation, tendency to have cracks in the skin (palms and between the toes), loose teeth, rapid decay of teeth, muscular weakness. Symptoms are worse in humid weather and better with heat and massage.
CALCAREA PHOSPHORICUM - Calcium Phosphate
This salt restores tone to weakened organs and tissues which is necessary for blood coagulation, formation of bone and teeth, and aids in the normal growth of children. It is used for teething, rickets, digestion (it is a constituent of saliva), anemia, and for healing fractures. Symptoms are worse motion; cold; change of weather and better with rest; lying down.
CALCAREA SULPHURICUM - Calcium Sulphate
This salt is a blood purifier and promotes formation of new skin. It helps the liver with the removal of waste from the blood stream. It is used for adolescent acne, dry eczema in children, minor skin ailments and also helps fight infections. Symptoms are worse from working in water; washing; walking; and hot room. It is better from open air; eating; uncovering; local heat.
FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM - Iron Phosphate
This salt carries oxygen throughout the body, especially in the blood. It also strengthens the walls of the blood vessels. It is used at the onset in conditions of inflammation and fever and is purported to stop blood flow in cuts by crushing a few of the tablets and applied directly to the wound. Because it carries oxygen to the blood, it is used for anemia and is also good for elderly people. Symptoms are worse by motion; excitement; and warmth. Better by cold and slow motion.
KALI MURIATICUM - Potassium Chloride
This salt is found in blood corpuscles, muscles, nerve and brain cells and inter-cellular fluids. It is essential in the formation of brain cells. This remedy is especially useful for recuperation after an illness in re-establishing health. Excellent for catarrhal conditions, such as congested eustachian tubes. I use it for ear pain when flying and it is a life saver. Symptoms are worse from fatty food, rich food; motion. Better from cold drinks; rubbing.
KALI PHOSPHORICUM - Potassium Phosphate
This salt can be called a natural tranquilizer. It helps in grief, despair, upset nerves, children who develop stomach problems, headaches or “nervous disorders” because of school. It is also quite useful in skin ailments such as shingles. Any condition brought about by “nerves” can be treated with this remedy. Symptoms are worse from excitement; noise; exertion; cold air; being alone, and, pain and itching worse from 2 am to 5 am. Better from rest; eating; heat; gentle motion.
KALI SULPHURICUM - Potassium Sulphate
This salt is also an oxygen carrier and works well with Ferrum Phos. It is used in ailments of the lungs and sinuses. While Ferrum Phos is used in early stages of inflammation, Kali Sulph is used in the later stages. Kali Sulph has a sticky yellow discharge from skin or mucous membranes. This remedy is essential for healthy skin. Symptoms are worse in warm room; evening and better in open air.
MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICUM - Magnesium Phosphate
This salt is the anti-spasmodic remedy. Great for muscular cramps, spasms, darting pains. Use it for sciatica and for neuralgic pains. It works well with Calcarea Phos for cramping pains. Symptoms are worse on the right side; cold; drafts; touch and better from heat; pressure; bending double.
NATRUM MURIATICUM - Sodium Chloride
The prime function of this salt is to maintain the proper degree of moisture within the cells. Natrum Mur also produces hydrochloric acid which is utilized in the digestive processes. Excessive moisture or dryness; craving for salt or salty foods can indicate the need for Natrum Mur. Symptoms are worse in the morning, 10 am; at the seaside; cold weather; noise; warmth and better open air; lying on right side; cold bathing; pressure against the back; tight clothing.
NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM - Sodium Phosphate
This salt regulates the acid in the stomach - it is an acid neutralizer. It also aids in the assimilation of fats. An imbalance of acid can cause dyspepsia, digestive problems and heartburn. It is also used in rheumatic conditions caused by excess uric acid. Symptoms are worse during thunderstorms; menstruation; in the afternoon or evening; and aversion to open air.
NATRUM SULPHURICUM - Sodium Sulphate
This salt eliminates excess water - it removes waste from the cells. It controls the function of the liver and is also useful in digestion. Conditions aggravated by humidity may require Natrum Sulph. This remedy is also vital in head injuries (after Arnica). Symptoms are worse from humidity; dampness; music; lying on left side and better in dry weather; pressure; changing position.
SILICEA (SILICA) - Pure Flint
This salt acts as a cleanser and eliminator. It promotes suppuration (abscesses and boils). Silicea is found in the hair, skin, nails, and surface of bones. It can cause the re-absorbtion of scar tissue. Aids in offensive perspiration. Symptoms are worse at night; morning; open air; cold air; before a storm and better from heat; warm room ; summer.
The descriptions listed above are just a sampling of what each individual salt can do. All 12 salts can be combined and taken daily as you would a vitamin. The recommended potencies are 3X, 6X, 12X and 30X.
Don’t forget your Pets. They can benefit from the individual salts as well as from the combination of all 12.
