What tissue salts are | the 12 essential tissue salts | health benefits

In today's day and age, our soils are depleted of minerals, our medicines are filled with synthetic chemicals, our foods are loaded with artificial ingredients, and the overuse of antibiotics has led to rouge superbugs. Yet, we wonder why our children are so prone to immune diseases, forever catching the flu and can't concentrate in school! It makes sense that depression, fatigue, infertility and other conditions affect so many people across the globe!

The modern lifestyle results in a depletion of our body's nutrients, resulting in deficiencies, illness and weakened immune systems. But did you know that there's an answer to your body's insufficient nutrient intake? Tissue salts help balance the body and manage a variety of ailments. Got a hangover? Tissue salts can help! Got acne? Tissue salts can help! Got joint pain? Tissue salts can help! Got allergies? You guessed it - tissue salts can help!

So, what are tissue salts exactly? Carry on reading to find out the simple explanation of what tissue salts are and their diverse uses. We’ll also give you a quick summary of each tissue salt (1 – 12) so that you can learn how to use them according to symptoms.

What are tissue salts

Tissue salts, also known as 'cell salts' or 'biochemistry salts' are potent micro-doses of the body’s 12 essential minerals. These 'cell salts' occur naturally in the human body but due to factors such as poor nutrition or unhealthy lifestyle, may be depleted. 

According to Dr Schuessler, who first began using and researching tissue salts, the 12 essential tissue salts should be present in all living cells in perfect balance to ensure good health! When there is an imbalance in your body, there will be signs of ‘dis-ease’ and the body will develop symptoms of that imbalance. These symptoms can be addressed by taking the appropriate tissue salt as discussed below. 

Tissue salts are completely natural, safe and effective, and can be taken by adults, children, babies and even pets!

Please note that tissue salts are NOT the same as nutritional supplements, like
Magnesium, Iron, Calcium, etc. However, tissue salts can be taken along with these supplements – as they will greatly assist in the body’s ability to process and absorb the supplements, as well as nutrients in your food.
