How To Use Tissue Salts For Your Pets

More and more people are turning to biochemic tissue salts as effective natural remedies to support their health and wellbeing. But did you know that tissue salts are beneficial for pets too? Yes, these gentle and effective remedies can support dogs, cats, birds, horses, cows, and even wild animals!

What Are Tissue Salts?

Tissue salts, also known as biochemic or cell salts, are twelve essential mineral salts that occur naturally in the body to maintain good health. This therapy was first developed by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schussler, a German physician, in the 19th century. He believed that most illnesses stem from imbalances of these minerals in the body.

Tissue salts help cells function effectively and regulate vital processes like digestion, nutrition, water balance, detoxification, and healing. According to Dr. Schussler, an imbalance in these 'cell salts' can lead to 'dis-ease.' By taking the appropriate tissue salt, balance is restored, and the body returns to a natural state of health.

Here are the twelve cell salts:

• Calcium Minerals: Calcium Fluoride, Calcium Phos, Calcium Sulphate
• Potassium Minerals: Kali Mur, Kali Phosphate, Kali Sulphur (known as Kali Mur, Kali Phos, and Kali Sulph)
• Sodium Minerals: Natrum Phosphate, Natrum Sulphur, Natrum Mur (known as Nat Phos, Nat Sulph, and Nat Mur)
• Other Minerals: Ferrum Phosphate (Ferrum Phos), Magnesium Phosphate (Mag Phos), and Silicea

These salts are absorbed directly into the cells, restoring balance and harmony in the body. The amazing thing is that their effects can be felt quite quickly, and best of all, there are NO side effects! Tissue salts can be used for treating acute conditions and as preventive measures. Isn't this a good enough reason to use tissue salts for your precious pet as well?

6 Common Pet Health Problems and How Tissue Salts Can Help

1. Skin Problems
   Skin problems are the most common health issues facing pets. Whether it's dry, itchy skin, eczema, hot spots, or dandruff, Calc Sulph can help. It has a healing effect that helps maintain a healthy skin and coat. For best results, combine Calc Sulph with Feelgood Pets Skin & Coat Tonic, a herbal tonic designed for pet skin conditions, and Allergy Itch Ease or Itch Caps to relieve itching.
   
   
2. Respiratory Problems
   If your pet suffers from respiratory infections, colds, or sinus issues, Ferrum Phos is an excellent choice. It works well during the first stages of any infection, providing quick relief from sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. Ferrum Phos strengthens blood vessel walls and helps distribute oxygen and iron throughout the body, promoting healing. For watery eyes and a runny nose, Nat Mur is another helpful tissue salt that promotes water balance. These salts can be paired with herbal remedies like Respo-K and FeliSafe for respiratory health.
   
   
3. Anxiety, Stress, and Nervousness
   Pets can experience anxiety, stress, and nervousness just like humans. If left unaddressed, these feelings can lead to behavioural and physical problems, such as fur and feather pulling. Kali Phos is a perfect tissue salt to soothe and calm anxious pets, especially during stressful situations like vet visits, thunderstorms, or moving homes. It works well alongside Feelgood Pets PetCalm or Calm Drops For Pets, promoting relaxation while restoring balance.
   
   
4. Digestive Issues
   Digestive problems, such as diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, and gas, are common in pets. Nat Phos acts as a wonderful acid neutraliser and improves the absorption of fats and nutrients, promoting overall digestion. Nat Phos can also be combined with Feelgood Pets Digestive Support for chronic digestive problems in dogs and cats.
   
   
5. Diabetes
   Diabetes is becoming increasingly common in pets, especially dogs and cats. Tissue salts can help restore balance to blood sugar and insulin levels and improve pancreatic health. Combining Kali Sulph, Nat Sulph, and Calc Phos can create an effective natural remedy for diabetes management.
   
   
6. Sore Joints
   For pets suffering from stiff, swollen joints, arthritis, or degenerative joint disease, Calc Fluor is a beneficial tissue salt. It helps strengthen and restore elasticity to tissues, improving movement and promoting healthy ligaments, bones, and teeth. Use Calc Fluor alongside Nat Phos to neutralise excess acid in the joints and support joint health. Feelgood Pets MobiLive Pets or Devoted By Nature Easy Joints is also a great natural anti-inflammatory option for pets with painful joint conditions.

What is the Dosage for Tissue Salts in Pets?

Tissue salts can be taken preventatively or curatively. Preventive use is usually referred to as a 'maintenance dose,' typically taken 2–3 times daily. During acute symptoms, increase the frequency of dosage rather than the amount of tablets. For instance, a dog with chronic digestive problems might take the recommended tissue salts two to three times daily but increase to an hourly dose during flare-ups.

Recommended Maintenance Dosage:

• Small Animals and Birds: 1 tablet dissolved in water; administer a third three times daily.
• Cats and Dogs Under 5 kg: ½ tablet three times daily.
• Dogs Between 6 kg and 20 kg: 1 tablet three times daily.
• Dogs Over 20 kg: 2 tablets three times daily.
• Horses: 5 tablets three times daily.
