“Blood is to the human body what soil is to the plant. It is common knowledge that poor, exhausted soil will produce only weak, sickly plants. In the same way, poor blood, lacking in essential constituents, will produce weak, sickly bodies, prone to disease. By enriching the soil, the ill-conditioned plant can be made to recover and flourish. The recovery of the ailing human body can best be achieved by a similar process – by restoring to the blood the constituents in which it is lacking. This is Biochemistry – The Chemistry of Living Tissues.”

The Miracle of Tissue Salts for Healing

The Miracle of Tissue Salts for Healing
When I first heard about Tissue Salts, I was fascinated by them. These Tissue Salts (sometimes referred to as Cell Salts) is what makes up the physical human body and when these natural salts or minerals are deficient, the body can become sick.
The original The Biochemic Handbook: How to Get Well and Keep Fit with Biochemic Tissue Salts, grabbed my interest years ago, but was a bit challenging to slog through.
Recently, a fellow homeopath from England, published a much simpler guide, complete with cute pictures, on the topic, Schuessler’s Tissue Salts Rediscovered: The 21st Century Guide to Self-Healing by Lisa Strbac.
The first paragraph in her introduction transformed this information into something I could immediately apply on a practical level – remineralize teeth and erase dental cavities(!).
You’ve chosen a terrific way of integrating “My first experience of tissue salts was a little bit magical. Having recently learnt about them at homeopathy college, my husband had returned from a dentist appointment saying he had a cavity and was to go back for a filling in a few weeks. It was serendipitous timing that I’d heard that the tissue salts Calc Fluor and Calc Phos could help remineralise teeth, so I told him to take them for a month or two and delay his follow up. When he did go back to have his filling, the dentist declared they could no longer find the cavity. This is the power of these little tissue salts.”
Dr. Schuessler, the founder of tissue salts, claimed that they “are not based on homeopathic law but upon physiological chemical process that take place within the organism.”
I once heard it explained this way: If you were to cremate a body and analyze the ashes, you would find that the body is made up of these 12 tissue salts. These are essential to the composition of the body and if the body is deficient in any one of them, it can show signs of disease. All disease is due to a lack of one or more of these tissue salts. So if we give the body what it needs, it will heal itself!
Dr. Chas W. Littlefield writes, “The twelve mineral salts are, in a very real sense, the material basis of the organs and tissues of the body and are absolutely essential to their integrity of structure and functional activity. Experiences prove that the various tissue cells will rapidly disintegrate in the absence of the proper proportion of these salts in the circulating fluid. Whereas the maintenance of this proportion insures healthy growth and perpetual renewal. These mineral salts are, therefore, the physical basis of all healing. Regardless of the school employed, if these are absent from the blood and tissues, no permanent cure is possible.”
Cells salts are different from mineral supplements. Minerals are given in larger doses and are not as quickly absorbed by the body, whereas Schuessler believed that the micro-doses of tissue salts were more readily absorbed into the bloodstream and the body’s tissue.
So let’s look at three tissue salts…
Calc Phos is #1 for bone health. It is concentrated in bones, teeth, connective tissues, blood cells and digestive juices. We would use it for bones (general bone health as well as broken bones & fractures, arthritis and sciatica), to build cells
(healthy teeth formation), support growth (stimulates cell production, especially during periods of rapid growth such as in childhood and during puberty) and as a restorative tonic (increases vitality in the elderly, for use after acute illnesses, as a nutrient for blood, restores weak organs and tissues). It can be used for heartburn and indigestion.
Ferrum Phos is #1 as an anti-inflammatory. It is concentrated in the hemoglobin of the blood, in blood vessels and is found in all body cells. We would use it in the first stage of illness (like at the first stage of colds – sore throat which is red and inflamed – bronchitis, pneumonia or flu), as an anti inflammatory agent (for arthritis, rheumatism, sciatica and sprains) and an oxygen transporter (blood disorders, iron deficiency and hemorrhages).
Mag Phos is #1 for cramps. It is concentrated in muscles, nerves, bone, teeth and blood. We would use it for muscle cramps or stiffness, pains (like colic, menstrual pains that are helped by heat or pressure, shooting or radiating pains, tension pains or headaches) and as an anti-spasmodic (like stammering, twitches, tics, squinting, angina pains, hiccups, writer’s cramps, dancer’s cramp).
Having a reference book to guide you in the selection of a cell salt, can be very helpful. I also scan using my Asyra equipment if the body is deficient and in need of any of these 12 cell salts. It is amazingly accurate.
Cell salts are homeopathically prepared in a 6X dilution, so they still contain a minute material dose of the original minerals. Dosing is 3-5 tablets 3x/day for 1-2 months. They dissolve in the mouth, similar to homeopathic pellets. They are safe for pregnancy, while breastfeeding and for infants. They are safe for all ages, non-toxic, have no side effects. You can take multiple salts in combination and at the same time.
These salts are easy to purchase at most healthfood stores and online through my Fullscript dispensary. Lisa Strbac’s book and the original The Biochemic Handbook can be purchased on Amazon.com.
