Tissue Salts, also called cell salts or biochemic salts, are composed of minerals which occur naturally in our bodies and all organic matter on earth, such as plants, rocks and soil.
Dr Scheussler, a prominent 19th Century German doctor, conducted research which demonstrated that, when reduced to ashes, each human cell contains 12 minerals or biochemic tissue salts and that these minerals should be present in all living cells in perfect balance to ensure good health.
Imbalance, or a deficiency of any of the tissue salts, causes disease and the body begins to develop symptoms associated with the tissue salts that are lacking.
Restoring the correct balance of tissue salts in the body will therefore remove the symptoms and restore health and vitality.
This system of medicine is called Biochemistry and is still practiced today by homeopaths and naturopaths all over the world
A little of both in a way! Tissue salts can be described as ‘Nutroceuticals’ - nutritional substances which are used to maintain optimal health and functioning and also to restore balance and relieve symptoms of disease.
Tissue Salts can therefore be taken regularly to prevent illness and improve functioning (just like vitamins), but can also be used to treat symptoms when this is necessary (as one would do with medicines).
The only difference is that they are taken more frequently to treat symptoms and less frequently as a preventative and a health aid.
As an example, certain tissue salts can be taken three times a day to promote digestive health. However, if symptoms like indigestion, gas, nausea or bloating occur, the frequency can be increased too.
If tissue salts are also nutritional, can I get them from a healthy diet?
Yes, in theory you can - and that is how it is supposed to be! Since the 12 different tissue salts are present in all organic matter, our bodies obtain tissue salts from the food that we eat and the water that we drink.
A healthy diet should be able to provide all the tissue salts that our bodies need. Unfortunately, due to modern farming methods, the food that is available to us is often deficient in the minerals and vitamins that are essential for health - even if we follow a healthy diet.
Added to this is the fact that many people rely on fast food or pre-packed processed meals due to time constraints and a stressful lifestyle.
Over time, this can lead to symptoms of poor health or even disease. This means that the majority of people in Western countries are deficient in essential vitamins and other nutritional substances, and need to take supplements on a daily basis.
Are tissue salts safe?
Even some vitamins taken in excess can do harm! Not so with Tissue Salts.
Due to a unique and specialized manufacturing process, our tissue salts are present in a highly absorbable form and only minute amounts are therefore present in each tablet.
This means that tissue salts are extremely safe and free of side effects.
It is impossible to overdose with tissue salts and they may be safely be taken by people of all ages, as well as infants and women who are pregnant or nursing.
"Thanks to your Sleep Tonic, my nights of lying awake are over! I have a heart condition and cannot take anything else - so you can imagine how glad I was to find something that works so well and which also does not interact with my heart medication!" Sheila
"I took your Triple Complex Sleep Tonic while I was pregnant and have continued ever since because it really helps me to sleep well. I have also used it in a little bit of warm water for my baby and for my three year old son, who have both inherited the family insomnia and find that they sleep soundly. It is truly wonderful to find a product which does so much good without the risks attached to the drugs that are usually prescribed!" Lindi B
Sleep Tonic combines the following three biochemic tissue salts, especially selected for brain and sleep health:
Calcium sulphate D6 (Calc. sulph)
is a tissue salt constituent of the blood and skin and the mineral constituent of the liver - an organ that is responsible for the removal of waste products from the blood stream and tissues of the body to cleanse and purify.
Magnesium phosphate D6 (Mag. phos)
is a tissue salt which naturally occurs on a cellular level in the body. It is a nerve and muscle fibre nutrient - making it a major constituent of muscles, nerves, brain and blood corpuscles. It combines with albumin and water to form a fluid that nourishes and nurtures the white nerve fibers of the nervous system. It is suitable for all age groups including small babies. Magnesium is an important mineral that is involved in over 300 enzyme reactions within the body - one of which is to help manufacture one of the many hormones responsible for regulating sleep, L-tryptophan. (Hartmann E (1982) Effects of L-tryptophan on sleepiness and on sleep. Journal of Psychiatric Research. 17:107-13).
Calcium phosphate D6 (Calc. phos)
is a tissue salt naturally present in bone, teeth, connective tissue and digestive juices. It is a major mineral component of every structure, tissue and fluid in the body except connective tissue and is a vital component of the body’s nutrition process from digestion, assimilation, cell growth through to energy expenditure.
Tissue salts are easy to take! For everyday use, simply place the tiny tablets under your tongue and allow to dissolve. They are pleasant tasting and even children love to take them! For babies and smaller children, the tablets can be crushed and sprinkled on the tongue or mixed in a little warm water. Dosage:
As a preventative or part of a maintenance program
dissolve 2 - 4 tablets under the tongue in a clean mouth three times a day.
For symptomatic treatment
dissolve 2 - 4 tablets under the tongue up to six times daily.
Babies and toddlers
Dissolve 1 - 2 tablets in a little warm milk or water. May be added to the night time bottle.
How long till I see results?
People can differ widely in their response times to Tissue Salts depending on individual makeup, severity of symptoms, lifestyle, diet, etc.
Some may experience symptomatic relief within days, while others can take up to 6 weeks before an effect is felt.
Often, as in the case of all good tonics, a gradual improvement is felt over time.
