Tissue Salts

by M. Tehart

Soil acidity, loss of minerals, devitalised diets, artificial unbalanced fertilisers, environmental pollution, processed, malabsorption, stress, processed and devitalised foods. No wonder with all this added stress placed on ones body that more sickness, disease are on the rise. Tissue Salts work at a basic cellular level and provide the means whereby the actual cells are able to use organic substances (food) and water to operate normal functions within the body as well as repair it.

Homeopathic cell salt therapy grew from the research of a Dr. W. H. Schussler, M.D., who in the 1870's confirmed that minerals are an integral part of the body. He went on to isolate twelve mineral compounds that he called "cell salts" or "tissue salts" and discovered that when the correct minerals were supplied the abnormal or diseased symptoms decreased or disappeared.

Cell salts - Tissue salts, work at a basic cellular level and provide the means whereby the actual cells are able to use organic substances (food) and water to operate normal functions within the body as well as repair it, cell salts are more popular than ever as they offer a safe and inexpensive method of self-treatment for a wide range of physical, mental and emotional problems.

The key to successful cell salt use lies in accurately linking symptoms with the appropriate cell salt. As with any homeopathic treatment, the idea is to administer the remedy until you see improvement, let the body continue to do what it can and then only repeat as needed. If you are concerned that a symptom might not be part of healing, discontinue use until the remedy is needed again.

The tissue salts are made from the natural mineral compounds that combine with water and organic matter to compose the cells and tissues of the body. Dr Schuessler said: "The twelve inorganic (mineral) salts are all essential to the proper growth and development of every part of the system. Because of the homeopathic preparation, they are perfectly safe at any dosage, yet can often restore a deficiency faster and often more effectively than a supplement"

Tissue salts are among the gentlest, most supportive, remedies in homeopathy and can aid in preventing and alleviating illness, while they are known to be *safe, we do strongly suggest you work with a Holistic Vet or Homeopathic professional to guide you in what is best for your equine friend.
