Tissue salts, though homeopathic in nature, are based on the biochemical structure of the blood and its ability to supply, create and balance all tissues in the body – having the right components in the correct concentration. When deficiencies in the blood and cells arise, the structure and functionality of the body suffer. Thus, when I choose to use tissue salts as a solution, it is based on chemistry and function verses homeopathic principles.
The blood is made up of organic and inorganic substances. 91.5% of blood plasma is water. 7% is proteins. And 1.5% is salts, nutrients, hormones, enzymes and waste products. Salts contained in the blood are calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, silicea, iron, sulphur, phosphorus, chloride, and bicarbonate. Our blood contains all the body needs to nourish and create; it supplies all the needs of each individual organ to function.
Tissue Salts work by re-establishing cell balance. They supplement the cells by helping them absorb, through the blood, all they need to function. For example, a hard-working farmer with painful calf cramps after a day’s work finds no relief taking magnesium vitamins. Yet, with the introduction of Mag Phos tissue salts, he is no longer suffering. Why? Because the salts are balancing out the cell’s deficiency, allowing his body to absorb the magnesium he needs in his calves for them to function as they should. Often, I see anaemic patients, still experiencing the effects of low iron in their blood after months of taking iron supplements. After the addition of Ferrum Phos tissue salts, their iron levels balance out, their energy improves, and they are healthier overall. The tissue salt balanced out the iron (ferrum) needs in the cell, allowing the body to use the ingested iron effectively.
