Tissue Salts

About tissue salts

Tissue salts are named after Wilhelm Schüssler, the 19th-century German doctor who devised them. There are 12, each a single mineral compound such as calcium phosphate (Calc Phos) or magnesium phosphate (Mag Phos). They’re numbered 1 to 12 and known by short names like Nat Mur and Kali Phos. “6X” means the mineral has been diluted to one part in a million.

Single salts and combinations

Single salts contain one of the 12 minerals and carry its number, from No. 1 Calc Fluor to No. 12 Silica. Combinations blend several salts together and are labelled with a letter from A to U, or a number such as Comb 5 or Comb 12. The label on each product lists what it’s used for and which salts it contains.

Tablets, sprays and creams

Most tissue salts come as small tablets, taken several times a day as the label directs. Some are also made as mouth sprays, and a few as creams for the skin. All of the range here is from Martin & Pleasance.
