WHAT ARE TISSUE SALTS
Perhaps you’ve heard of the healing system called ’tissue salts‘ or ‘cell salts’ developed by a biochemist named Dr. Schuessler, and consisting of twelve decimally diluted mineral salts.
These are, according to his research, essential biochemical substances and the complete set presents the foundational building blocks for all cellular processes in the human and animal body.
HOW DO TISSUE SALTS WORK
By being able to re-balance crucial biochemical processes via those tissue salts, Schuessler believed that all maladies from acutes to chronic might be remedied with the right combination, and he created a whole healing system based upon this.
Tissue salts, are something akin to homeopathic nutritional supplements and are widely used as additional support by homeopaths, but also naturopaths, and some therapists using them as a stand-alone system.
HOW ARE TISSUE SALTS MADE
Those remedies are homeopathically diluted and potentized to a degree where molecules of the original substance have been processed in a way to be more bioavailable to be utilized directly by the cells, and the dynamic potentisation (a process making substances ‘dynamic’ meaning able to effect the energetic bioresonance fields) acts upon the organism in order to help it remember how to utilize those mineral salts where it has previously not absorbed them properly causing the internal cellular equilibrium to fall out of balance
EFFECTIVITY AND SAFETY
Due to their natural origin, high dilution, and optimal bioavailabity, tissue salts are considered completely safe and without side effects when used responsibly and correctly.
Unlike most actual homeopathic remedies, tissue salts are not diluted beyond the Avogadro’s number, meaning molecules of the original substances are still present. Albeit not in the amounts conventionally considered ‘nutritional’, due to their superior bioavailability and dynamic effect, tissue salts are in their action even more potent than regular supplements.
TISSUE SALT USE
A full case history and symptomatic picture needs to be taken to determine which tissue salts or combination thereof ought to be recommended to restore electrolytic balance based on the individual’s specific needs.
Tissue salts are numbered by their strength – 3X, 6X, 9X etc., where ‘X’ stands for the number of decimal dilutions, meaning the higher the number, the more diluted and therefore stronger (unlike in mechanistic medicine where it’s the other way around). These three above named potencies are the most widely used and often sufficient for most purposes.
There is one main tissue salt specifically indicated for Lichens *with atrophy*
CALCAREA FLUORICA
Calcarea Fluorica also known as calcium fluoride is called the elasticity cell salt and used to restore elasticity to body tissues such as skin, bones, muscles, and blood vessels.Visible evidence of a Calc Fluor deficiency can include cracks and excessive dryness in the skin.
Calcarea Fluorica is used for conditions in which the tissues have become unusually relaxed or rigid.
For mental and emotional well-being, Calc Fluor is often recommended to people suffering from fear of the future or who indulge in obsessive planning of the future.
Apart from helping in cases of skin atrophy, calc fluor might assist with:
· strengthen bones, teeth, joints, tendons, and ligaments,
· help with varicose veins and hemorrhoids and relaxed or hardened conditions of veins and arteries,
· relieve cracked skin and stretch marks,
· nourish muscular tissues,
· alleviate back pain, joint pain, and muscle weakness.
