Biochemic Tissue Salts
In the 19C Dr Wilhelm Heinrich Schussler
identified twelve minerals that he believed to be vital to human health.
Schussler was German doctor of medicine, who was also a biochemist and homeopath.
Biochemic Tissue Salts are these twelve minerals in homeopathically prepared
formulations, which are highly diluted. The salts are taken in the form of small
tablets, dissolved under the tongue. Common symptoms treated with the salts include:
- colds,
- catarrh,
- coughs,
- hay fever,
- headaches,
- indigestion and
- minor skin conditions.
Homeopaths, naturopaths and herbalists will often recommend
tissue salts as part of a nutritional programme, but they are also frequently
used as a self-help measure. Many health shops and some chemists, especially
homeopathic pharmacies, stock the salts, and manufacturers usually provide
dosage information.
