Tissue Salts
What are Tissue Salts
Homeopathy was developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann. It is a system of medicine that uses homeopathic remedies, which are made by diluting a substance to a point where only trace amounts of the original substance remain. These highly diluted remedies are intended to stimulate the body's natural healing processes and treat a whole host of symptoms, both physical and psychological in nature.
Tissue Salt Therapy, on the other hand, was developed in the late 19th century. The remedies are made from mineral compounds known to help restore cellular balance in the body and treat a range of common ailments. Tissue salts are prepared via dilution and potentization, similar to homeopathy. However, the dilutions are much lower, so the preparations (tissue salts) still retain measurable amounts of the original substance, in sharp contrast to homeopathic formulations.
Moreover, while homeopathy and tissue salts involve highly diluted substances, homeopathy uses a broader range of materials, including substances not naturally found in the body, including plants, minerals, and animals. Tissue salts, on the other hand, are made all from mineral compounds that are naturally present in the body.
Learn How to Use These Salts
Here are some general guidelines on how to use tissue salts:
-
Identify the specific tissue salt(s) that you need. If you are new to tissue salt therapy, consult a homeopath or other well-versed natural health care practitioner to help you determine which tissue salt(s) are best for your particular health status and needs.
-
Always follow the recommended dosage and frequency of dosing, as this will determine the efficacy of the therapy. Generally speaking, this involves dissolving 1-2 tablets under the tongue 3-4 times a day or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
-
Tissue Salts should always be taken away from food and drinks, especially from strong-tasting substances like coffee, toothpaste, and mouthwash, because these substances can interfere with the absorption of the minerals in the tissue salts.
-
Monitor your progress. Keep track of any symptom evolution or symptomatic improvements, and adjust your dosage as needed. Tissue salts may take some time to yield results, so it's essential to be consistent with your dosing.
Tissue salts should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight, as well as strong odours and electromagnetic fields like those produced by devices like cell phones, tablets, and computers.
Tissue salts are considered safe to be taken during and after pregnancy and during breastfeeding. When administering to a child, the general rule is to halve the dose for those under 100 lbs. Tissue salts are also highly effective for use in pets. They can easily be crushed and added to their food.
