The Twelve Tissue Salts explained

What are Tissue Salts?

Tissue salts are a collection of 12 homeopathically prepared minerals and minerals salts.  They are the fundamental building blocks of every cell in the Human body.

Why use Tissue Salts?

These wonderful salts form the basis of the structure of the human body and so when illness is present supporting healing at this basic level ensures quick and effective recovery.  They can be used alongside Homeopathic remedies to achieve all round complete healing of the body.

Tissue Salts, also known as Cell Salts are a fabulous healing tool to get familiar with.

As there are only 12 (13 if you count the combination of all 12 together), it is fairly quick and easy to grasp at least a basic understanding of all 12.  They are readily available at Health food shops, chemists and online, they are also quite affordable especially compared to many vitamins and supplements currently on the market.

They are safe to use for the whole family including pets and are a great introduction into the use of Homeopathic medicine for Home Prescribing.  They bring the empowerment of being able to heal ones self and loved ones at home in a deep and non-toxic way.
