Tissue Salts~The 12 Minerals That Remember What You’re Made Of

Updated: Oct 26, 2025


Some remedies work like whispers.


Gentle.

Foundational.

Familiar.


Like a language your body already knows.



That’s the beauty of tissue salts.


Also known as cell salts or biochemic remedies, these twelve micro-doses of naturally occurring minerals were first introduced by Dr. Wilhelm Schüßler in the 19th century. He believed that disease arises when the body is lacking one or more of these essential mineral building blocks — and that restoring this balance at a cellular level could gently nudge the body back toward health.


Today, tissue salts are used around the world to support everything from digestion and sleep to skin health, emotional balance, and energy.



What Are Tissue Salts, Exactly?


Tissue salts are homeopathically prepared forms of twelve essential minerals. naturally found in healthy human cells.


They aren’t megadoses of minerals — instead, they work vibrationally and energetically, helping the body recongnize, absorb, and better utilize the minerals it already has (or receives through diet and supplementation).


Their action is subtle but powerful — like a reminder to your cells of what balance feels like.



Why Use Tissue Salts?

They’re:


  • 💠 Gentle and non-toxic

  • 💠 Safe for all ages (including babies and pets)

  • 💠 Easy to use on their own or alongside constitutional homeopathy

  • 💠 Supportive of both physical and emotional patterns


Tissue salts don’t override your body’s signals — they support its efforts to heal and restore harmony.

How I Use Them in Practice


In my work as a homeopath, I often reach for cell salts when a client needs gentle foundational support.


They’re especially helpful:

  • During recovery or convalescence

  • When someone is energetically sensitive

  • For children or those not ready for deeper remedies

  • Alongside chronic care to strengthen the system


I often recommend them as daily support — usually 2–4 tablets, 2–3 times a day, dissolved in the mouth or in water.
