Meet your new wellness besties: Natura Tissue Salts

Feeling tired, stressed or just plain blah? If you're dragging through your days with the zest of a wilting houseplant, it might be time to give your cells some much-needed TLC with Natura Tissue Salts. 

What are tissue salts?

Tissue salts, also known as cell salts or biochemical salts, were developed in the 19th century by Dr Wilhelm Schüssler, a physician, biochemist and homeopath. He discovered that minute doses of 12 essential inorganic nutrients could correct imbalances and promote healthy cellular function. 

Why your body may need tissue salts

Ladies, we're masters of multitasking — balancing work, family, friendships and self-care like pros. But in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often overlook the tiny powerhouses that keep us going: our cells. 

These microscopic marvels are the essence of who we are, yet they rarely get the attention they deserve.

Modern-day stresses such as worry, poor diet and hectic lifestyles deplete our bodies of essential minerals, which can lead to various health issues. 

While adopting a nutritious lifestyle is beneficial, tissue salts can further assist by replenishing these lost minerals. They enhance the body's ability to absorb nutrients from our diet, promoting better overall health and wellbeing.

They can be used to support the conventional treatment of other conditions as well. For example, Natura's Nat Phos tissue salt #10 can be used at the same time as other prescribed treatments for heartburn or gout.

Homeopaths and other professionals use tissue salts as an assistant to prescription homeopathic remedies, or to help get rid of common symptoms. 

If you're considering Natura Tissue Salts for their incredible health benefits, it's important to know they are made with a lactose base. These tiny tablets can work wonders for your wellness by replenishing essential minerals but if you have a sensitivity to lactose, it's best to avoid them to prevent any discomfort.

Always prioritise what's best for your body and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about using tissue salts.
