Using Biochemic Tissue Salts With Children

Biochemic Tissue Salts And Children by Jane Thurnell-Read

When my children were little and not well, they often said: “I want some magic tablets.”  The ‘magic tablets’ got their nickname because of how quickly they dissolved on the tongue, and how soon they made my children feel better.

Their proper name is biochemic tissue salts. They were developed by a homeopath Dr W.H. Schuessler and are based on 12 mineral salts:

1. Calcium Fluoride (Calc. Fluor.)
2. Calcium Phosphate (Calc. Phos.)
3. Calcium Sulphate (Calc. Sulp.)
4. Iron Phosphate (Ferr. Phos.)
5. Potassium Chloride (Kali. Mur.)
6. Potassium Phosphate (Kali. Phos.)
7. Potassium Sulphate (Kali. Sulp.)
8. Magnesium Phosphate (Mag. Phos.)
9. Sodium Chloride (Nat. Mur.)
10. Sodium Phosphate (Nat. Phos.)
11. Sodium Sulphate (Nat. Sulph.)
12. Silicon Dioxide (Silica)

We used Iron Phosphate to bring down a temperature safely and quickly, and Calcium Phosphate to help them recover from illness and be more robust.  

There are also 18 combination remedies:

Combination A - for Sciatica Neuralgia Neuritis
Combination B - for Nervous Exhaustion & General Debility
Combination C - for Acidity Heartburn Dyspepsia
Combination D - for Minor Skin Ailments
Combination E - for Indigestion, Colicky Pain & Flatulence
Combination F - for Migraine Nervous Headache
Combination G - for Backache and Lumbago
Combination H - for Hayfever & Allergic Rhinitis
Combination I - for Fibrositis Muscular Pains
Combination J - for Coughs, Colds & Chestiness
Combination K - for Brittle Nails & Falling Hair
Combination L - for Varicose Veins & Circulatory Disorders
Combination M - for Rheumatism
Combination N - for Menstrual Pain
Combination P - for Aching Feet and Legs
Combination Q - for Catarrh & Sinus Disorders
Combination R - for Teething Pains
Combination S - for Sick Headache Stomach Upsets Biliousness

Of course, not all of these remedies are needed for small children, but we certainly used a lot of Combination R to very good effect.

These simple remedies can really help children and adults. Of course, sometimes we need the help of the medical profession – my eldest son would not be a live without the speedy intervention of surgeons on the day he was born – but for the day-to-day health of my children I was confident that the best approach was to use biochemic tissue salts and Bach flower remedies - gentle remedies that support and heal the body. (These remedies can be found online or from many good health stores.)
