TISSUE salts were formulated way back in the 1870s by Dr W.H. Schuessler. Now, more than 120 years later, a Cape Town based natural health practitioner has taken them to a new level.

Radiographer Alison Effting became enamoured with Biochemic Tissue Salts when, in 1993, they were a healing catalyst for a personal health crisis that had not responded to conventional treatment. “It seemed too simple that supplementation with these fundamental mineral energies could make such a difference to my health,” Effting reflects. "Given that I was allopathically trained, this came as a huge revelation to me.”

ASHES TO ASHES, dust to dust… we are all familiar with the words describing our composition, and they are literally true. The ashes are the 12 mineral salts that are essential to health and life itself – the tissue salts. Our bodies also contain other substances – minerals, proteins and fluids, but these depend upon the presence of sufficient tissue salts to function, and if any of the 12 tissue salts becomes severely depleted, our physical bodies lose the ability to sustain life.
