backache, lumbagos, weak ankles, loose or decaying teeth, muscular weakness and enlarged glands all respond to its support. As with Calc phos, it can make a big difference in slow growing, late walking babies and young children. Some books document its ability to minimize cataracts, calcareous deposits and hard swellings. Certain bony growths like bone spurs, soften and dissolve under its influence as well.

It is especially suited to teething children and women in labor, and anyone who has been in a highly emotional state (especially angry) for a long period of time and who has become over-sensitive, mentally or physically, as a result. Hahnemann said of this remedy, ‘It ought not to be given to those who bear pain with patience and resignation,’ as its keynote is unbearable pain."

Kali phos (potassium phosphate)

This universal ‘debuzzer’ for babies, kids and adults, is made from a mineral compound critical to nerve and brain cells (though also in muscles, blood and intercellular fluids). Its many applications for both pain and emotional symptoms has made it one of our best selling single remedies. When loss of nerve power or agitation result from injury, illness, stress or sadness, Kali phos helps nerves recover, relax and regain strength.

Kali phos’ pain relief begins with nervous headaches caused by study, stress, grief or nerve injury. Backache, sciatic pain and other neuralgic pains respond well to Kali phos, especially if they result in weakness and cold heavy-feeling limbs. Stress or pain related nausea with empty feeling and bitter belching settle down quickly with Kali phos. It can even quiet buzzing or ringing in the ears.
On the emotional plane Kali phos has restorative, calming powers over temper tantrums, pangs of grief and anxiety, hypersensitive nerves, and night terrors. Whenever work, worry, study, stress or illness leave you weary but restless, sad, nervous, gloomy, dreading what might be next, and unable to get up and do something about it Kali phos is a worry free option.

It may be the person’s nature or it may be a temporary state, but the patient who benefits most from Kali phos may be shy, nervous, hypersensitive, weak, easily wearied and sometimes quite pessimistic.
Other symptoms include nightmares, sleeplessness and cravings for sweets and ice water.
We often assume mental symptoms are not due to chemical nutritional/cellular imbalance and thus are not part of the health picture and should not be dosed. Next time you are down, let Kali phos show you just how chemical sadness and anxiety can be.

bodies need in muscle, nerve, brain, spinal marrow and tooth tissue, this remedy can work wonders to those in pain. You know the relief you feel when you relax a tight fist? That is the relaxation this remedy brings to tense muscles, cramps and neuralgic pain.  Muscle spasms and nerve symptoms as diverse as leg cramps, spasmodic coughs, abdominal pain/colic, flatulent colic, hiccups, toothache, teething pain, stabbing headaches and sciatica yield to this cell salt’s soothing touch. Mag phos aids many spasmodic conditions in which nerves and muscles cannot cooperate: charley horses and other leg cramps, back spasms, menstrual cramps before and during cycle, musician’s and writer’s cramp, hiccups, colic, and in certain cases, bedwetting.

Except for burning pain, most forms of neuralgia need Mag phos as well, particularly radiating, stabbing or shooting, pains including: backache, right sided sciatica, facial neuralgia, tics, twitches, toothache, neuralgic right sided ear pain, neuritis and injured or weary nerves.

Now for the big IF: an important key to Mag phos’ relief is better for heat and worse for cold. This is so strong that many recommend a sip or two of hot water immediately after taking the remedy to speed its action. If a hot bath, hot tea, and a warm bed sound like paradise, you might get there with Mag phos.

Acne - Tissue D Calc sulph, Kali mur, Kali sulph, Silica

This remedy’s skin uses extend well beyond acne. All of these cell salts are crucial to cleansing and skin cell vitality. From the critical cleansing compound calcium sulphate, Calc sulph helps boost the body’s ability to clear out skin pimples, sores, boils, and slow healing eruptions with yellow discharge. From another cleansing agent, potassium chloride, Kali mur helps clean out thick white discharge before it matures whether it turns up in pimples, thrush, cold sores, colds, coughs or irritating little white spots on your tonsils. From the third level cleansing agent potassium sulphate, Kali sulph assists eruptions with watery yellow discharge or peeling dry skin.  The silicon dioxide 'grit'

remedy, Silica, adds strength when skin has a tendency to suppurate easily and helps skin purge itself of splinters, acne boils, abscesses, eruptions and other irritants. A bit of advice: this remedy cleans out and prevents problems like acne, it does not suppress them. So you might not want to start taking it a day or two before the prom– allow a few weeks to let the magic work.

Debility - Tissue B

Calcarea phos, Ferrum phos, Kali phos

This combination trio can be the perfect solution for teen and pre- teen stresses with its Calc phos for growth, Ferrum phos for iron and strength, Kali phos to calm it all down.

This balancing tissue salt combination lets Kali phos take care of the nerves, while Calc phos aids recovery, weakness and nutrition, and Ferrum phos minimizes inflammation, acute fevers and turn around time. Calc phos and Ferrum phos make a great pair when the blood has been taxed (especially with simple anemia), because calcium phosphate (Calc phos) is necessary for building strong cells and iron phosphate (Ferrum phos) is required for carrying the oxygen to where it is needed. So, if your nerves are exhausted by work, growth, stress or illness, this remedy can give you and your cells a lift.

Tonic Tissue A

Calc phos, Ferrum phos, Kali phos, Mag phos, Nat phos

This phosphate quintet is a very well rounded, supportive remedy for young and old, but especially when overall vitality is running low.

Calc phos is the restorative, convalescence remedy as it helps the body maintain healthy cellular activity. Ferrum phos strengthens the blood to help it minimize inflammation. The ‘nerve nutrient,’ Kali phos, helps when mental or physical energy is out of whack. Mag phos helps communication between nerves and muscles and prevents spasms and cramps. Nat phos helps with both digestive and tissue/joint aggravations by keeping acids at bay. So, whenever life is a bit of a drain, this tonal remedy can help you relax and enjoy the music.

Testimonial -

My son is in High School and I was concerned about exam stress, peer pressure and all the other demands a teenager copes with. Before exams or presentations he always had a sore stomach accompanied by diarrhea, he often had trouble sleeping, feeling restless and nervous. All this while growing leaps and bounds.

I know that dealing with stress is a normal part of growing up, but I looked for something simple and natural to provide support. The cell salts are already in our bodies, so I'm not even adding anything new, just encouraging the bodies tissues to keep up to speed.

Since I've introduced The "Nervous Tension-TISP" in his life, it's been a lot easier for him to do his best. He doesn't get colds or diarrhea anymore when he's got a big test coming up and he's sleeping much better. I've got another son moving into High School and it's great to know we've got some back up support.
