The Twelve Tissue Salts (Cell Salts) by: Caroline Walrad Ph.D.

, CN CALCAREA FLUORICA (Calcium Fluoride, Fluoride of Lime) Calc Fluor is found in the surface layer of the bones and teeth, in elastic fibe rs, tendons, perisoteum (bone covering), throat, larynx, binding of tissues, ela sticity of tissues. Deficiency: Blood vessel enlargement which results in hemorrhoidal tumors, varic ose and enlarged veins, or weakening of the abdominal walls. Abscesses with hard callous edges or hard, knotty exudations on bone surfaces. Brittle, splitting, soft nails, cracking skin, low body temperature, sweaty feet. Bone problems, cat aracts, tooth enamel problems, hardening glands, gas, weak connective tissue, sc ar tissue, splinters. CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA (Calcium Phosphate, Phosphate of Lime) Calc Phos is the most abundant in the body and is most essential to optimal grow th and nutrition. It strengthens bones and helps build new blood cells. It resto res chi energy after acute diseases. Deficiency: bone disease, poor dentition, muscles sensitive to cold. White marks on fingernails and teeth. Tips of teeth are translucent. CALCAREA SULPHURICA (Calcium Sulphate, Gypsum) Calc Sulph is found in the bile where it destroys worn-out red blood cells. Bone s, connective tissues, mucus membranes. Deficiency: Tardy destruction producing catarrh and eruptions. Boils, yellow pus , contact dermatitis, burning, itching, inflammation. Tonsillitis, tumors, blood stained discharges. FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM (Iron Phosphate) Ferrum Phos in found in red blood cells. It is the first stage remedy for all in flammations, wounds due to injuries, and hemorrhages caused by hyperanemia. Supports lungs, ears (Eustachian tubes), nerves and circulation Deficiency: fatigue, anemia, relaxation of muscle fibers. Dark circles under or in corner of eyes. Low to moderate fevers, weak immune system, red face, noseble eds, sore throats. Worse 4-6 AM. Better cold and solitude. KALI MURIATICUM (Potassium Chloride) Kali Mur is found in the blood, the muscles, nerve and brain cells and intercell ular fluid. Affects fibrin, bronchials, mucus membranes, Eustachian tubes, muscl es, joints and shoulders. Deficiency: Anxiety, fear, depression, neuralgia, nervous exhaustion or prostrat ion. Odors from body. Milky appearance to the skin of either blue or red, chicke n-skin appearance (Vitamin A deficiency), Eustachian tube blockage, varicose vei ns, white discharges, fat digestion problems. Spider veins on face, rosea-like c

heeks. KALI PHOSPHORICUM (Potassium Phosphate) Kali Phos is found in all fluids and tissues, especially in the brain, nerves, m uscles and blood cells, temples, spleen. Deficiency: anxiety, fear, depression, neuralgia, nervous exhaustion or prostrat ion. Characterized often by intense odor from all openings of the body. Poor gum and dental health. KALI SULPHURICUM (Potassium Sulphate) Kali Sulph is an oxygen carrier of importance to the skin tissues (epidermis and epithelium) Pigmentation of skin. Respiratory, Pancreas. Deficiency: Deposits on tongue, discharge or watery secretions from mucous surfa ces. Scaly skin. Brown spots and/or freckles on cheeks or temples. White patches . Possible thyroid conditions, High fevers, eczema, psoriasis, liver or old-age spots, brown discoloring. Note: This remedy has symptoms of a chronic homeopathic Pulsatilla such as wande ring pains, changeable discharges, moodiness, etc MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA (Magnesium Phosphate) Mag Phos is an earthy constituent of muscles, nerves, bones, brain, spine, sperm a, heart muscle, colon peristalsis (movement), constipation, teeth and blood. Deficiency: Chocolate cravings (Argentum Nitricum) or sugar (Natrum Phos). Pains come on suddenly and are sharp shooting. One of the top cramping remedies. Inso mnia. Right-sided sciatica, toothaches, neuralgic pains, gas pains, etc. Causes muscle fiber and the terminal bulbs of the nerves. Great prostration. Sweats. NATRUM MURIATICUM (Sodium Chloride) Nat Mur is found in every liquid and solid of the body. Since the body is compos ed of about 70% water, this salt regulates the degree of moisture within the cel ls. Systems affected: digestion, connective tissue, upper stomach, skin, kidney and bladder. Deficiency: Water will remain in the intercellular fluid creating a bloated appe arance with watery exudations, salivation, etc. The person is tired, fatigued, d rowsy, chilly and craves salt. Symptoms are worse from 9-11 AM, sun, heat, physi cal exertion, talking, writing, reading, bread, noise and music.

Depression, grief, herpes, M.S. , vaginal dryness, clear runny nasal or sinus discharges NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM (Sodium Phosphate) Nat Phos is found in blood, muscles, nerve and brain cells as well as in interce llular fluid. Its main job is the break down of lactic acid and emulsification o f fatty acids. Lower stomach, intestines and lymphatics.

Deficiency: Thin moist coating on tongue, yellowish creamy-looking soft palate, diarrhea, pains and fever. Red acne. Heartburn, hypoglycemia, blackheads, swolle n glands, sugar cravings, sour smell, acidity conditions, candida. NATRUM SULPHURICUM (Sodium Sulphate) Nat Sulph is found in the intercellular fluid, not inside the cell itself. Its j ob is to eliminate excess waste water, Organs affected are liver, gallbladder, p ancreas, colon, head (trauma). Worse in cold damp weather and lying on left side . Deficiency: Results in gastric bilious (bile/liver) conditions, accumulation of water in the lung, yellow watery secretions on skin, excessive secretion of bile . Swollen hands and feet, depression, suicidal feelings, bad gas, itching skin w ith a greenish tinge, lower eyelid sacks or 'bags'. Head injuries, epilepsy afte r head injury, diabetes, asthma especially in children. Dark red nose. SILICAE (Silica) Silica relates to connective tissue, skin, bones, nutrition, nerves, glands, car tilage. Better in warm and worse in cold. It is found in larger amounts in the v egetable kingdom than the animal kingdom. Essential to the body for bones, joint s, glands, cartilage, skin and mucous surfaces. Deficiency: Aliments affecting the periosteum, chronic pus formation and rheumat ic affections. Wonderful for splinters (is termed the 'homeopathic knife' and wi ll dislodge foreign objects from the skin), exhaustion, malnutrition, vaccinatio n reactions.
