In the 19th century, Dr. Wilhelm Schuessler identified 12 essential mineral salts that are present in human cells. He believed that an imbalance in these salts led to common ailments. This led to the creation of New Era Tissue Salts, a range of "cell salts" that are prepared homeopathically to be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes of the mouth.
Ferrum Phos (Iron): The "first aid" salt for the early stages of inflammation or colds.
Kali Phos (Potassium): The nerve nutrient, used for mental fatigue and stress.
Mag Phos (Magnesium): The anti-spasmodic salt, popular for muscle cramps and tension.
Calc Fluor (Calcium): Essential for tissue elasticity (skin, teeth, and joints).
Unlike standard mineral supplements that must be digested in the stomach, new era tissue salts use a "Fast-Melt" technology.
Sublingual Absorption: The tablets dissolve under the tongue, entering the bloodstream quickly.
Gentle Action: They do not cause the stomach upset often associated with high-dose iron or magnesium pills.
They are prepared using homeopathic trituration but follow the "Biochemic" theory of mineral deficiency rather than the "Like Cures Like" principle of classical homeopathy.
Yes, New Era salts are exceptionally gentle and have been used for generations for childhood ailments like teething.
Traditional New Era tablets contained lactose. However, modern "Fast-Melt" versions often use different carriers. Always check the label if you are dairy-intolerant.
A typical "acute" dose is 2-4 tablets every 30 minutes, while a "maintenance" dose is 4 tablets three times a day.
New Era offers "Combination" salts (e.g., Combo H for Hayfever). These are available at Natures Healthbox.
