New Era, Tissue Salts and Dr. Schuessler's therapy

Delano A to S
New Era Tissue Salts...
a natural way to health!

In the late 18th century, a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, became frustrated by the crude medical methods of his days, and tried to find an alternative way of treating his patients. What he discovered was that a substance which could produce similar symptoms to a disease in a healthy person could also treat that disease. The theory became homeopathy and it has been around for hundreds of years.

One of Hahnemann's early disciples, Dr Wilhem Schüessler, was an early adapter of this new system of medicine. At first, he used the full range of homeopathic medicines in his practice, but gradually he narrowed them down to the use of inorganic substances and developed a range of homeopathic medicines based upon twelve of the most common mineral tissue salts found in the human body and critical for health maintenance.

Rather than treating "like with like" these tissue salt remedies treat ailments by correcting imbalances or deficiencies in the body's cell nutrition, helping the body to restore itself to health.

Over time, different combinations of these tissue salts were put together and found to be remarkably helpful for different complaints. Currently a range of tissue salts is available from A to S which, being homeopathic in nature, are totally safe. The surprising thing is, however, that many people who use these simple products faithfully have found them to be extremely helpful in alleviating a wide range of conditions. They are suitable for children and can be taken with other medications.

If symptoms persist or you are worried about the condition, consult your doctor immediately.

The great advantage of using the mineral tissue salt system of medicine is that it is safe and flexible, and allows you complete control over dosage and administration. The system is very different from conventional medicine, as the treatments must be carried out over time. There is not an instant cure using mineral tissue salts, because they work by gradually returning the body to its natural balance.

As an example of a typical therapy, imagine you are suffering from a bad attack of hayfever. With running eyes, an irritating itch at the back of the throat and sneezing, Combination 'H' is the New Era remedy recommended to help relieve these symptoms. You might take 4 tablets at 9:00 am when the symptoms are at their worst, repeating this dosage at 10:00 am and 11:00 am. If you are beginning to feel better, delay taking the next dose until perhaps 1:00 pm. The following day, the symptoms might not be quite so severe, but they do still need to be controlled. In this case, take 3 doses of 4 tablets: a dose in the morning, one in the afternoon, and a third dose in the evening. This pattern of treatment may be necessary for the time that the pollen count is high, but you can reduce it gradually as the count lowers. When all the symptoms have disappeared, it is essential to continue .

Some problems, such as rheumatic pain or sciatica, may need a slightly different approach. For longer-term symptoms, it might be beneficial to undertake therapy at low doses for a number of weeks, increasing the dose or frequency if the symptoms get worse. In these cases, a dose of perhaps 2 tablets twice a day may be adequate to control the symptoms, although 4 tablets could be taken or the frequency of doses increased to 3-5 times a day, if the condition becomes any worse. Again, dosages and frequency of taking the tablets should be tailed off when the symptoms diminish. If symptoms persist, you should always seek professional advice.

Mineral tissue salts are quite safe, and you cannot overdose on them. As you use them, you will learn what combinations, doses and frequency suit you. We all have different metabolisms and ailments, and so with this system, you can gear the treatment to your individual needs. Experiment with mineral tissue salts to find out what is right for you.

How to take mineral tissue salts
Mineral tissue salts are best taken before eating or drinking. The tablets are simply placed inside the mouth below the tongue and allowed to dissolve. This only takes a few seconds. When giving the tablets to children and babies over the age of 3 months, mineral tissue salts can be crushed and placed under the tongue.
