Biochemic Tissue Salts 1.3

The Biochemic Tissue Salts mobile application serves as a comprehensive resource for practitioners and students alike, detailing twelve essential tissue salts. It presents information including an introduction, common names, preparation methods, ailments addressed, constitutional indications, miasms, key symptoms, mental symptoms, treatment modalities, clinical conditions, therapeutic applications, and self-assessment questions. This app functions as a valuable tool for in-depth understanding and practical application of Biochemic Cell Salts.

Commonly referred to as Biochemic Cell Salts or Schuessler Tissue Salts, this system of medicine was developed by Dr. Schuessler in Germany. The term "Biochemistry" derives from the Greek word 'Bios,' meaning 'Life,' and 'Chemistry,' which denotes a scientific field focused on the composition and properties of substances. Consequently, it can be interpreted as the 'Chemistry of Life.'

This distinctive therapeutic approach is grounded in the Law of Deficiency. As articulated by Professor Moleschott of Rome, "The structure and vitality of the organs depend upon the presence of the necessary quantities of inorganic constituents." The core principle posits that a deficiency in inorganic salts disrupts cellular function; therefore, when these salts are administered in appropriate quantities, balance can be restored. The Biochemic system of medicine supports the body's inherent healing processes by replenishing deficient salts within specific tissues.

The app provides extensive explanations for each of the twelve tissue salts:

1. Calcarea Fluor (Fluoride of Lime or Calcium) CaF2
2. Calcarea Phos (Phosphate of Lime or Calcium) Ca3(PO4)2
3. Calcarea Sulph (Sulphate of Lime or Calcium) CaSO4·12H2O
4. Ferrum Phos (Phosphate of Iron) Fe(PO4)2
5. Kali Mur (Chloride of Potash) KCl
6. Kali Phos (Phosphate of Potash) K2HPO4
7. Kali Sulph (Sulphate of Potash) K2SO4
8. Magnesia Phos (Phosphate of Magnesia) MgHPO4·7H2O
9. Natrum Mur (Chloride of Soda or Sodium, common salt) NaCl
10. Natrum Phos (Phosphate of Soda or Sodium) Na2HPO4·12H2O
11. Natrum Sulph (Sulphate of Soda or Sodium) Na2SO4
12. Silicea (Silica or Silicon Dioxide) SiO2
