Schuessler Combination 5 Tissue Salts 125 Tablets

Five phosphate salts, one small tablet. Schuessler Combination 5 draws together a carefully chosen group of mineral phosphates from Dr Schuessler's twelve, creating a blend that Martin & Pleasance traditionally describes as a nerve tonic. It's a popular choice for people who want a single, convenient tablet during demanding stretches of work, study or family life.

Rather than taking several single salts separately, Combination 5 saves time by bringing them into one 6X tablet. You can chew it, let it dissolve slowly, or crush it into a little water - whatever suits you best.

Inside Combination 5

Every tablet contains five salts, each at a 6X potency: Calc Phos (calcium phosphate), Mag Phos (magnesium phosphate), Ferrum Phos (iron phosphate), Nat Phos (sodium phosphate) and Kali Phos (potassium phosphate). What links them all is phosphate, a mineral group found in every cell of the body and central to the way the tissue salt system was originally set out.

Within the Schuessler tradition, Kali Phos and Mag Phos are associated with the nervous system, Calc Phos is viewed as a nourishing salt, Ferrum Phos is linked with oxygen carrying, and Nat Phos is associated with the body's acid-alkaline balance. Taken together, they form one of the most well-rounded combinations in the range and a sensible choice for anyone wanting a general all-round phosphate blend.

Where Tissue Salts Come From

Dr Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler (1821-1898) developed his biochemic system after years of studying the mineral content of human tissues. He settled on twelve salts, each prepared at a gentle potency by trituration with milk sugar, and suggested they be taken as small, easily dissolved tablets. His ideas proved popular well beyond Germany, and the twelve salts he described are still produced to the same principles by specialist manufacturers today.

About Martin & Pleasance

Martin & Pleasance is an Australian natural health company with roots stretching back to the nineteenth century, and its Schuessler range is one of the best known tissue salt collections in the world. Each tablet is produced at a 6X potency, meaning the mineral has been diluted one part in ten, six times over, and the tablets are small, quick to chew and simple to crush. The range uses an alphabetical numbering system from No 1 Calc Fluor through to No 12 Silica, which is worth knowing as some other manufacturers number the salts in a different order.

Handy Tips for Everyday Use

• Keep the bottle somewhere visible so you remember your doses through the day
• Avoid strong mint, coffee or food for around half an hour either side of a dose
• Crushing a tablet into a teaspoon of water makes it easy to share a smaller dose with children
• The compact bottle fits neatly into a handbag, gym bag or travel kit

For a single tablet that covers five phosphate salts at once, Combination 5 is a practical, time-saving choice for busy adults.
