Schuessler Combination D Tissue Salts 125 Tablets

Four mineral salts make up Schuessler Combination D, a blend Martin & Pleasance designed around the skin. It's a popular choice for anyone who likes to look after their complexion from the inside out, and it fits easily alongside your usual cleansing and moisturising routine.

Martin & Pleasance suggests using Combination D as a course rather than occasionally, as skin renews itself gradually over several weeks. The small 6X tablets can be chewed, allowed to dissolve slowly, or crushed into a little water.

Inside Combination D

Each tablet contains Calc Sulph (calcium sulphate), Kali Mur (potassium chloride), Kali Sulph (potassium sulphate) and Silica (silicea), all at a 6X potency. In Dr Schuessler's system, Calc Sulph is regarded as a cleansing salt, Kali Sulph is associated with the outer layers of the skin, Silica with connective tissue, and Kali Mur with the body's glands and fibrin.

Together, these four minerals form one of the more popular combinations in the range. If you already enjoy No 7 Kali Sulph or No 12 Silica as single salts, Combination D offers a convenient way to take them alongside two complementary salts in one tablet. It's suitable for adults and, at a reduced dose, for children and teenagers.

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
• 125 tablets per pack

Taken as a steady course, Combination D is a simple way to support your skincare routine with a traditional blend of four mineral salts. It pairs well with a gentle cleanser, a good moisturiser and plenty of water through the day.
