Schuessler Combination Q Tissue Salts 125 Tablets

A stuffy, heavy feeling around the nose and forehead can make it hard to concentrate, and it often seems to linger long after the rest of a seasonal chill has passed. Schuessler Combination Q is the four-salt blend Martin & Pleasance traditionally recommends for the sinuses and nasal passages, and it's a regular purchase for people who find this area is often their weak spot.

Many customers take it through the damp autumn and winter months as part of their seasonal routine.

A Closer Look at Combination Q

Each tablet contains equal amounts of Ferrum Phos (iron phosphate), Kali Mur (potassium chloride), Kali Sulph (potassium sulphate) and Nat Mur (sodium chloride) at 6X. In the tissue salt tradition, Ferrum Phos is associated with the earliest stage of discomfort, Kali Mur with the second stage, Kali Sulph with the later stage and Nat Mur with the moisture of the mucous membranes.

By covering each of these stages in one tablet, Combination Q offers a thorough, well-rounded blend for the nose and sinuses.

From Oldenburg to Your Cupboard

It was in the German town of Oldenburg that Dr Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler developed the system now known around the world as tissue salts. Writing in 1873, he described twelve minerals he considered essential to the body's tissues and recommended that they be taken in minute, carefully prepared amounts. That gentle approach, combined with tablets small enough for children to take, helped tissue salts become a staple of family wellbeing, and they continue to sit proudly on the shelves of independent health food shops today.

Why Martin & Pleasance?

Few names are as closely tied to tissue salts as Martin & Pleasance. The Australian company has specialised in Schuessler salts for generations, and it still follows the traditional method of triturating each mineral with lactose to a 6X potency. The result is a small, gentle tablet with a mild, slightly sweet taste that most people find easy to take, children included. The range is clearly organised too, with single salts numbered 1 to 12 and combinations identified by letter or number, so it's simple to build a routine around the salts you use most.

How People Use It

Some customers keep Combination Q for the times they feel they need it most, taking doses more frequently for a short spell, while others prefer a steady four-times-daily routine over several weeks. Either way, it's best taken half an hour before food, away from strong flavours like mint and coffee. Many people also find it helpful to pair it with other Schuessler salts, as recommended by their practitioner.
