Schuessler No 05 Kali Mur Tissue Salts 125 Tablets

Where Ferr Phos is the salt for the very first stage, Kali Mur traditionally steps in a little later. Schuessler No 05 Kali Mur is often described as the glandular tonic of the twelve, and it's a well-loved salt for times when you feel congested or simply not quite back to your usual self.

Many tissue salt users alternate Kali Mur with Ferr Phos, and the two are so often used together that Martin & Pleasance combines them in Combination T.

What Is Kali Mur?

Kali Mur is short for potassium chloride, a mineral found naturally in the body's fluids and cells. In Dr Schuessler's system it's associated with the second stage of inflammation, with the glands and with the mucous membranes, which is why it has a long history of use during the colder months.

As a single salt, Kali Mur is perfect for building your own routine or following a practitioner's advice. It also features in Combination 12, Combination D, Combination J, Combination M, Combination N, Combination Q, Combination S and Combination T.

Where Tissue Salts Began

The tissue salt system was first set out in the 1870s by Dr Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler, a physician working in northern Germany. He believed that twelve mineral salts formed the basic building blocks of the body's cells and that keeping them in balance was central to everyday wellbeing. Rather than giving large mineral doses, he triturated each salt with milk sugar to create a very gentle preparation. Generations of families have since kept a few of his salts in the cupboard, and the original twelve are still made to the same principles 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 No 05 Kali Mur 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.
