Schuessler No 10 Nat Phos Tissue Salts 125 Tablets

Sodium phosphate, known in homoeopathic shorthand as Nat Phos, is number ten in the Martin & Pleasance Schuessler series and one of the most widely used single tissue salts of all. It's a go-to for people who enjoy rich food, irregular mealtimes or a lively social calendar and want a traditional salt to keep within easy reach.

Schuessler No 10 Nat Phos comes as small 6X tablets that you can chew or dissolve in water, so it's easy to take at home, at work or while travelling.

Getting to Know Nat Phos

Sodium phosphate is a compound of sodium and phosphate. In Dr Schuessler's biochemic system, it was regarded as the salt connected with the body's acid-alkaline balance, which is why it's traditionally linked with digestion and with diets high in rich or acidic foods. Here it is prepared at a 6X potency by triturating the mineral with lactose, following Dr Schuessler's original method.

Nat Phos is also included in several Schuessler combinations, among them Combination 5, Combination 12, Combination E and Combination S. As a single salt, though, it lets you focus on sodium phosphate on its own or pair it with other individual salts to create a routine that suits you.

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.
