Schuessler No 9 Nat Mur Tissue Salts 125 Tablets

Common salt might be the most familiar mineral in any kitchen, but in Dr Schuessler's system sodium chloride plays a rather more refined role. Schuessler No 9 Nat Mur presents this everyday mineral at a 6X potency, prepared into a small tablet that dissolves quickly and is easy to take at any time of day.

In the tissue salt tradition, Nat Mur is regarded as the salt that governs the distribution of water throughout the body. Because of this, it's often chosen by people thinking about moisture balance - from the skin and lips through to the eyes and nose - especially in dry, heated rooms or during seasonal changes.

Understanding Nat Mur

Nat Mur is short for Natrum Muriaticum, the traditional Latin name for sodium chloride. Sodium is one of the body's principal electrolytes and plays a part in maintaining normal fluid balance. In this tablet, though, the salt is present at a 6X potency - a tiny amount prepared by grinding the mineral with lactose - so it is very different from the table salt you add to food.

Nat Mur also appears in Combination 12 and Combination K. As a single salt, it's a flexible addition to any tissue salt routine and can be paired with others in the range as you choose.

A Little Background on Tissue Salts

The tissue salt system was set out by Dr Wilhelm Schuessler, a nineteenth-century German doctor who believed that twelve inorganic mineral salts were fundamental to the makeup of the body. He prepared each one at a low potency, grinding it repeatedly with lactose until only a minute amount of mineral remained in every tablet. His approach spread across Europe and then the wider world, and today it sits alongside homoeopathy as part of many people's traditional natural health routine.

Quality You Can Rely On

Martin & Pleasance has been producing Schuessler tissue salts for many decades, and the range is sold in pharmacies and health food stores across several continents. The tablets are made to a consistent 6X potency, so every dose contains the same carefully prepared amount of mineral. They are pocket-sized, discreet and easy to take wherever you are - at your desk, in the car or before bed.

Getting the Most From Your Tablets

• Take tablets half an hour away from food and drink for best results
• Let the tablet dissolve slowly or chew it gently - there's no need to swallow it whole
• For younger family members, crush the tablet and dissolve it in a little water
• Store in a cool, dry place with the lid firmly closed
• Each bottle holds 125 tablets, giving you a generous supply

Easy to take and simple to combine with others, No 9 Nat Mur is a flexible single salt that suits a wide range of tissue salt routines. Keep a bottle handy through the winter months when central heating and cold winds can leave you feeling dried out.
