Tissue (Biochemical) Salts

According to biochemical theory, there are 12 major inorganic salts that make up the composition of our cells and our blood.  The strength of our cells and, as a result, the strength of our organs and tissues depends, in some ways, on our having the necessary quantities of these important salts.  If they become depleted in our tissues, or out of balance with one another, proper functioning can be impaired.  

​

Some of the functions of these cell salts include the following:

​

Calcium:  Strengthens bones, elastic tissues, veins, arteries, teeth, joints and aids the assimilation of other nutrients.

​

Iron:  Oxygenates the blood.  Reduces inflammation.

​

Potassium:  Supports nerve and brain health and function.  Linked to healthy hair and skin.  Aids stomach and bowel functions.

​

Magnesium:  Relieves pain and is an anti-spasmodic.  Strengthens the nervous system.  Supports muscle tissues.

​

Sodium:  Helpful for nerves, muscles, joints and digestive organs.  Supports appropriate water balance in tissues.  Aids in the assimilation of fats and other nutrients.

​

Silica:  Beneficial for bones, nerves, skin, hair and connective tissues.

​

Please note that this is simply an outline for an understanding of how the different salts act in the body.  It is not an exhaustive list nor is it meant for self-diagnosis.
