Homoeopathic Medical College Schussler’s twelve tissue remedy are the minerals that were first introduced in homoeopathy by Dr.
and Hospital, Chandigarh, Schussler. They’re helpful in maintaining the proper cell functioning and provide support to the body’s
Punjab, India health by regulating cells tissue salt level. These tissue remedy are formulated by adding minimal
amount of tissue salt. The biochemic tissue remedies are inorganic tissue salts. There are of total twelve

Homoeopathic, Medical The biochemic medicines is a system of medicine that was proposed by Dr. Schussler in
College and Hospital, [Link] theory is based on the fact that a standard amount of organic and inorganic
Chandigarh, Punjab, India
constituents defines the natural activity, structure, and vitality of the cell. These biochemic
tissue salts helps in maintaining the equilibrium and balance the molecular activity in the
cell.
According to Dr. Schuessler, any fluctuation especially, deficiency in the amount of tissue
salts, will cause the disease conditions. This kind of disturbed equilibrium and balance can
be rectified by administering the same mineral salt in small quantities. Thus by supplying
defeciencies the harmony in cell and vitality in living tissue maintained.
For e.g A child suffering from rickets shows lack of phosphate and calcium in the bones,
Same as in iron deficiency anaemia patient, there is lack of ferrum in the circulation, now
administering same salt will bring back the condition into normal state and helps in curing
rickety child and iron deficiency anaemia patient.

Here are the 12 tissue remedy as per Dr. Schussler

▪ Calcarea flourica(calc flour)-elasticity fiber
▪ Calcarea Phosphorica(calc phos)-cell restorer
▪ Calcarea Sulphurica(calc sulph)-blood purifier
▪ Ferrum Phosphoricum(ferrum phos)-oxygen carrier
▪ Kalium Muriaticum(kali mur)-detoxifier
▪ Kalium Phosphoricum(kali phos)-nerve stabiliser
▪ Kalium sulphuricum(kali sulph)-skin conditioner
▪ Magnesia Phosphorica(mag phos)-pain killer
▪ Natrum Muriaticum(nat mur)-water metaboliser
▪ Natrum Phosphoricum(nat phos)-acid neutralizer
