Biochemic Tissue Cell Salts for Pregnancy


Why Tissue Salts?
Pregnancy Tissue Salt Programme — a gentle, natural approach many naturopaths, midwives, and homeopaths recommend to support pregnancy and postpartum recovery using cell salts.
The idea is that during pregnancy, the demand for minerals increases dramatically — not only to support the growing baby, but to keep the mother strong, balanced, and nourished. Tissue salts offer a microdose way to help with this, working on a cellular level without overwhelming the body.
You can purchase these tissue salts in most homeopathic pharmacies such as Helios, please speak to a qualified practitioner for advice before taking.
You can find out more on how to support your pregnancy with the Homeopathic Pregnancy Programme.
🧡 How to Take Them:
-
Usually taken 3–4 tablets of each salt, 2–3 times per day.
-
Many people take combination tablets to make things easier — like Martin & Pleasance, Schuessler Tissue Salts, or Hyland’s brands.
-
Safe alongside prenatal vitamins and other supplements (but always best to check with your practitioner if you're on medications or have complex health needs).
