STRENGTHEN NERVES & SHARPENS SKILL – BIOCHEMIC SYSTEM OF MEDICINE

 Bio = Living (life), Chemic = Chemical.

Biochemic combinations or cell salts or tissue salts have been dispensed as combination since the time of Schussler. A German physician Dr. Schussler realized that a deficiency of certain tissue salts can lead to a number of diseases. These salts are normal components of healthy tissues are essential for the growth and development of the body. Although this system is considered to be an offshoot of Homoeopathy, it has its independent standing. Unlike homeopathic medicines that are in thousands and are available in various potencies or scales, the biochemic remedies are just twelve in number and are available in the 3X, 6X, 12X, 30X, and 200X potencies.

It means chemical activity in living or life. In Homoeopathy whatever the drug that we ultimately use contains chemicals which may be organic or inorganic. The source may be from vegetable, animal kingdom or may be mineral, sarcode or nosode. For example, Colocynth which is derived from vegetable kingdom contains Magnesium phosphate (Mag-phos); Arnica and China contain Potassium phosphate (Kali-phos); Lycopodium contains Silicea and so on. Biochemic salts are nothing but Homoeopathic medicines in the Decimal scale.

Homoeopathy is one of the most popular holistic systems of medicine. The aim of homoeopathy is not only to treat deficiency symptoms but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility. As far as therapeutic medication is concerned, several well-proved remedies are available for various deficiency symptoms that can be selected on the basis of cause, condition, sensation and modalities of the complaints. A few remedies are known to help in proper assimilation of nutrients, certain biochemics such as Ferrum phos, Calcarea phos, Kali phos, Natrum phos and Mag phos. Five Phos is used as a general tonic for those people who are busy most of the time in mental work especially for students. The use of Five Phos keeps the person tired free all the day long.
