This is pretty long review and I got lots of help from the website cos I'm no doctor. Trust me it is really worth the read. So Dischem is my new favourite store. I love walking around and picking up items from the shelves and seeing the health benefits. I suffer from headaches quite often and I don't like reaching for headache tablets because I don't feel comfortable taking them everyday. It feels like they are dangerous to be taking them all the time.

I then found the perfect solution. I spotted tiny little purple glass bottles. They were called Natura Biochemic Tissue Salts. The price of them varies but they are approximately around R20 per bottle and each bottle contains 125 little tablets. They are basically homeopathic tablets which you can use every day, multiple times a day. They are safe for kids, pregnant women and you can use multiple variants at one go. You dissolve them under your tongue. You don't even need to drink water as they have a sweet taste to them.

I hope you give them a try. It really helps prevent ailments and they are so good for you because they are minerals. I hardly suffer from headaches any longer as I use these as preventative measures.

Quick overview from the website on tissue salts (http://www.natura.co.za/B_PSaltS_Home.asp)

Tissues salts were originally identified by the 19th century German physician, Dr. Wilhelm Schüssler, who prepared them according to a special grinding process known as trituration. Trituration makes these minerals easy for the body to absorb so they are effective even in minute doses. One of the major benefits of tissue salts is that they are very safe and can be used by anyone, including pregnant women, infants and the elderly.

Tissue salts can help you to restore wellness from the inside out as they enable your cells to make better use of the nutrients available from the food you eat. Help your body to heal itself by using Natura’s range of pleasant tasting tissue salts and quickly correct imbalances in the body and restore health.
