Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it can come with a few annoying discomforts, especially when we’re having babies later in life.

Natura Tissue Salts can help alleviate some common issues associated with pregnancy, making the experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

The Benefits of Tissue Salts

Our bodies, which might have breezed through pregnancy in our 20s, face new challenges as we enter our 30s and 40s.

Our skin’s elasticity decreases, making us more prone to stretch marks and other little joys. But don’t worry, there’s hope with tissue salts!

Tissue salts, like those offered by Natura, are biochemic remedies that address various health concerns. Developed in the 19th century by Dr Wilhelm Schuessler, tissue salts encompass 12 essential minerals necessary for proper cell function and health. These mineral-based supplements help maintain and restore the elasticity of our skin and connective tissues.

Calc Fluor: Your Skin’s Best Friend

Meet Tissue Salt #1, Calc Fluor. It helps keep skin and connective tissues elastic, which is crucial during pregnancy as your skin stretches to accommodate your growing baby. Start taking Calc Fluor as soon as possible, or, if you can, before you’re even pregnant, to help reduce the formation of stretch marks and keep your skin healthy and happy.

Tackling Haemorrhoids

Stretch marks aren’t the only issue pregnant women may encounter. Haemorrhoids can be a real pain in the, well, you know… In your last trimester, your body ramps up progesterone, slowing down the contractions of your uterus and, unfortunately, your colon. This slow-down can cause constipation, leading to haemorrhoids. Calc Fluor can help strengthen blood vessel walls, reducing the likelihood of developing haemorrhoids.

Fighting Colds and Sniffles

Lastly, let’s talk about colds and sniffles. Being pregnant seems to make you a magnet for them, especially if you’re around runny noses. Many over-the-counter meds are off-limits, which can be frustrating. Enter Tissue Salt #4, Ferrum Phos. It supports your immune system and reduces inflammation, helping fight off infections. By taking Ferrum Phos at the onset of symptoms, you can reduce the severity and duration of colds and sore throats.

How to Incorporate Tissue Salts Into Your Routine

Tissue salts are gentle, non-toxic, and have no known side effects, making them an excellent choice for pregnant women. Dissolve the tablets under your tongue for best results. To support skin elasticity and prevent stretch marks, take Calc Fluor twice daily throughout your pregnancy and for a few months afterward. Increase the dosage to three times a day for haemorrhoids, stay active hydrated, and consume a fibre-rich diet. Just a heads-up: Natura Tissue Salts are made with a lactose base, so if you’re sensitive to lactose, it’s a good idea to consult with your health professional before starting them.

When you feel the onset of a cold or sore throat, take Ferrum Phos every 15 minutes until symptoms subside. You can also take it as a preventive measure if you’re exposed to others who are sick.
