Astrology and Tissue Salts

There are few but a couple of strong associations between homeopathy and astrology. One which is the same for any form of medicine is of the timing of treatment and the preparation of medicines or remedies. This involves much in depth understanding of both astrology and the healing modality used.

A further use is with the more popular and understandable use of tissue salts. Just as there are twelve signs of the zodiac, there are also twelve tissue salts. The correlation between them is based upon which tissues are involved. 

KALI PHOS – ruled by Aries, this salt has a focus upon the nervous system. It accentuates the development of ‘grey matter’ or cortical neurones in the brain. So it is useful in such conditions as fatigue, depression, insomnia, hysteria and headache. It is also healing and antiseptic and so finds great use in skin conditions characterised by burning and irritation.

NAT SULPH – ruled by Taurus, this salt helps with the elimination of excess fluid in the body and so aids kidney function and assist with the elimination of kidney stones as well as gall stones. It finds great use in digestion primarily in its role in the production of bile and pancreatic enzymes and so in jaundice and constipation.

It also relieves inflammation and irritation in the lungs assisting with colds, hayfever, sore throats, measles, chicken pox and scarlet fever.
