Pregnancy is a remarkable journey, but it can come with a few unwelcome discomforts, especially when having babies later in life. Fortunately, 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 may have easily handled pregnancy in our 20s, face new challenges as we enter our 30s and 40s. For instance, our skin's elasticity decreases, making us more prone to stretch marks and other unwelcome surprises. However, 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 comprise 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, making them particularly beneficial during pregnancy.
Calc Fluor: Your Skin's Best Friend
Meet Tissue Salt #1, Calc Fluor. This essential tissue salt helps keep skin and connective tissues elastic, which is crucial during pregnancy as your skin stretches to accommodate your growing baby. Starting Calc Fluor as early as possible, even before pregnancy, can help reduce the formation of stretch marks and keep your skin healthy and happy throughout your pregnancy.
Tackling Haemorrhoids
Stretch marks aren’t the only issue pregnant women may encounter. Haemorrhoids can be a real discomfort. During the last trimester, your body increases progesterone production, which slows down the contractions of your uterus and, unfortunately, your colon. This slowdown can lead to constipation and, subsequently, haemorrhoids. Calc Fluor can help strengthen blood vessel walls, reducing the likelihood of developing haemorrhoids.
Fighting Colds and Sniffles
Pregnancy can make you more susceptible to colds and sniffles, especially if you’re around others with runny noses. Many over-the-counter medications are off-limits during pregnancy, which can be frustrating. This is where Tissue Salt #4, Ferrum Phos, comes in. Ferrum Phos supports your immune system and reduces inflammation, helping to 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. For best results, dissolve the tablets under your tongue. To support skin elasticity and prevent stretch marks, take Calc Fluor twice daily throughout your pregnancy and for a few months afterwards. Increase the dosage to three times a day for haemorrhoids, and remember to stay active, hydrated, and eat a fibre-rich diet. If you’re sensitive to lactose, it’s a good idea to consult with your healthcare professional before starting Natura Tissue Salts, as they are made with a lactose base.
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 unwell.
