I have done a short course in Tissue salts, why should I do this course?
Short courses can give you the basics of the tissue salts and some prescriptions to get started. They cant give you the depth and understanding that this course does. Usually they do not include the biochemic theory. Nor do they include all the facial signs for each of the tissue salts. So when you have a client with more complicated history or presentation you don’t have the basic biochemic understanding to know what else could be going on. This course teaches you not just what you are likely to see, but also why you are likely to see some facial signs or history for one mineral, what could be causing the deficiency, what other minerals the client may need, and why. Consequently our students get better results.
Why does the biochemistry knowledge matter? Isn’t it enough to know a bit about the remedies?
Knowing and understanding the Biochemic principles means that you understand why your prescription is or isn’t working. It also helps you understand what the next step is, and it may even help you know if your client is taking the minerals or not.
Understanding the minerals role in the body means you have a much greater ability to prescribe accurately.
Can I practice with this course?
I am a qualified Health Practitioner, can I use this course for Continuing Education Points?
This course teaches “The Clinical Science of Biochemic Therapy”, a scientifically proven evidence based therapy. It is a Continuing Education Module for Doctors, Dentists, Chemists and Veterinary Surgeons and associated modalities in the European Union. It is applicable for Continuing Education Points in many Associations in Australia, and UK, including IICT which is in over 13 countries. Please check with your Association.

Do I need to join ANOTHER Association?
No. You don’t need to join any extra associations so don’t have ongoing Association costs after doing this. Continue with your current association and let them know you have completed this course.
Can I get Insurance to Practice?
Please follow the appropriate requirements for you country. The Clinical Science of Biochemic Therapy Diploma Course is taught in Conjunction with the the Institute of Biochemic Medicine (Asia-Pacific) and is approved and recrgnised by IICT, the International Institute of Complementary Therapists. They provide insurance for practitioners in many countries. Contact IICT for further information.
What if I have a difficult case, how will I know what minerals are needed?
Some cases are more difficult than others. We have found it makes a big difference if you have a mentor for these cases, to help build confidence when you are starting out. We have experienced resident biochemists on staff who can help to answer these questions. More importantly we want you to learn from such cases, so you can gain confidence. We have a unique system to support you that uses what you already know, combined with a facial photo, and then feedback so that you learn and understand why the particular minerals are needed. This system is unique to this course, and really supports your learning, understanding and confidence in prescribing. One of our goals is to support you in being the best practitioner you can be. It’s amazing how quickly your confidence builds.
How can I get the most out of this course?
What do I get if I want to start now?
If you pay $800 you can start now. You receive everything included in the Monthly payment option. AND We will provide links to the book pack containing all the books you need, so that you can get started now. We will also start you on the Online Program. You can also choose which venue you wish to attend for the Live workshop where you can also sit your final Assessment. Every pace and form of learning style is covered.
I am really interested in Tissue Salts but don’t want to practice. Can I still do this course?
Yes, not everyone who enrols wants to practice, but some people want really detailed knowledge to help their family. We have some great stories from students who have done this and love how empowered they are in their family’s health afterwards.
But I don’t remember very well, I won’t know enough to sit an exam.
Our teaching style reinforces what you learn along the way. You will be amazed at how much you actually know. Please take note of special sections to review. Previous participants have often commented on how much they actually know.
I am worried that I won’t be able to see the signs. How will I know which Facial signs they are showing?
You are taught a number of ways to tell which remedies are required. Facial signs are just one of the signs and symptoms. You can also ask questions about the specific facial signs for each remedy. Clients usually know, and are quite forthcoming with the answers. The client’s history and their signs and symptoms, skin textures and more that will all build to tell you what minerals are deficient. You will also learn key questions that also help refine which remedies are required. It’s amazing how many times clients will ask you about a specific facial sign that they have, For example:
- “Can you do anything about this puffiness under my eyes – I have tried lots of creams and it never works.”
- “I get really red in the face but my face isn’t hot.”
- “Can you do anything about these dark rings around my eyes?”
If you have any further questions
Please send them to me at robyn@bodyharmony.net.au, so that I can answer them or include them. Chances are if you are asking, someone else will too.
What are Tissue Salts?
Tissue Salts are the key minerals that the body uses for every function within the body. they are sometimes called Biochemic Minerals, or Cell Salts because they are in a dose that is working at the cellular level, affecting the biochemistry of the body. If any of these minerals are out of balance, then you start to experience facial signs and/or symptoms. Provide the right minerals in the right dose, and symptoms change, often quite quickly. The diploma course teaches you how to recognise the signs of mineral deficiency and how to treat those deficiencies with Tissue Salts. It also teaches you how to work out why those deficiencies are happening, and how to get to the cause of the issue.
Who Was Dr Schuessler?
Dr. (Med) Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler (1821-1898) was a Medical Doctor, Midwife, and Homoeopath. Schuessler was convinced that missing inorganic mineral salts would result in illness. He was inspired by the works of Ductch physiologist Jacob Moleschott who realised that phosphorus was essential for the nervous system. and Rudolf Virchow, who stated in his work “Cellular Pathology” (which remains relevent today) that “every sickness or illness is a result of a disruption of the cells” and Schuessler was convinced that the missing inorganic mineral salts would result in illness, so if you “add the missing mineral salt, you normalize cell metabolism”
His research analysing the bodys mineral content confirmed the connection between the change of minerals and the casue of illness.
In 1873 he published his results “A shortened therapy based on Histology and Cellular Pathology.
The Biologist Guenther Carl Stahlkopf scientifically proved Schuessler’s theory in 1972 by experimenting with (No1) Calcium Fluoride, (No3) Ferrum Phosphate and (No11) Silica on mono-cells. Depke and hickethier have also confirmed and added to the Facial signs and symptoms recognised by Dr Schuessler for the mineral Deficiencies.
Where Can I purchase Tissue Salts?
There are many different brands of Tissue Salts. I cannot give you recommendations as different brands are available in Different countries. However, In the course I give you links to the Institute of Biochemic Medicine who can help with how to access suppliers in many countries throughout Asia, Europe, Africa and US.
