1. Calcarea Sulphurica #3
Calcarea Sulphurica or calcium sulphate, often just called Calc Sulph, is a blood purifier and helps to rid the body of unwanted materials and invaders. This can include viruses and mucus caused by respiratory infections.
Take this tissue salt upon the first onset of symptoms to help lessen the severity and duration of your respiratory illness.

2. Ferrum Phosphoricum #4
Ferrum Phosphoricum or iron phosphate, frequently referred to as Ferr Phos, improves the levels of oxygen in your blood. Oxygen-rich blood is vital for optimal cell function throughout your body.
Known as the “First Aid Cell Salt,” Ferr Phos fights the inflammatory effects of disease and should be taken early on when symptoms are first noticed, and frequently during the acute phase of an illness.
Consider taking Ferr Phos daily at the beginning or throughout flu season as a precautionary measure.

3. Kali Muriaticum #5
Kali Muriaticum or potassium chloride, also known as Kali Mur for short, improves healthy cell functions specifically by cleansing and optimizing the fluids found around cells.
This is valuable to take during times of illness and gives your body the boost it needs to get better faster. The mineral, potassium chloride, is vital to healthy mucous membranes, saliva, interstitial fluid, and glands.

4. Kali Sulphuricum #7
Kali Sulphuricum or potassium sulfate, also known as Kali Sulph for short, is referred to as the cell lubricant and is especially needed if you are experiencing sticky, yellow mucous discharge, often occurring during the later stage of infections. In addition to supporting irritated mucous linings, it also encourages perspiration to rid the body of toxins and encourage healing.
Kali Sulph also plays an important role in cellular oxygenation by regulating the exchange of carbon dioxide between the cells and blood.

Called the detoxification salt, it helps the organs and tissues of your excretory system remove waste. Nat Sulph is the primary remedy for influenza or the flu.
