Spring: A Time to Restore Your Alkalinity

Spring is a time of renewal—both inside and out. It’s the perfect season to support your body in returning to balance, especially when it comes to your acid-alkaline levels.

So many people I speak with say things like, “I can’t eat that—it gives me heartburn,” or “I always need to take something after drinking this or that.” What I love about Tissue Salts is that they don’t just mask the symptoms—they work at a cellular level, helping to restore balance and address the root cause of discomfort.

Why Acid-Alkaline Balance Matters

Many Western diets tend to leave our bodies overly acidic—often due to a high intake of poor-quality fats, excess protein, low fiber, and too much sugar. Over time, this imbalance can contribute to inflammation and increase the risk of various health issues affecting the gut, skin, brain, and muscles.

Creating a more alkaline internal environment helps your body function at its best. It can reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and enhance nutrient absorption—something I see time and time again when people begin to focus on restoring that balance.

The Tissue Salts Approach

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may be a sign your acid-alkaline balance needs attention:

• Heartburn
• Gastric reflux
• Stomach discomfort
• Indigestion
• Bloating
• Burning sensation in the oesophagus
• Dyspepsia

One of the best starting points is Nat Phos (Sodium phosphate)—a go-to Tissue Salt for helping the body manage acidity and relieve symptoms such as reflux and bloating.

If your symptoms have been present for more than a few months, I often recommend Combination C, a blend of four key Tissue Salts that work synergistically to restore cellular balance and support a more alkaline state:

• Mag Phos – supports muscle function and eases cramping

• Nat Phos – helps reduce acidity

• Nat Sulph – supports liver and digestive health

• Silica – strengthens connective tissues and supports detoxification

How to Take Them

For acute symptoms, take one Tissue Salt every 30 minutes for up to six doses, then continue every two hours as needed until you feel relief.

For longer-term support, I recommend taking Combination C four times daily for at least three months, to allow your cells the time and nourishment they need to rebalance.

Simple Tips to Support Alkalinity

It's not about being perfect—it’s about building small habits that naturally support your body. Here’s where to begin:

• Take your Tissue Salts regularly—four times daily, or more often in acute situations
• Reduce acidic foods such as sugar, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and processed meats
• Choose lean, quality sources of protein
• Practise mindful eating—chew thoroughly and pause between bites
• Move your body daily
• Manage stress—chronic stress can increase acidity
• Prioritise sleep—your body repairs and balances during rest
• Moderate your intake of alcohol and spicy foods

Remember: your body is always striving to maintain natural balance. Tissue Salts simply support that process—gently and effectively. Spring is a beautiful time to reset, support your inner wellbeing, and feel the difference that true balance can bring.

With warmth and wellness,
