Cell Salts for Digestion & Acid Balance
We’ve all been there: uncomfortable bloating after a meal, that burning feeling in your chest, or slow digestion that leaves you tired and heavy. For many people, these issues come down to mineral imbalances in the body.
That’s why cell salts (also called tissue salts or Dr. Schuessler cell salts) can help. Two specific salts, Nat Phos and Nat Mur, are often chosen for digestion and acid balance. Rather than masking discomfort, they support your body’s natural ability to process food and stay balanced.

Why Digestion Matters
Good digestion shows up in how well your body absorbs nutrients, manages energy, and keeps everything moving smoothly.
When acid levels are off, or when your body can’t balance fluids properly, you may feel:
-
Heavy or bloated after meals
-
Gassy, with burping or discomfort
-
Acid reflux or heartburn
-
Constipation or sluggish bowels
-
Cravings for salty or heavy foods
Instead of quick-fix pills, cell salts take a gentler approach: they’re prepared with natural minerals in microdoses, made to gently support the body’s mineral balance at the cellular level.
The Key Cell Salts for Digestion & Acid Balance
1. Nat Phos (Sodium Phosphate)
-
Known as the “acid neutralizer.”
-
Traditionally used for acid reflux, heartburn, gas, and sour stomach.
-
Recommended to help balance acidity after rich, fatty, or spicy foods.
-
Commonly used for stiffness and joint aches linked to high acidity in the body.
Nat Phos temporarily relieves occasional acidity, burning discomfort in the chest, gas, urinary tract discomfort, upset stomach, and sore, swollen, and painful joints. Temporarily supports the functions of your stomach, intestines, and joints.
2. Nat Mur (Sodium Chloride)
-
The “water regulator.”
-
Traditionally used for dryness or excessive fluid, like constipation, bloating, or water retention.
-
Supports hydration and fluid balance throughout the body.
-
Also chosen for digestive sluggishness that feels linked to overall imbalance.
Nat Mur temporarily relieves any dryness or wetness on the body, occasional watery and loose stools, runny nose, vomiting, dry and painful throat, delayed menstruation, coldness, indigestion, nerve discomfort, general weakness, low iron levels, discomfort due to skin issues, and more. Temporarily supports healthy weight loss.
Together, Nat Phos and Nat Mur provide a powerful duo for smoother digestion and better comfort.
How to Use Cell Salts for Digestion
-
Take before or after meals: Nat Phos is especially helpful if taken when heartburn or acidity tends to show up.
-
Stay consistent: For ongoing digestive support, daily use is best.
-
Combine if needed: Many people take Nat Phos and Nat Mur together for complete acid and fluid balance.
-
Safe for all ages: Gentle enough for the whole family.
FAQs
Can cell salts replace antacids or digestive pills?
Cell salts are not meant to replace medication but can provide a gentler, supportive alternative for everyday discomfort.
How quickly do they work?
Some people notice changes right away with Nat Phos for heartburn. For longer-term issues like bloating or sluggish digestion, steady use over time is best (we recommend at least 30 days).
Can I take them if I already use probiotics or supplements?
Yes! Cell salts are safe to use alongside other remedies and don’t interfere with digestion aids.
