Natura Mag Phos D6 Tissue Salts Tablets

Natura Mag Phos D6 Tissue Salts Tablets are a homoeopathic complementary medicine, traditionally used to support relief from muscle cramps, spasms, stiffness and spasmodic discomfort. Mag Phos (Magnesium Phosphoricum) is one of the biochemic tissue salts, and it's a remedy many parents keep close to hand for the wind, cramps and colic that come with the early months, as well as for everyday grown-up complaints like muscular pain, menstrual cramps and back pain.

The tablets carry Mag Phos D6 in a lactose base and are designed to dissolve under the tongue, so there's nothing to swallow. For babies, a single tablet can be crushed and dissolved in a little cooled boiled water, breastmilk or formula and given by spoon or medicine dropper. Each pack holds 125 tablets, and because the format is small and dissolvable, it's easy to keep in the nappy bag or medicine cupboard.

How it works

• Smooth muscle support: Mag Phos is traditionally used to gently relax smooth muscle tissue, which is why it's associated with easing the spasms and cramping linked to tummy discomfort.
• Nervous and muscular systems: It's described as supporting both the nervous and muscular systems, which is part of why it's also used for tense, overtired little ones who struggle to settle.
• Warmth as a guide: Mag Phos is often chosen when warmth seems to soothe the discomfort \u2014 if your baby settles with a warm tummy compress or when held close against you, this is the tissue salt traditionally suited to that picture.

How to use

Follow the directions on the product label, and don't exceed the stated dosage unless a qualified healthcare professional advises otherwise.

Storage

Protect from sunlight, store below 25 \u00b0C and keep the container tightly closed. Do not use if the seal is broken, and keep out of reach of children.

Best for

Natura Mag Phos D6 Tissue Salts Tablets are an option for parents who:
