BIOCHEMIC REMEDIES
Also known as the Tissue remedies or Schussler's tissue salt remedies.
This is a system of medicine evolved by Dr.Schussler in 1873. Schussler was a homeopath who propounded the theory that disease is caused by the insufficiency of organic salts in the tissues/cells of the body and that the supply of these deficient salt(s) cures diseases.
Schussler identified 12 homeopathic medicines as the biochemic remedies. These twelve basic salts are : 
1) Calcarea fluor (Calcium fluoride)
2) Calcium phosphorica (Calcium phosphate)
3) Calcium sulphate
4) Ferrum phosphorica (Iron phosphate)
5) Kali muriaticum (Potassium chloride)
6) Kali phosphorica (Potassium phosphate)
7) Kali sulphurica (Potassium sulphate)
8) Magnesia Phosphorica (Magnesium phosphate)
9) Natrum muriaticum (Sodium chloride)
10) Natrum sulphuricum(Glauber's salt - Sodium sulphate)
11) Natrum phosphoricum (Sodium phosphate) 
12) Silicea.  These medicines given in a low potency 1x,2x,6x,12,x,30x could serve as a healing agent.

BIOCHEMIC REMEDIES
The following table lists out the biochemic remedies. It also points out the indicators for prescription of these medicines - such as the state of the tongue, the discharges, the aggravations (factors worsening the problems) and ameliorations (factors improving / alleviating the problem). This table would be a ready reckoner for practitioners to prescribe.





INDICATORS FOR BIOCHEMIC PRESCRIPTIONS :
The following medicines are generally indicated for the specified problems. It is advisable to start the medicine with low potency (1x / 3x) and proceed to higher potencies (6x,12x,30x and even 200x) in case there is no improvement. However for severe problems, higher potencies may be started off with. Dosage generally is three times a day (4-6 pills at a time), taken dry on the tongue, on an empty stomach. In case of acute problems - the medicine may be taken every 15 minutes or half-an-hour. In case there is no improvement even after 6-7 doses, either change the prescription or consult a competent doctor. (Remember there is no substitute to the materia medica / repertory)
