Tissue Salts are homeopathic combinations of minerals formulated to relieve symptoms and promote healing. They are a popular and effective treatment for many common ailments. Tissue salts are prepared in a way which makes them rapidly absorbed and easily available for all cells in the body.
In the early nineteenth Century, Doctor W.H. Schuessler, a noted German physiological chemist and physicist, identified 12 "tissue salts" in every human cell.
Because the mineral salts work inside the cells, they are called "cell salts" or "tissue salts". As this is chemistry inside the biological body, they are sometimes called "biochemic cell salts" or "biochemical cell salts".
Dr. Schuessler in his research found that these mineral salts or "Cell Salts"were vital for the regular functioning of the body´s cells. He had concluded further that deficiencies in any of these tissue salts would lead to dysfunction and illness. Consequently, treatment of mineral imbalances in the body by tissue salts must be an essential factor for restoring health. Dr. Schüssler based his therapy on a total of 12 mineral salts, which he called “functional substances”, because they perform essential functions in our body and are suitable for remedying a multitude of functional disorders.
The biochemical therapy is a way of supporting the human body functions with mineral salts which are indispensable for the metabolic processes within the cells. The biochemical therapy makes use of the 12 Tissue Salts. Tissue salts act on the cellular level to balance and restore cell function.
There are multiple therapeutic effects to Dr. Schüssler Salts. They help to harmonize and regulate chemical processes in the cells and also encourage the self-healing powers of the body in a safe and effective way.
