Dr. W.H. Schuessler was a Doctor of Medicine, a physiological chemist, physicist and practicing physician during the mid to late 19th century.

“The Relief of human suffering is a noble cause and those who labour in this cause are truly deserving of the gratitude of their fellows.”

Dr. W.H. Schuessler

Cell salts, tissue salts and mineral salts are all names used to describe the twelve Biochemic Remedies of Dr. W.H. Schuessler.

Dr. Schuessler invented these remedies based on his own theory of  Biochemic Medicine.

Simply put, Schuessler’s Biochemic Theory integrates the knowledge of the human body’s cellular structure and the use of mineral salts, or cell salts as a system of medicine to fortify and energize the cells.

The foundation of Schuessler’s theory is based on the scientific understanding that the human body is made of an enormous number of microscopic, living cells.

Each cell is made up of three classes of materials:

• •Water

• Organic Matter (I.e. sugars & fats)

• Inorganic Matter (Minerals)

• Even though water and organic matter make up a greater portion of living cells, inorganic matter is vitally important.

Since the life of living cells is relatively short, the creation of new cells depends on the presence of minerals.

Mineral deficiencies will inhibit the proper functioning of living cells.

A shortage of one or more of these minerals may cause illness:

Deficiencies may be caused by:

Injuries

Exposure to Toxic Elements

Poor Nutrition

Stress

Over-exertion

Acute & Chronic Illness

Schuessler devised a system of “cellular therapeutics” he called “Biochemistry” to prevent and address ailments caused by mineral imbalances.

He utilized homeopathic doses of minerals in order to penetrate and fortify living cells with vital nutritional elements.

This unique system of medicine incorporates the use of 12 primary “Cell Salts”

The 12 Cell Salts are made from the natural medicine compounds that combine with water and organic matter to compose the cells and tissues of our bodies

As Schuessler himself said: “The twelve inorganic (mineral) salts are all essential  to the proper growth and development of every part of the system.”

Because they are prepared “homeopathically” they are perfectly safe at any dosage, yet can often restore an imbalance faster and often more effectively than a supplement.
