Schuessler Tissue Salts

The concept of Biochemic Salts, also known as tissue salts, were developed by Dr William H. Schuessler, a German physician, in the late 1800's.  He recognized that the twelve of the inorganic salts found in us have specific physiologic functions.  He maintained that these tissue salts or ‘cell salts’ are vital mineral constituents of the body. They combine with organic substances in the body to produce and maintain the infinite number of cells and tissues of which the human body is composed. Thus, any cell salt deficiency or imbalance may result in an illness and manifestations of a set of symptoms in body. Dr. Schuessler found that if the body was lacking in any of these salts, loss of health occurred. And if this deficiency was corrected with homeopathically (micro-doses) preparation of these salts, the body could in fact, heal itself.
