What Are Tissue (Cell) Salts?

Schussler’s Tissue Salts (also known as biochemical or cell salts) are potentized micro-doses of the 12 essential minerals your body needs to repair and maintain itself. They are prepared in homeopathic 6X potencies that are gentle enough to be used by the youngest to the eldest member of your family. They can even be used with pets.

History of Tissue Salts

Dr. Wilhelm H. Schuessler, a German physician, biochemist, and homeopath, identified twelve inorganic minerals present in each cell essential for cellular metabolism.

These minerals include forms of calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, silica and sodium. These essential salts act as catalysts for cellular biochemical processes within the human body.

Schuessler proposed that illness, or any symptom, was related to a deficiency in one or more of these twelve major minerals and when a deficiency is corrected normal cellular function, health is restored and symptoms are resolved. Throughout years of research, Schuessler identified that it was the compositions of these minerals which determined cellular function and differentiation. Therefore, it is clear and well-proven that a balance of these twelve bio-salts are a vital component required for healthy cellular activity.

The inorganic (mineral) elements, however, although present in very much smaller quantities, are the really vital elements, the active workers which utilize the inactive substances in building the millions of cells of which the body is composed.

If the blood lacks the necessary quantities of these active, life-giving, inorganic elements then the rebuilding process cannot proceed in a normal manner and this gives rise to a disorder or ailment of the body.

Benefits of Taking Tissue Salts

Taking cell salts has a number of benefits. When you take a cell salt you are supplying your body with the essential micro-nutrients that enable your body to rebuild itself on a cellular level. Because they are prepared homeopathically, tissue salts are much more easily absorbed by our cells than from typical supplements or even our foods.

Lifestyle Tips

I highly recommend taking tissue salts. However, you should take them in conjunction with a healthy diet, exercise program, and lifestyle. Here are my tips:

Drink plenty of filtered water
Eat for your blood type
Avoid GMO foods
Drop grains from your diet
Switch to grass-fed animal products
Cut out toxic vegetable oils
Exercise regularity
Find 10-15 mins a day to deeply breathe with intention
Have a nighttime routine that makes you happy and relaxed
