Biochemic Cell Salts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cell salts were first identified by Dr. Willhelm Heinrich Schuessler (1821-1898) who noted 12 different tissue salts in all healthy human cells.)According to Dr. Schuessler, cell salts are important mineral constitiuents that are present in human cells.
He also stated that if an imbalance were to occur sickness may follow. Each one of the 12 salts has a cetain duty and a deficiency in any one will produce symptoms.
- Calcium fluoride
- Calcium phosphate
- Calcium sulphate,
- Potassium chloride
- Potassium phosphate
- Potassium sulphate
- Sodium phosphate
- Sodium sulphate
- Sodium chloride
- Ferrum phosphate
- Magnesia phosphate
- Silic Oxide
The combination of all 12 in one formula is called by its non-trade name Bioplasma
Dr. Schuessler believed that the balance of these twelve mineral salts could be restored by ingesting "cell salts" in a bioavailable form. He claimed that these minerals needed not so much to be "replaced" as the cells needed to be prompted by the cell salts to restore balance of the essential components.
His studies began as the investigation of cremated bodies during which he discovered that the twelve substances accounted for the majority of what remained. Cell salts are generally considered a homeopathic remedy. Some people may consider any beneficial effects to be the result of placebo effects.
