What are cell salts
The cells of our body are mostly made up of water. They also contain small amounts of organic and inorganic material. Properly nourished cells provide us with the building blocks of health. Cell salt therapy attempts to restore the proper balance of the inorganic salts in the cells by providing 12 essential salts that occur in human cells. Cell salts are also known as Schuessler cell salts for the name of the doctor who first used them.
In 1872, Dr. Wilhelm Schuessler , a homeopathic physician, started prescribing these 12 essential salts to his patients. He believed illness was often related to a lack of one or more of these salts and supplementing the salts to the patient would lead to healing.
Dr. Schuessler thought that giving the mineral salts in large amounts could destroy the function of healthy cells; therefore, he chose to dilute the salts to a 6x (diluted) homeopathic potency. The cell salt powder or pellets would be taken under the tongue and enter the blood stream through the small capillaries in the mouth.
Critics of homeopathy point out that diluted remedies contain practically no biochemical material from the original substance. Dr. Schuessler proposed that the action of the diluted cell salt remedies was as a catalyst to help the body metabolize the salts and to activate biochemical reactions.
