Homeopathic Cell Salt Remedies

Dr. Willam Heinrich Schiessler (1821-1898) was born in Oldenburg Germany. He blieved that the 2000 homeopathic remedies could be simplified. He succeeded in isolating the mineral components which resulted in 12 individual remedies; also known as the Schuessler cell salts.

Dr. Schuessler was influenced by the pioneering work of Dr. Rudolf Virchow. He believed that the the active ingredients in the most successful remedies were inorganic. He concluded that once the human cell is reduced to ashes, there are only 12 minerals left. He suggested that these 12 minerals be taken in homeopathic doses in order to regulate individual cell function. Rather than pore through 2000 plus homeopathic remedies, the 12 individual cell salts can do most of the things the others do. FOR EXAMPLE, One of the most used remedies is Pulsatilla made from the coneflower Pulsatilla. Homeopaths understood that active ingredient in Pulsatilla to be silica – a mineral. Silica is often given in cases where this Pulsatila remedy failed to produce relief.

Cell salts provide micro-nutrients enabling cells to be rebuilt at the cellular level. All homeopathic remedies are prepared in minute doses, allowing them to enter the cells. Only the best grade minerals are used from natural sources to produce cell salts. The first step is to ground minerals by hand which takes at least 200 hours, the finer the particles – the higher the potency. Once the mineral has been ground to a fine powder, it is then transferred to an electronically driven mortar and pestle. Potency is determined by the length of time it is ground in the mortar and pestle. Eventually, the active ingredient is vaporized – the air in the laboratory is now full of the mineral.

When the body is in a disease state, the cell loses its ability to regulate itself. A weakened cell must receive the mineral they need in a titrated form bypassing the digestive system enabling the cell to receive nutrients. In Judaism there is a concept of “zeh leumat zeh” – where there is good there is an equal and opposing amount of evil. `we know that a small amount of poison can destroy cells, on the flip side a small amount of cell salt can heal them.

It is important to note that no amount of cell salts can harm you. Even if you body is not deficient in that particular mineral it will not harm you.

Cell salts come to not only eliminate symptoms but to correct the imbalances that cause the symptoms. the twelve cell salt remedies have the advantage of being simple enough for anyone to use to promote health and wellness.

I personally use cell salts as a way of ensuring that my children’s’ teeth are protected from cavities. Being that i cant control every morsel that enters their mouth cell salts are one of the ways I supplement their diets.
