Cell salts

Dr. Schuessler (1821-1898), founder of Cell Salts, discovered that the body consists of 12 mineral salts, called Cell Salts or Tissue salts. Cell Salts regulate the nutrient supply in cells and thus stimulate the self-healing mechanism of the body. Each organ and body part is made of different tissues and therefore of different Cell Salts or rations of Cell Salts. If the cell harmony is disturbed one feels unwell, body symptoms show up and diseases develop; Whether sensitive's can appear and restless nights. People may get irritated and tense. Many everyday complaints can be alleviated sustainably or do not occur at all using Cell Salts.
