Healing with Cell Salts
Don’t cell yourself short!
Doctor W. H. Schuessler an early nineteenth Century physiological chemist and physicist identified 12 “tissue salts” in every human cell.
These tissue salts or “cell salts” are vital mineral constituents of the body. By combining with organic substances in the body they produce and maintain the health of the human tissue cells. Deficiency or imbalances of these cell salts could result in illness.
Dr Schuessler noted that lacking in any of these salts, a loss of health occurred and once the deficiency or imbalance was corrected the body could heal itself.
It is important to note that the “Schuessler’s Bio
chemic cell salts” are not drugs, but valuable micro dose
cell foods prepared homeopathically. This form ensures rapid and
easy assimilation, for the speedy restoration of the natural balance
of the body system.

| 7.Kali Sulph. | Skin ailments, disorders of the scalp, hair, nails and mucous membranes. Catarrh with sticky discharge. |
Selecting the Remedy and Directions
The key to success in using the Schuessler therapy is the accurate linking of the symptoms with the appropriate tissue-salt. Symptoms are significant pointers to the tissue-salt needed in any given case. Each of the tissue-salts has its own distinct symptoms ‘picture’, i.e., the spasm, cramps and neuralgias of Mag Phos., acidity which points to Nat Phos., excess dryness or watery discharges which call for Nat Mur. And so on.
Directions
Definitions: ‘Acute’ means of sudden onset and short
duration.
‘Chronic’ means of long continuance, lingering.
A ‘chronic’ ailment may have ‘acute’ phases
and for such phases the directions for acute conditions will apply.
Dose
In general, an adult dose is four tablets, children two tablets.
The tablets could be dissolved on the tongue, or in the case of
very young children, may be given dissolved in a little warm water.
Frequency of Dose
In chronic cases, three doses daily will suffice, but for acute
conditions, a dose should be taken every half hour until relief
is obtained; thereafter the frequency of dose should be gradually
reduced to three times daily.
