New to Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that was developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. The practice is based on the principle of “like cures like,” meaning that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat those same symptoms in a sick person. Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances, such as plants and minerals, and are highly diluted to avoid toxicity.

What Are Cell Salts?

Cell salts, also known as tissue salts or mineral salts, are a group of 12 minerals that are found naturally in the body’s cells. They are essential for maintaining good health and are involved in various bodily functions, such as metabolism, nerve function, and bone development.

According to homeopathic principles, when the body is deficient in a certain cell salt, it can lead to various health issues. By taking the corresponding cell salt, the body can restore its balance and heal naturally.

History of the 12 Cell Salts

These salt preparations were first identified by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler, a German physician, in the late 19th century. Dr. Schuessler believed that imbalances in the body’s mineral content could lead to disease and developed a system for using cell salts to treat various health issues.

The 12 salts are divided into three groups of four, based on their mineral composition and function in the body. Each cell salt has a unique set of symptoms and uses, making them a versatile support option.
