Developed by the German physician Wilhelm Schuessler in the 19th century, cell salts are homeopathic remedies that help regulate mineral levels in the body’s cells. By helping to regulate the mineral levels in cells, these salts can support the body’s health and healing processes. Because they can be absorbed directly into body tissue, cell salts are often referred to as tissue salts.
From his research, Dr. Schuessler discovered 12 primary cell salts that perform essential functions in the body. His theory was that if a person is deficient in one or more of these salts, administering the appropriate cell salt remedy would restore the mineral balance in the body.
