Healing Through Schuessler Tissue Salts

Although scientifically unverifiable, Schuessler tissue salts are widely used to help cure diseases or imbalances in the human body. Schuessler salts have been divided into 12 main types, and 15 minor types, each with specific properties.

The physician Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler developed this method in the late 19th century. He discovered that minerals are as important to the body as oxygen, and an imbalance in certain minerals is one of the causes of disease. He then went on to isolate the 12 main minerals that the body requires and classified them by primary function.

There are two main schools of thought on how the Schuessler tissue salts work, but the primary belief is that the tissue salts act as a stimulation therapy rather than a substition therepy. Dosages are so diluted (a typical 6X dose means that one gramme of mineral salt is contained in one tonne of pills) that actually consuming the pills does not supply the body with sufficient minerals but instead passes a message into the blood stream and directly into the cells. This then awakens the cell to the fact that it is lacking the particular mineral and lets it absorb more to balance itself out.

The substitution therapy believers feel that taking sufficient quantities of a particular type of Schuessler salt in higher dosages should be able to provide the body with its basic mineral requirement.

Schuessler salts and homeopathy both operate on the same principles, but whereas homeopathy has thousands of different remedies, the Schuessler salts are well documented and categorised into distinctive groups making it much easier to quickly identify your remedy based on symptoms. Several good books on the subject provide histories of the various maladies and their cures, along with tabulated references based on symptoms. See the references on our website for more information.

The great thing about healing yourself with Schuessler biochemic salts is that you can't really go wrong – the quantities are so diluted that there's no risk of overdosing, but if you do get the right remedy your body can start its recovery process more easily. You can use tissue salts along with any ongoing treatment, be it allopathic or ayurvedic without any risks.

The purpose of this article is not to go into a detailed description of the various salts and their uses but to show that this alternative therapy method should be taken seriously and could assist or even in some cases replace other methods of treatment.

The twelve salts described by Schuessler, together with the abbreviated names under which they are sold, are:
