Cell salt therapy is an alternative treatment, given by a cell salt therapist or homeopath, in which the body’s self-healing capacity is restored after an analysis has shown that there are probably shortages of salts, or minerals, in the cells. Cell salts are very important to maintain optimal health. This was researched and discovered more than a century ago by physician, homeopath and anatomist-pathologist Dr. Schüssler, after whom the cell salts are named.
Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler (1821), founder of cell salt therapy.
In addition to being a physician and homeopath, Dr. Schüssler was also an anatomist-pathologist. It was in the latter position that he discovered, after examining the ashes of cremated deceased persons, that in addition to ashes, salts also remain after the cremation of a body. In fact, you should not speak of salts but of minerals. Our cells contain indispensable minerals in a fixed composition and quantity, so that the body can perform its self-healing function. When deficiencies occur, this self-healing capacity is affected and disease can develop.Dr. During his research, Schüssler discovered that the salt deficiencies in the ashes were related to the disease the deceased had suffered from. This is therefore a very important fact because you can assume that if you can ensure that the amount of required cell salts in the cells remains optimal, you might be able to prevent the development of diseases. Is it true, is it correct? Don’t know. As with many therapies in alternative medicine, there are always pros and cons. But if you think about it a little longer, it actually all makes sense.
The therapy.
Cell salts are freely available to everyone. But thorough knowledge is necessary because in order to determine which cell salts are needed to restore health, you must know which characteristics should be used for the various cell salts. It is not the case that certain symptoms indicate a deficiency of a certain cell salt. The overall impression of the person must be taken into account in order to arrive at a good application/therapy. That is to say: not only the physical state, but also the emotional, mental and energetic state of being. Because our mental state also has a lot to do with our physical health or the development of illness.Cell salts are not homeopathic remedies, although they are related and are often used and prescribed in homeopathy. In any case, the homeopath has a lot of knowledge about symptoms and life experiences of people that can lead to certain complaints.
What exactly are cell salts?
Cell salts are always a combination of two minerals. In fact, they are not salts at all but minerals and always in pairs. The cell salts are extremely important for our cells. The salts must always be present in sufficient quantities and proportions in the cells, but due to various factors (illness, stress, emotional pressure), the level of one or more cell salts can decline. Supplementation would normally take place through our diet if it were not for the fact that the quality of today’s diet has deteriorated significantly over the past century. Due to the use of artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides, refining, food processing, additives, etc., there are far fewer nutrients in vegetables and fruit than in the past, when these products and applications were not yet used. That is why the discharge of cell salts is greater than the supply and therefore shortages can arise.There are a total of 27 different cell salts that can be used. But to find out which deficiencies are occurring, one cannot look at symptoms, as we are used to. This does not work with cell salts. You cannot say I have such and such a symptom, so I have to take such and such cell salt. It doesn’t work that way. A deficiency of a certain cell salt can give all kinds of signs that could just as well indicate something else. That is why it is so important to go to a therapist or homeopath who knows which signals to look out for.
The facial analysis.
The way to determine deficits is often done by means of a facial analysis. A cell salt therapist or homeopath can tell a lot by looking at the person’s face. The texture, color and temperature of the skin already provide clues for him/her. It is also important which complaints the client has and which life experiences the client carries with him. All this ensures that the therapist gets a complete picture of the functioning or dysfunction of the client’s body. Based on this, a therapy can then be proposed, which often consists of taking one or more types of cell salts that can restore the balance in the cells so that health is restored. Because healthy cells are the starting point for good health.Restoring the balance in the cells can take some time because the greater the deficiency, the longer it takes to restore it. As mentioned, the Schüssler cell salts are freely available, but it is better to be guided by a cell salt therapist or homeopath.
Intake of cell salts.
Cell salts can simply be taken in tablet form. But, there is something you have to pay attention to and that is that you have to let these tablets dissolve slowly on the tongue so that the salts can be absorbed into the oral mucosa. This is very important because if you do not do this and swallow or chew the tablets, the cell salts will miss their purpose. Once in the stomach, the minerals break down as a single mineral and are no longer absorbed as intended.

Of course, this article is by no means complete. Sometimes it is good to approach healing from the other side. Namely before disease occurs. my view on
