Tissue Salts are also named Sch\u00fcssler salts because there were introduced by Dr. Wilhem Sch\u00fcssler, a German physician. He theorized that there are 12 mineral salts common to all cells and tissues. For this, he studied human ashes and found 12 minerals remaining in these ashes at distinct levels. Then, he correlated certain mineral deficiencies with patterns of illness.<\/p>\n
Dr Sch\u00fcssler believed that these salts were vital for the regular functioning of the body\u2019s cells and that if the body experienced a deficiency in these substances, it would lead to disease and common health concerns.<\/p>\n
Cells salts are believed to support mineral imbalances in the body, stimulating our body\u2019s innate ability to heal itself.
