The Schuessler biochemic cell salts are homeopathically dynamised

mineral salts.
All these mineral salts are found in the tissue of the human body. Therefore these
mineral salts are called "cell salts" or "tissue salts".

The most important cell salts are the wellknown twelve basic cell salts. They were
developed by Dr. Schssler himself.
These 12 basic cell salts are available in a lot of countries worldwide.
His pupils developed additional fifteen cell salts. They were discovered after Dr.
Schuesslers lifetime as a part of the body. These salts are called addiational or
supplement cell salts. Three of these supplement salts came even later than the salts
from 13 to 24 and, hence, are not recognised by all practitioners.
The additional cell salts can't be found everywhere. In some countries (i.e. USA) there
are only few vendors who offer them.

The other mineral salts which are available as so-called additional

cell salts were discovered one after the other by the followers of Dr.
Schuessler.
These additional salts are applied like the basic cell salts, but for special uses.
In the meantime, there are 15 additional cell salts, by which twelve are quite
wellknown especially in Germany.

These twelve cell salts contain, in homeopathically developed form, twelve mineral
salts which were known in Dr. Schsslers lifetime as important components of the
human cells.
The basic cell salts are basically sufficient to treat all kinds of illnesses and health
disorders.
The later developed additional cell salts serve the complementary treatment and
special purposes.
The twelve basic cell salts often are called only with her number, especially in the
home of cell salts, in Germany, therefore it is useful to remember the numbers of the
cell salts.
In Germany and lots of other countries the cell salts have different numbers than in the
USA.
In the United States the cell salt Calcium sulphate is placed at the third place, in the
rest of the world it has the number twelve.
On this website we mainly use the German style numbers. The American number are
placed in brackets as you can see above.
Additional cell salts

The additional cell salts were discovered by pupils of Dr. Schssler. Their areas of
application were tested and developed by these pupils.

Different authors refer to 12 or 15 additional cell salts. Only some authors and
practitioners accept the last three additional cell salts.
They are accepted case by case when her occurence in the human body is proved and
their use as a remedy is recognized.

Principle - how cell salts work

Dr. Schssler, a german doctor of the 19th century, investigated the

causes of illnesses.

He was very interested how the cells of the body could cause diseases.
The scientific work of Dr. Virchow, who discovered that the body is constructed with
millions of cells, impressed and inspired Dr. Schssler strongly.
Dr. Schssler came to the conclusion, that many illnesses would be caused by an
imbalance of the mineral balance in the single cells.
If important mineral substances are absent in the cells, they do not function properly,
what leads then to the illness, was Dr. Schsslers idea.
Because many mineral salts, taken in concentrated form, cannot find their way to the
single cells, Dr. Schssler adapted the idea of the diluting of substances like in the
homoeopathy.
In potented form, so strongly diluted, the mineral salts would be able to find their way
by the digestive canal, by the blood circulation just to the single cells, where they
could be assimilated by the cells.
There they could adjust the inbalance inside the cell and trigger the cell to get bigger
mineral salt amounts from the blood circulation if required, until they are well
supplied again with everything and can function according to her task.
Because the mineral salts work inside the cells, they are called "cell salts" or "tissue
salts". As this is chemistry inside the biological body, they are sometimes called
"biochemic cell salts" or "biochemical cell salts".
The treatment with the cell salts by Dr. Schssler is interpreted differently by his
followers. Some see the cell salts as a stimulation therapy and other as a substiution
method.
Cell salts as a stimulation therapy

Seen as a stimulation therapy, one expects the effect of the cell

salts in such a way that the assimilation of the small quantities of
mineral salt encourages the cells to get enough of the minerals from
other sources.
The cells are being abled to get the required mineral salts in larger quantities from the
food and to assimilate until they contain enough of the needed mineral salts.

This point of view is rather similiar to the homeopathic point of view.

For a stimulation therapy low quantities of the cell salts are enough, for example, two
tablets three times a day.
Cell salts as a substitution therapy

Seen as a substitution therapy the homeopathically diluted mineral

salts should compensate the mineral lack in the cells completely,
without any additional mineral substances from the food or mineral
tablets are needed.
This principle is comparable with the taking of vitamin tablets, which should
compensate also a possible vitamin deficiency.
Because the cell salts are strongly diluted by the potentation, you needs a very big
number of the tablets to be able to compensate a lack.
Therefore the followers of this principle are used to take huge amounds of cell salts,
which can be several hundred tablets per day.
This can be called high-level dosage.
Can Schuessler cell salts cover the mineral needs completely?

From the doctors view it is not possible, to satisfy the bodies need
for minerals only with the potented Schuessler cell salts.
This has several reasons.
Also in the relatively low potency 6X the mineral substances are extremely diluted.
On 1 gramme of mineral salt there comes 1 tonne of lactose.
Nobody can ingest one tonne of lactose, even when the cell salts are used in extremly
high-level dosage.
Nevertheless, from some mineral substances one needs larger amounts, for example,
cooking salt and calcium.

One can take these mineral salts not only by cell salts. Here the cell salts serve rather
to unlock the cells, to be able to get the required mineral substance amount from the
food.
With other mineral salts is not really clear how much one needs of it daily. Even if the
required amounts of these salts were extremely low, one should not have the idea to
cover the need with these mineral salts completely with cell salts.
Cell salts are not comparable with vitamin tablets. They offer no calculable amount in
"mineral salt active substances" to cover the everyday mineral substance need, even if
some authors tell otherwise.
Therefore one should cover everyday mineral substance need with the food.
The cell salts can help, that the required mineral substances can be assimilated by the
cells of the body.
Number instead of name

Because the names of the cell salts are quite complicated, the cell
salts are often simply called by her number, for example, No. 7 for
magnesium phosphoricum.
But when you live in the United States you should be aware, that people in Europe use
different numbers than most people in America.
In Europe the cell salt Calcium sulphate has the number 12, in America it has number
3 and all subsequent cell salts have higher numbers than in Europe.
On this website we use the europeen system of numbers. American numbers are
shown in brackets.
Cell salts and Evidence-based medicine

The modern natural sciences cannot explain the impact of the cell
salts.
The effectiveness of the cell salts could not be proved by scientific studies.
Because the cell salts are free of side effects, nevertheless, one can usually apply them
without problems in addition to a scientific medical treatment.

Nevertheless, the treating doctor should be informed if you use cell salts.
The cell salts are offered in the homeopathically potented dilutions
6X and 12X, sometimes also in 3X.
But what does this potency mean?
Many people know, that the potention has something to do with dilution.
But there is a lot of confusion, when people hear, that the remedies should be stronger,
the more diluted they are.
Homoeopathic Potency

The potented abilities have their origin in the homoeopathy.

Nevertheless, with the Schuessler cell salts the potency are differently used than in the
homoeopathy.
However, first some explanations about homoeopathic potencies.
The homoeopathic potencies are not simply diluted, but the dilution-process occurs
gradually step by step.
On one part of the source substance (active substance) 10 or 100 parts of the dilution
substance (i.e. ethanol or lactose) are used for each step.
The source substance and the liquid dilution substance are shaked for a while until
they are very good combined. If solid insoluble substances are used, they are grinded
with lactose thoroughly.
In the next step the dilution by 10 or 100 is repeated. This goes on again and again.
If the dilution is made with 10 parts in each step, the potency is called with a "X"
behind the number of the steps.
The potency 6X was diluted 6 times with ten parts.
The relation between the source substance and the thinner is 1:1.000.000.
On 1 gramme of source substance comes 1 tonne of thinner (i.e. lactose).

The theory in the homeopathy says, that a remedy is stronger the more it is potented
(diluted).
This theory doesn't fit to the scientific view. It is a subtle mechanism.
Potented cell salts

As the cell salts are a kind of spin-off from the homeopathy, it is

logical, that the cell salts are offered in potetend form as well.
The reason why the cell salts are potetend is, nevertheless, another than in the
homoeopathy.
To be able to understand the basic idea of Dr. Schssler, one should know that Dr.
Schssler worked on the base of the scientific knowledge of his time. His theory is
based on a scientifically oriented modell of the past.
Therefore it was no esoteric concept, what was developed by Dr. Schssler, but a
remedial method which is founded on modern and academically of the 19th century.
In the meantime, the natural sciences are much further than at that time, and, hence,
some ideas of Dr. Schssler have turned out not to be academically correct.
Nevertheless, this does no harm to the effectiveness of his remedial method.
Nowadays only the explanation, why the cell salts help, must be discovered again.
An essential basic idea for the cell salt concept is the knowledge, that mineral salts are
strongly changed by the digestive canal chemically. In this changed form they often
can't be taken up by the body in sufficient amounts.
Therefore there may be a lack of minerals in the body cells, in spite of sufficient
mineral salts come by the food.
How is it possible, that the mineral salts can reach all the body cells?
The idea of Dr. Schssler was, that by potenting a mineral salt, it can be split so far,
that every single molecule is standing alone, surrounded completely by the thinner.
Thereby it should be possible,k that the mineral salts are taken up by the epithelium
cells of the oral mucosa to reach from there directly to the blood stream and to the
body cells. The digestive systeme ist ommited by this way of intaking.

Nowadays one knows, that it is not possible to split the salts down to molecule size.
But the cell salts are still taken up by the oral mucosa and are delivered directly to the
blood stream.
It is not at all necessary that the mineral salts are given as single molecules. It is
enough that they have been split in tiny small servings.
Standard potencies of the cell salts

The cell salts are usually used in low potencies of the X row.
The current potencies of the cell salts are: 3X, 6X and 12X.
Dr. Schssler himself used preferentially the power of 6X.
Sometimes one can read that Dr. Schssler advised to use always at least the potency
6X with water-dissolvable source substances.
With the substances which are not water-dissolvable one should use the potency 12X.
From this idea the standard potencies are developed.
The standard potencies are the typical potencies in which the cell salts are mostly
offered.
These are the standard potencies of the basic cell salts:
No. 1. Calcium fluoride 12X
No. 2. Calcium phosphate 6X
No. 3. (4) Iron phosphate 12X
No. 4. (5) Potassium chloride 6X
No. 5. (6) Potassium phosphate 6X
No. 6. (7) Potassium sulphate 6X
No. 7. (8) Magnesium phosphate 6X

 No. 8. (9) Sodium chloride 6X

No. 9. (10) Sodium phosphate 6X
No. 10. (11) Sodium sulphate 6X
No. 11. (12) Silica 12X
No. 12. (3) Calcium sulphate 6X
Nevertheless, according to other sources Dr. Schssler advises also
lower potencies.
In his main work he writes:
"All materials indissoluble in water must be brought to at least on the sixth step of the
decimale thinner scale; in water to dissolvable ones can also penetrate the mentioned
epithelium cells in lower dilutions."
12X

The potency 12X becomes, as already mentioned, applied as a

standard potency with the mineral salts which are not dissolvable in
water.
These are the following salts:
No. 1. Calcium fluoride 12X
No. 3. (4) Iron phosphate 12X
No. 11. (12) Silica 12X
Also the additional cell salts are mostly used in the potency X12.
Moreover, there is another concept on how to deside which potency to use. This is
based on the kind of disease that should be treated by the cell salts.
For this you can remember:
For chronic diseases and diseases of the psyche the power 12X is suitable very
well.

6X

The potency X6 is the most used potency of the Schuessler cell

salts.
It is the standard potency for 9 of the 12 cell salts.
These nine salts are all water-dissolvable salts.
In view of the treated diseases you can remember:
For acute diseases the potency X6 fits well.
3X

Though the potency 3X does not belong to the standard potencies of

the cell salts, it is still applied for different reasons.
For the potency 3X one should consider that it is relatively material, i.e. 1 gramme of
mineral salt is included in 1 kilogramme 3X to cell salts.
With harmless salts, as for example No. 8 (9) Sodium chloride (cooking salt), the
power 3X also is still a strong thinner.
But with the salts which are toxic in large quantities one must be absolutely careful by
the use of the potency 3X.
For example, the cell salt No. 4 (5) Potassium chloride one should apply in the
potency 3X not in large quantities. Otherwise, sensitive people could get absolutely
unspecific side effects.
The following reasons and occasions speak for application of the cell salts in the
potency 3X:
Very acute illnesses:
If an illness is very acute, the potency 3X can be sometimes
very helpful.
Bath:
With a bath one needs a lot of cell salts. By use of the potency
3X the amount of the required tablets can be considerably

reduced. In 3X 1 to 10 tablets are already enough for a proper

bath.
Substitution therapy:
If one wants to use the cell salts as a substitution therapy for
the cover of the mineral substance need, the power 3X is
suited. This is interesting above all when one does not want to
suck hundreds of tablets daily, what is necessary with highlevel dosage in 6X and 12X. More infos: Substitution therapy
and mineral substance need cover.
Schuesslers cell salts for horses:
Because horses are so big, they also need a lot of cell salts. In
the power 3X one can reduce the number of the given tablets.
Active substance amount and dosage

Official recommendations to the dosage of the cell salts doesn't

make any difference between the potencies.
If one sees the cell salt tablets as a bearer of "active substances", this may seem
illogical. Since the higher the potency, the less "active substance" is included in the
tablets.
Nevertheless, the cell salts are not comparable with vitamin tablets or medical drugs
with which one takes a certain active substance amount to cover an agreed and known
need.
Though the idea that one can cover his mineral substance need only with cell salts is
represented by several enthusiasts, but it is without scientific and computational bases
see: Mineral substance need cover).
Only in the potency 3X one can assume appreciable active substance amounts. With
this potency one should consider the "materiality" of the preparation with the dosage.
With the potencies 6X and 12X the impact is rather fine-etheric.
Hence, the same dosage is recommended, regardless of the potency.
The recommended dosage depends rather on the respective doctrine which clings to
the treating cell salt specialist.

The daily dosage sways from 1 tablet per day up to more than 100 tablets per day.
How to use cell salts?
Tablets / pastilles

Schuessler cell salts are offered as tablets (pastilles).

These tablets consist od lactose and mineral salts in homeopathically potented form
(see: Schuessler Cell Salts: Potency).
Globuli (liquid-coated sucrose pellets) and liquids

People who react allergic on lactose can use the cell salts as globuli
or liquids.
Only view vendors offer cell salts as globuli oder in liquid form.
You have to ask for the homeopathic remedy with the same name. I. e. Calcium
fluoride 12X as homeopathic globuli cann be used as Schuessler cell salt.
From the Globuli one takes 5 Globuli for every tablet which is given in use
instructions.
From the liquid drops one takes 5 drops for every tablet which is given in use
instructions.
Normal use

The normal use of the cell salts is

3 to 6 times daily: 1 to 2 tablets
The tablets are put successively in the mouth and are slowly sucked.
In acute cases one takes a tablet every 5 minutes, until the condition is better, but not
more thean a whole day.
After this high intake one switches to the normal dose.
Several salts

If one wants to take several different salts, one takes three times a
day one tablet of every salt.

You can decide yourself, wether you want to take only one cell salt at a time or several
cell salts together.
Some cell salt enthusiasts take always many different salts, others take maximum
three different salts within one day and others prefer only one single salt at the same
time.
The choice of single or several salts depends on which fits best in the actual situation.
Children

Children take every one to two hours a tablet when in acute

discomfort.
As soon as the condition gets better, they take
3 to 4 times daily one tablet
High dosage

If one uses the cell salts as a substitution therapy, one can take the
tablets also highly measured.
In this case some users take one tablet every minute.
This can result in more than 100 tablets a day.
Dissolve in the mouth = Dry method

It is important, that the cell salts are assimailated by the oral

mucosa, directly into the blood stream.
Therefore you should let them dissolve in the mouth.
The lactose oft the tablets dissolve quite fast and it tastes a little bit sweet.
Most people, especially kids, like the mild and sweet taste of the tablets.
Best of all one takes them half an hour before food.
One can take them, however, also after or between the meals.

After the intaking of the tablets it is best to drink one glass of fresh water, so that the
body has enough water to be able to detoxify.
Water trinking method

You can also use the cell salts in water.

For this purpose you can dissolve your daily dosage in a bottle of drinking water.
Drink from this bottle all day through in small sips.
This method may work also for people who have problems with lactose, because the
cell salts are diluted in water.
Hint for diabetics

Because the tablets of the cell salts contain lactose, diabetics must
consider them with her calculation of the bread units.
50 tablets correspond to 1 bread unit

Schuessler Cell Salts: Hot drink

If you need a strong push of cell salts, maybe because of acute

pains or something similiar, you can prepare a hot drink.

This hot drink method is often used with the cell salt Magnesium phosphate
(No. 7 or 8).
In Germany the hot drink method ist therefore called the "Hot Seven".
But you can use the hot drink method with all cell salts. You can even mix
several cell salts to prepare a hot drink.

How to prepare a hot drink?

Put up to 10 tablets in a cup.

Pour hot water in the cup.

Wait until the tablets resolve.

Drink the hot drink in small sips.

Schuessler Cell Salts: External use

The cell salts can be used externally as balm, ointments, cream, gel,
bath or compress.
If your are lucky, you can find a vendor who offers ready made balms of the cell salts.
But in many countries you need to mix balms or creams yourself, which is quite
simple.
For external use you can use the cell salts in the potency 3X or in the standard
potencies.
Preparation of a cell salts cream

To prepare your own cell salts cream is quite simple.

Here is how to do it:
Dissolve 3 to 6 tablets of your chosen cell salt with a tiny bit of
water (several drops only). You get a tablet mash.
Take about one ounce of your favorite cream. It is most easy if
the cream consists of a certain amount of water. That allows
the cream to incorporate more watery substance.
Mix the tablet mash with the cream.
Use of balms and creams

One can apply the creams several times a day.

Just apply the cream on the area that needs treatment.
If the treated area allows it, you can give a little massage while applying the cream.
If several ointments seem suitable, one can apply them alternately. Use one cream at
one time and use the other cream the next time.
Cream-Compress

You can also use a cream of the cell salts as a compress.

The use of a compress is a rather intense method of use.
Put some cream on a clean cotton cloth.

 Put the cloth with the cream on the area whioch needs
treatment.
Wrap the cloth with a dressing to fix it.
Leave the compress for several hours or overnight.
Remove the compress and rub the rest of the cream softly,
until it is assimilated by the skin.
You can repeat this treatment if it is needed.
Tablet mash

You can also use the cell salts as a tablet mash, if you don't want to
use a greasy cream on the skin.
Dissolve 3 or more tablets of your chosen cell salt with a tiny
bit of water (several drops only).
You get a tablet mash.
Apply the tablet mash on the skin area that needs treatment.
You can fix the mash with a compress and/or a dressing if
needed.
Small areas (i.e. insect bites) can be left without dressing.
Leave the mash for several hours or overnight.
Remove the mash and wash the skin until the mash is washed
away.
You can repeat this treatment if it is needed.

Schuessler Cell Salts: Facial diagnosis

One possibility to determine the right cell salts is to look for certain
signs in the face.
This approach is called "face analysis" or "facial diagnosis".
The facial diagnosis is based on the idea, that the absence of certain minerals develops
certain signs on the face, as for example the colouring of the face or the state and the
vigour of the skin.
Kurt Hickethier, the developer of the face analysis

The face analysis was discovered by Dr. Schssler and was

developed by one of his followers: Kurt Hickethier.
Kurt Hickethier led a sanitarium in Ellrich in the Harz (Germany).
He wrote a book about the face analysis which is the standard work to the face
analysis even today.
Hickethier thought the facial diagnosis is the best method to recognize an illness and
the needed cell salts.
This contradicted even then the prevailing doctrine and also does not fit to the today's
image of a diagnosis, because "diagnosis" is used in the modern usage to recognise a
certain illness and to name.
To avoid conflicts with the usual usage of the word "diagnosis", nowadays one often
speaks of "face analysis".
Nevertheless, the analysis of the face plays the most important role for the
identification of the suitable mineral salts.
In the following list you can find the most important signs in the face to the respective
mineral salts.

Schuessler Cell Salts: Biography of Dr. Schuessler

Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schssler lived from 1821 to 1898.

He was born on 21st of August, 1821 in Bad Zwischenahn (Germany) and died on
30th of March, 1898 near Oldenburg where he spent many years of his life.
Dr. Schssler studied in Paris, Berlin, Giessen and Prague and did a doctorate in
Giessen in the medicine.
First Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schssler was active as a homoeopathic doctor for fifteen
years.
The discoveries of Dr. Virchow who discovered the cells of the human body
fascinated Dr. Schssler, in such a way, that he began to do research in the base of the
cell knowledge for the causes of illness and their treatment.
Dr. Schssler laid his main focus on mineral salts and trace elements.
Bit by bit he discovered twelve mineral salts which are very important for the
functioning of the human body.
Dr. Schssler found out where these mineral substances exists in the human body.
On the base of this mineral substance apprenticeship Dr. Schssler developed a
method to process the mineral salts homeopathically, that they can be assimilated by
the body especially well.
Nevertheless, according to Dr. Schssler his new method clearly differs from the
homoeopathy because with his mineral substance treatment the Simile principle is not
applied what is so vital for the homoeopathy (Simile principle: The similar is cured by
similar).
Dr. Schssler called his method of treatment "biochemistry", because the chemical
connections of the human biology are considered. In english the healing method is
often called biochemic cell salts.
Soon the new healing method of Dr. Schssler found eager followers and the number
of his patients grew very fast.
Year after year thousands of patients wanted to receive his help.
Nowadays the biochemistry by Dr. Schssler has lost nothing in actuality.

Above all in view of the wish for a gentle medicine the cell salts after Dr. Schssler
become more and more popular.

Also the bones and parts of the skin and blood vessels belong to the connective, which
is why Calcium fluoride can be used for all problems of these tissues.
This explains the varied application areas of Calcium fluoride.

As a rule of thumb one can think of Calcium fluoride always then when it is about the
elasticity of the tissue.
Everywhere where tissue hardens, one can check whether Calcium fluoride is suitable.
One can take Calcium fluoride internally and apply in addition as an ointment.
As a mineral is known Calcium fluoride as a fluorspar.
In the nature fluorspar seems mostly dirtied and, hence, colorfully.
Typically the colours are green, yellow, blue and violet for fluorspar.

This is the case for fresh injuries, but also in the first phase of an infective illnesses or
inflammations of the internal organs, as for example gastritis.
Typically for Iron phosphate is a quick beginning, a certain redness, swell and pain.
After bleeding Iron phosphate can help to rebuild new blood.
In most cases the diseases that fit for Iron phosphate are very acute und often serious.
Therefore it is important to see a doctor if such health problems occur.
For example, you can treat a harmless cold by yourself, but if one suddenly gets high
fever and does not know why, one should visit a doctor.
As Iron phosphate is very good to treat injuries this cell salt is often used as a cream
for external uses. You can use the cream or balm against light sports injuries and
leisure injuries.
In former times the chemical substance Iron phosphate was used as blue colouring in
the art. The board painting in the Middle Ages used Iron phosphate often as a socalled iron blue.

Then the inflammations are not bright red any more, but, however, often whitish,
tough mucus from, for example, as a cold or cough sputum.
Such inflammations can happen everywhere in the body, hence, Potassium chloride is
the right choice for many kinds of inflammations.
Except the inflammations Potassium chloride can also help against ravenous hunger,
above all if this ravenous hunger is relieved by the drinking of water.
Also against undesirable results of vaccinations or drug taking one can try Potassium
chloride.
Externally Potassium chloride can help against telangiectasias and coupe rose.

One can use an ointment with Potassium chloride and take also potassium chloratum
tablets.
The digestion of milk products and taking of strong electromagnetic radiation raise the
need in Potassium chloride.
Potassium chloride is included not only in all cells of the body. It is also used for
variously very different purposes.
In the medicine it is used in wateredly for physiological solutions, in the kitchen as a
taste amplifier. The agriculture uses it as a fertilizer, in winter it serves as a litter salt.
So much gratifying use potassium chloride has, it is used on the other side also for
killing: As a poison syringe with the capital punishment, for the abortion and even as a
murder poison, well-known from numerous crime films.
Thus potassium chloride shows once more quite clearly that it is only the dose which
makes a substance the poison or the remedy.

Another typical operational area of calcium sulphate is his ability to relieve
suppurating processes. Calcium sulphate suitable remedy is thereby against
suppurating angina, sinusitis and suppurating bronchitis.
Also against boil and other abscesses one can use calcium sulphate. The effect against
boil is strengthened by the use of calcium sulphate as an ointment.
Calcium sulphate is the last of the basic cell salts in Europe but in America it has the
number three. Therefore the european and american numbers are different.
