Assisting holistic healing with biochemic tissue-salts

Prashant Shivanand Shah

Abstract
In 1873, Dr. Schuessler (a German homoeopath) analysed the ash content of human cells and identified
the presence of 12 inorganic tissue salts. He believed that there is a biochemical basis to cellular health
and that vitality of the body organs is maintained by a balance of these twelve salts. Whenever there is a
deficiency of any of these inorganic salts in the body tissues, certain typical symptoms are found to arise. So,
when you observe these symptoms in a person, all you have to do is to supply the deficient salt in a potentised
form (6X). It will stimulate the vital force, which resume the healing. When you manage the symptoms of a
healing crisis or an acute/chronic disease with these biochemic tissue-salts, you don’t suppress symptoms.
You merely use the symptoms to diagnose the appropriate biochemic remedy that must be applied.
