A basic understanding of Schuesslers Tissue Salt Theory is:
- The human body contains twelve essential mineral (tissue) salts; and a correct balance of which must be maintained in order to ensure normal cell function and the maintenance of good health
- With any imbalance, the situation that develops is called "illness" or "dis-ease"
- A normal balance of the twelve essential mineral (tissue) salts can be re-established with the administration of the deficient mineral in a readily assimilated form, which passes rapidly into the bloodstream and therefore into the cells
He clinically tested his theory on his own patients with excellent results. In the process of his clinical practice/research he devised and refined a simple but effective method of therapy. He researched the role and function of each tissue salt within the body. From this he was able to define what type of physical disorder a disturbance or deficiency of each of the Tissue Salts would cause.
This system of "biochemic medicine" has been "clinically proven" for over two hundred years - since the beginnings of modern homeopathic medicine. Schuessler’s simple system of cure, using combinations of the 12 Tissue Salts makes it possible for any individual to treat themselves ,
