The gentle force with the strong effect: often people with chronic conditions have to cope with side effects of medication. Schüßler salts can relieve the organism. Because they provide important minerals, they bring the body into balance.
What are Schüßler salts?
Schuessler salts can relieve the organism. They provide important minerals and bring the body into balance. Their name Schüßler salts goes back to the Oldenburg physician Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler (1821 to 1898). Dr. Schüßler was convinced that disturbances in the mineral balance can have devastating effects in the organism. He identified 12 healing minerals, on the basis of which he founded the new treatment method “biochemistry”. 12 ointments and 12 supplements were added after Dr. Schüßler’s death. Thereby applies to all dosage forms: Schüssler salts regulate the mineral balance and correct dysfunctions in the body cells. The overall well-being and beauty also benefit from the Schuessler salts. Overweight, thin hair, pale skin and brittle fingernails are alarm signals of the body. They signal that the cell metabolism is not functioning properly. People complain of discomfort even though they consume minerals and trace elements to the usual extent. It should then be assumed that the ingested salts cannot be absorbed completely and appropriately. This is where the Schüssler salts come in.
Medical application, effect and use
Schuessler salts open floodgates in the cell membranes, activate the mineral salts present and thus ensure that the dysfunctions are repaired. At the same time, they help the entire organism to effectively utilize minerals from the diet. The special processing of the Schüßler salts is crucial to be able to set the healing impulses in the cell, at the cell membrane as well as in the intercellular spaces. Through potentization, the gradual rubbing and dilution of the active ingredients, the effectiveness can be increased with increasing digestion. This dilution has the goal of not disturbing healthy cells in their natural functions, but at the same time to compensate for dysfunctions in the long term. Common Schüßler potencies are D3, D6 and D12 (D = decimal potency). For example, to prepare a D6 potency, one part salt is rubbed six times in succession with nine parts lactose. D12 correspondingly twelve times. Now the D6 remedy contains one millionth, the D12 one trillionth of the original substance. This is the only way to ensure effectiveness at the cellular level. Orthodox physicians partly doubt these effects. Scientific studies, for example at the University of Genoa with regard to osteoporosis or Japanese studies on wound healing, prove the findings of Dr. Schüßler. Also according to the findings of the biophysicist Peter Ferreira, Schüßler was far ahead of his time: Only crushed mineral salts can pass through the cell membrane. Each of the twelve Schüßler salts has a special function:
No. 1 Calcium fluoratum is the salt with a supporting function, for stable joints and elastic tissue. No. 2 Calcium phosphoricum has a growth-promoting and strengthening effect, the salt for strong bones. No. 3 Ferrum phosphoricum brings strength to the immune system. No. 4 Kalium chloratum: The metabolism guardian ensures healthy mucous membranes. No. 5 Kalium phosphoricum: Take it easy! The salt against nervousness and exhaustion. No. 6 Kalium sulfuricum: The detoxifying salt frees from ballast and repairs damage to the skin and nails. No. 7 Magnesium phosphoricum is the pain stopper. No. 8 Natrium chloratum: This salt gently regulates the moisture balance. No. 9 Natrium phosphoricum deacidifies and is the salt for healthy metabolism. No. 10 Natrium sulfuricum: The elimination agent among the mineral salts takes care of internal cleansing. No. 11 Silicea: Anti-aging desired? This is Dr. Schüßler’s beauty remedy. No. 12 Calcium sulfuricum is the cleansing and regenerating agent. Those who have already had experience with the basic salts can also use the ointments and the complementary salts No. 13 to 24. The application possibilities of the Schüssler salts available without prescription in pharmacies are almost unlimited.
Risks and side effects
Side effects and interactions of Schuessler salts are not known. Anyone who drinks 2 to 3 liters of non-carbonated water daily, ensures that the Schuessler salts reach their place of action. It is advisable to take a break after every eight weeks, so the effectiveness remains constant.The tablets are dissolved in the mouth after eating. The finely broken down salt molecules enter the bloodstream and the body’s cells through the oral mucosa. In acute stages of illness, the salts can also be used hot: Dissolve 10 tablets in hot water and drink the solution warm in small sips. Schuessler salts are a useful supplement to a balanced diet, which contains all vitamins and minerals. They cannot and should not replace medical diagnoses and prescriptions.
