Did you know Schuessler cell salts, also called tissue salts, include the 12 most essential minerals found in our body and are involved in the healthy functioning of all our core organs and body systems?
The set of 12 natural remedies was discovered about 150 years ago and comes highly recommended by alternative and complementary health practitioners around the world today. By supporting the body’s mineral balance on a cellular level, Schuessler tissue salts help with a multitude of everyday health concerns, increased energy, less stress and anxiety, and more. Find out how!
The 12 Cell Salts by Dr. Schuessler
The 12 cell salts — also known as Schuessler salts, tissue salts, or mineral salts — were first identified by German physician Dr. Wilhelm H. Schuessler (1821-1898) who studied ash residue of human cells and discovered that human cells contain 12 mineral salts that are key to our health.
Every organ in the body is composed of cells, and healthy cells are the foundation of our well-being. Cell salts include forms of calcium, potassium, sodium, iron, magnesium, silica, chloride, phosphate, and sulfate — also known as electrolytes — all necessary for optimal health and ease.
Many of the health problems we experience can occur because our body is deprived of one or more of the minerals contained in the tissue salts. The use of tissues salts helps to rebuild organ and tissue health and works to balance your body while helping you feel more naturally well and energized.
A Popular & Safe Wellness System
The cell salts are a popular and safe wellness system worldwide. Prepared as micro doses and absorbed by your mucous membranes — not your digestive system, they are gentle yet effective, and their benefits are quickly available to the body. This is why they come recommended by natural health practitioners and are loved by home prescribers.
At HomeopathyStore, we offer the 12 cell salts as liquid oral sprays. Our high-quality AnnaKare oral sprays are LACTOSE FREE, SUGAR FREE, GLUTEN FREE, AND VEGAN. They contain only the minerals, pure water, and organic ethanol and are made here in the U.S.
The Benefits of Cell Salts
The cell salts can be grouped in 4 segments: 1) 3 Calcium salts, 2) 3 Potassium salts, 3) 3 Sodium salts, and 4) Iron, Magnesium, and Silica. They support — and this is only a compressed list of benefits — healthy bones, teeth, and veins; mucous membranes, nerves, energy, and sleep. They are beneficial to the digestive system, pancreas, kidneys, and establish water-electrolyte balance within the body. Cell salts nourish the blood, muscles, skin, hair, and nails.
Below is a more detailed list, but it is important to know that the benefits of the 12 cell salts go even further.
The Calcium Cell Salts
Cell Salt Calcarea Fluorica, short Calc Fluor and also called Calcium Fluoride in English, is recommended for thinning and injured bones, dental caries and sensitive teeth, wrinkles and fine lines on your skin, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. Also for the development of healthy bones and teeth in children. Prepared as a micro dose like a homeopathic remedy, the healing properties of fluoride in Calc Fluor are safe, gentle, and effective.
Cell Salt Calcarea Phoshporica, short Calc Phos and also called Calcium Phosphate in English, is a must-have cell salt for all ages. It supports the absorption of nutrients from food and fights vitamin D deficiency. It is excellent for the immune system and helps regain energy after an illness. Calc Phos supports bone density and muscle strength and assists with the recovery from injuries and growth spurts. It also improves protein metabolism.
Cell Salt Calcarea Sulphurica, short Calc Sulph and also called Calcium Sulfate, is excellent whenever there is pus formation and speeds the healing of skin conditions, specifically acne, boils and abscesses. It also helps recover from colds, coughs, earaches, and sinusitis. Calc Sulph can help stop a cold in its track if taken early.
The Potassium or Kali Cell Salts
Cell Salt Kali Muriaticum, short Kali Mur and also called Potassium Chloride in English, is beneficial wherever there is white, mealy secretion such as a white coated tongue, white discharge from a cold, cough, or sinus infection, and also white blisters and burns. Can be used carefully externally — around not on broken skin! — as a first aid remedy after a burn. Kali Mur is important for a healthy brain and also known for reducing fullness and noises in the ears.
Cell Salt Kali Phosphoricum, short Kali Phos and also called Potassium Phosphate, is known as the nerve-supporting cell salt. It alleviates anxiety, mental exhaustion, and low mood and helps people who are shy and do not want to mix and talk with others. Kali Phos is great for anybody who needs a mental boost or suffers from insomnia. Also highly recommended for neuralgic pains.
Cell Salt Kali Sulphuricum, short Kali Sulph and also called Potassium Sulfate in English, helps clear up yellow, sticky mucus and skin inflammations in progressed stages, including yellow discharge from coughs and colds, eczema, psoriasis, and dandruff. Also great for healthy nails and hair. Symptoms caused by a Kali Sulph deficiency tend to improve in fresh air.
The Natrum or Sodium Cell Salts
Cell Salt Natrum Muriaticum, short Nat Mur and also called Sodium Chloride, helps regulate water levels within the cells, and a deficiency of this salt or mineral makes itself seen and felt most frequently in the form of dry mucous membranes, bowels, and skin. It helps relieve hay fever, sore throat, dry eyes, dry cuticles, dandruff, constipation, and migraines. On the emotional level, Nat Mur helps deal with grief, high sensitivity, melancholia in puberty, heartbreak, and loss.
Cell Salt Natrum Phosphoricum, short Nat Phos and also called Sodium Phosphate, is an acid neutralizer and helps establish a proper pH balance in the body. Nat Phos alleviates heartburn, gas, indigestion, also baby colic, and acidity in the joints which can result in rheumatism, arthritis, and gout.
Cell Salt Natrum Sulphuricum, short Nat Sulph and also called Sodium Sulfate, is responsible for eliminating waste water from the cells. It stimulates the action of the liver, pancreas, and intestines and is recommended as a liver cleanse and for diabetes sufferers. It helps deal with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, the flu, and also edema and gout. Nat Sulph is the main ingredient in therapeutic waters from natural springs such as in the Czech towns Carlsbad and Marienbad and on the Ilse of Wight.
Iron, Magnesium, and Silica Cell Salts
Cell Salt Ferrum Phosphoricum, short Ferr Phos and also called Iron Phosphate in English, is the first remedy to think of for any kind of inflammation, including colds, coughs, fevers, injuries to muscles and joints, and wounds. It also helps to recover from surgery, a visit to the dentist, and a hard workout. Cell salt Ferr Phos is recommended for vegetarians to help the body assimilate iron without the side effects of regular iron supplements.
Cell Salt Magnesia Phosphorica, short Mag Phos and also called Magnesium Phosphate, is the cell salt for pain, especially nerve-related pain, shooting pain, and muscle spasms. It is recommended for cramps including menstrual pains and leg cramps, tooth aches, and babies’ pain from teething. Mag Phos is the cell salt that is often recommended together with a warm glass of water for even faster absorption.
Cell Salt Silicea, often called Silica, is recommended for healthier skin, hair, nails, and connective tissue. It helps eliminate foreign matters such as a splinter, breaks up abscesses, strengthens hair, and helps firm and tone muscles. It is specifically known for naturally supporting collagen production. Silica also supports the nervous system and helps build grit if you tend to fearfulness and helps with overall nutrient absorption.
Cellergy — The 12-in-1 Cell Salts Combination
A combination of all 12 cell salts is available and called Cellergy by AnnaKare. It is similar to Bioplasma by Hylands, but Cellergy is lactose free, gluten free, and sugar free. It is the “all in one” homeopathic cell salt remedy that is ideal as your daily overall mineral and electrolyte supplement, for traveling, and working out.
The convenience of having all 12 cell salts in one bottle comes especially handy while jogging or at the gym. Cellergy helps keep the levels of minerals in our cells and body balanced, increases energy, boosts the immune system, and helps with exercise recovery.
Make Yourself a Cell Salts Energy Drink with Electrolytes
Cell salts are absorbed quickly when taken directly in your mouth or when sprayed into a glass of water. Cellergy makes an optimal natural electrolyte drink. Just add several sprays (we suggest 10 squirts) of Cellergy to your water bottle and sip. Sip along all day, at the gym, or prepare yourself a drink with your favorite cell salt or combination of salts before going to sleep.
It may sound too good to believe, but it is absolutely true: Cell salts make incredibly quick and affordable health drinks for people of all ages and are also loved by your pets!
