The 12 Schuessler Tissue Salts, their Primary Functions, and Many Benefits
The 12 cell or tissue salts are essential minerals that occur in nature and in our body. Their beauty in nature is remarkable. In the body, they help perform an unlimited number of important functions and are responsible for the health and regeneration of our cells and tissues.
Physical and emotional symptoms, facial signs, and even your time of birth and zodiac sign point to specific minerals that can provide a wealth of health benefits for you.
Several indicators or just one alone can highlight a mineral deficiency and lead to greater well-being and strength — and sometimes life-changing improvements.
Prepared homeopathically for easy assimilation by the body, cell salts do not cause side effects experienced by regular mineral supplements and can be combined with other medicines.
Homeopathy Store’s cell salts are liquid and lactose-free and presented in form of our AnnaKare oral sprays for optimal absorption and with the least amount of inactive ingredients possible. Scroll all the way down for an easy-to-download and print chart!
