Tissue Salts or Cell Salts are the basic chemical building blocks found in the body. If the water in your body were taken away, the result would be a pile of the compounds listed below. They are used in the body on a cellular level, and too much or to little of these compounds can result in disease. These conditions can be corrected by restoring proper levels of Tissue or Cell Salts.

Below is a brief overview of the 12 Biochemic Tissue Salts that make up the Human Body and the diseases that may occur when overabundant or in short supply. This information is paraphrased from "The 12 Tissue Remedies of Schussler", by Boericke & Dewey. Another very useful quick reference guide to tissue cell salts is The Biochemic Handbook, How to Get Well and Keep Fit with Biochemic Tissue Salts.

If you would like a more complete understanding of the actions of biochemic tissue (cell) salts, contact Homeopathy for Health. Tissue Salts can be purchased locally at most health food stores or on the web at Homeopathy for Health or Vitacost.com. If you would like to buy the salts online, just click the button next to the item you are interested in.
