DR W.H. SCHUESSLER
The Pioneer of Tissue Salts
In the early 19th century, German physiological chemist and physicist Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of natural health. He identified 12 essential Tissue Salts, which are now recognised as the building blocks of every human cell. These Biochemic Tissue Salts play a crucial role in maintaining the body's health, well-being, and cellular balance.
Today, Dr. Schuessler's Tissue Salts continue to be a cornerstone in natural medicine, providing a holistic approach to supporting the body's innate healing processes.

THE 5 PRINCIPLES OF BIOCHEMISTRY BY DR SCHUESSLER
UNDERSTANDINGTHE ROLE OF TISSUE SALTS IN HEALTH
1. Normal Cell Metabolism Prevents Disease
A healthy body is the result of balanced cell metabolism.
When cells function properly, put simply, Dr Schuessler believed diseases cannot develop.
2. Cell Nutrition is Key to Healthy Metabolism
For cells to function optimally, they need proper nutrition, which includes both organic and inorganic nutrients.
3. Nutritional Substances: Organic and Inorganic
The body relies on two types of nutrients: organic (like vitamins) and inorganic (such as Tissue Salts or minerals). Both are vital for cellular health.
4. Deficiency in Tissue Salts Leads to Impaired Cell Function
When the body lacks essential inorganic minerals (Tissue Salts), cells lose their ability to absorb, utilise, and excrete nutrients, leading to imbalances.
5. Restoring Cellular Health with Tissue Salts
By replenishing the body's supply of tissue salts in a bioavailable form, cellular metabolism can be restored, improving overall health and well-being.

ORIGINAL SCHUESSLER TISSUE SALTS PREPARATION
Effective Mineral Absorption
The effectiveness of Tissue Salts relies on the body’s ability to quickly and efficiently absorb minerals into the bloodstream. Dr. Schuessler developed his Tissue Salt remedies through the homeopathic process of trituration. This method involves combining one part of pure mineral salt with nine parts lactose (milk sugar). The mixture is then triturated, or ground, until a 2X potency is achieved. The process is often repeated, with 6X potency being the most common dilution used for optimal absorption.
At this 6X potency, Tissue Salts can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes of the mouth, bypassing the digestive system. For best results, Tissue Salts should be dissolved in the mouth rather than swallowed whole, allowing for faster and more effective mineral uptake.
Martin & Pleasance still hand grind the minerals and follow this same production technique today.
