Cellular Nutrition
Biochemic cell salts, foundational elements in homeopathy and alternative medicine, were introduced by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler in the late 19th century. These salts, rooted in the principle that imbalances in cellular mineral salts lead to disease, are known for their potential in restoring cellular balance and treating various ailments. Our comprehensive guide unravels the intricacies of the twelve biochemic cell salts, their nutritional and herbal synergists, and essential oils, offering a multifaceted approach to health and nutrition.
