The 12 cell salts in homeopathy

Cell salts, also known as tissue salts or Schussler salts, are a group of mineral salts that are believed by some to be essential for maintaining the body's biochemical balance and overall health. They were developed by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schussler, a German physician, in the late 19th century.



Schuessler proposed that imbalances or deficiencies in these mineral salts within the body's cells could lead to various health problems. He identified twelve mineral compounds that he believed were crucial for cellular function and health. These minerals are prepared in a highly diluted form, similar to homeopathic remedies.

The twelve cell salts identified by Schussler are:

1. Calcium Fluoride (Calc. Fluor.)

2. Calcium Phosphate (Calc. Phos.)

3. Calcium Sulphate (Calc. Sulph.)

4. Iron Phosphate (Ferr. Phos.)

5. Potassium Chloride (Kali Mur.)

6. Potassium Phosphate (Kali Phos.)

7. Potassium Sulphate (Kali Sulph.)

8. Magnesium Phosphate (Mag. Phos.)

9. Sodium Chloride (Nat. Mur.)

10. Sodium Phosphate (Nat. Phos.)

11. Sodium Sulphate (Nat. Sulph.)

12. Silica (Silicea)


Each of these cell salts is associated with specific functions and tissues in the body, and they are often recommended for various health conditions based on the principle of addressing mineral deficiencies or imbalances.

Cell salts suggest that they can help with a wide range of health issues, including digestive problems, skin conditions, fatigue, muscle cramps, and more. They are typically available in tablet form and are taken orally.


As with any alternative therapy, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before using cell salts, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications. Additionally, they should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical treatment for serious health issues.
