When I am asked where or how to start the natural healing journey, I always recommend Cell Salts.  Cell salts are homeopathic preparations of the minerals that are the building blocks of our bodies. Cell salts are very safe and effective and they taste sweet and dissolve almost instantly in the mouth or in water. Children love to take them.

Cell Salts (tissue salts) exist in every human body. These are the inorganic biochemical elements found in the blood and tissues. They are the builders and the catalysts for many essential processes. For example, most people may have heard of potassium chloride, but few realize that it is a tissue salt (cell salt) essential to the digestive process. This salt unites with hydrogen to form HCL (hydrochloric acid), aids in the production of bile, serves as an alkalizer, and helps in digestive enzyme formation. Therefore, it is a dynamic component of health.

Twelve cell salts were identified in the 1850s by European scientists, and this knowledge was soon added to the materia medica of physicians and practitioners throughout Europe. Today, homeopathic practitioners and naturopathic doctors in the United States and other countries are beginning to revive the use of cell salt supplementation in successfully treating a spectrum of disease conditions.

Because they are diluted and potentized, only minute bio chemic amounts of the mineral salts are uptaken by cells and tissues. This enables better absorption of nutrients while fortifying and energizing living tissue.  Cell salts support proper cell function to optimize health and ameliorate physical and emotional symptoms.  The effectiveness of cell salts has been proven for over two hundred years.

There is also the combination of 12 cell salts available which is called “Bioplasma”. It has all the 12 tissue salts in each tablet for overall cell support.

Where are the nutrients?

After millennia of destructive farming practices, our planet’s soil has been denatured.  Our foods do not have the nutrients necessary for health.  We in the civilized world tend to be overfed but undernourished.

For many people in this new era, the situation is complicated by self-limiting food intake and digestive disturbances, as a consequence, they are often severely affected by mineral deficiencies. Deficiencies may manifest as anxiety, mood swings, digestive problems, and other signs of imbalance.

Cell Salts are Essential

Minerals are the foundation for enzyme activity in the body.  They serve as catalysts in energy cycles and functions.  They nourish cells to provide the foundation of a healthy body.  Cell Salts facilitate the basic functioning of cells including water balance, digestion, removing toxins, the elasticity of the cells, oxygenation, nutrition, and sodium-potassium balance. There is another form of mineral that I highly recommend to everyone which should be taken alongside Cell Salts on daily basis and is called QuintEssential 3.3.

Emotional and Physical Symptoms of Cell Salt Deficiencies

An individual may be deficient in any of the Cell Salts.  Deficiencies are demonstrated through signs and symptoms of the individual.  The table below is a starting point for exploring uses for Cell Salts.

How to Use Cell Salts

Review the chart and note if you have any symptoms of deficiency.

Select one to three cell salts that correspond with your own and your child’s most significant symptoms.   If you look at the list and determine that more than three are indicated, remind yourself that that healing is a journey.  More is not always better.

Start by taking three pellets of each cell salt you selected three times per day.  As symptoms improve, reduce dosing to two, and later one time per day. After about a month, look at the chart again.  Re-evaluate your needs and adjust your Cell Salt selection.

To take Cell Salts, shake three tablets into the cap of the vial.  Tip the cap into your mouth without touching the mouth.  Allow the tablets to dissolve. Cell salts work best when taken in a clean mouth.  Do not eat, drink or brush teeth 15 minutes before or after taking cell salts.  Please note that combinations of cell salts (Bioplasma) or other homeopathic, glandular and organ supportive remedies may be needed to fully resolve the listed symptoms. 

If you are not sure where to start with the Cell Salts, I would recommend a combination of 12 mineral cell salts called Bioplasma which is vital to cellular health & function. It provides the daily supply of each cell salt to bring balance to overall cell function.

Cell Salt Combinations for feeling restless or agitated

1.The three combination cell salts: Ferrum Phos, Kali Phos, and Mag Phos will help you or your child relax when you are experiencing:

* Anxiety

* A general, frazzled feeling

* Insomnia

2. If you have never used cell salts or homeopathic remedies, the above combination is an excellent way to try out this gentle healing method. You can take the above combination as needed to facilitate relaxation. Shake 3 tablets of each cell salt into the cap and tip them into a clean mouth. If you or your child experience any of the listed symptoms regularly, consider taking the remedy as a tonic. Take a dose as described above two or three times per day for a month.

I have been using this combination both as needed and as a tonic for years. I give it to my daughter at bedtime when she is restless. I take it myself when I’m frazzled. Each time, we feel better almost instantly.
