The nutrients in the blood can be likened to the nutrients in the soil. Plants, once stripped of essential ingredients, become sickly, but once enriched are able to recover and flourish. When our blood is lacking the necessary nutrients, cellular activity declines and our bodies become prone to illness. Health can be restored by giving cells the essential nutrients they lack.
The simple logic of Dr. Schuessler's theory is: The human body contains twelve vital mineral (tissue) salts, a proper balance of which is essential for normal cell function and for the maintenance of health. When this balance is disturbed, an abnormal condition leading to disease follows.
According to Dr. Shuessler, a normal balance of these vital mineral salts can be re-established by administering the deficient mineral salts in a readily assimilated form. Schuessler found the most effective way to assimilate these salts was through a homeopathically prepared micro-dose, which passes rapidly in the blood stream and therefore into our cells.
