The Twelve Cell Salts
His research also indicates that homeopathically prepared minerals help to maintain mineral balance in the body, and are used by the body as core, building nutrients at the cellular level. Cell salts are used to stimulate corresponding body salts toward normal metabolic activity and health restoration as are other homeopathic remedies.
They “re-tune” the body so it can return to a healthy balance. Cell salts are based on homeopathic remedies and may be used in a healing program along with other homeopathic treatments. Only very small amounts of cell salts are needed to properly nourish the cells.
The Twelve Cell Salts A large part of today’s cell salts are now extracted from organic plant sources. These medicines are available as tiny lactose-based tablets that are dissolved under the tongue and in tinctures. (1) CALCAREA FLUOR - calcium fluoride Calcium fluoride is contained in the elastic fibers of the skin, blood vessels, connective tissue, bones and teeth. It is used the treatment of dilated or weakened blood vessels, such as those found in hemorrhoids, varicose veins, hardened arteries and glands. (2) CALCAREA PHOS - calcium phosphate Calcium phosphate is in abundance in all tissues. It strengthens bones, and helps build new blood cells. A deficiency of calcium phosphate results in anemia, emaciation and weakness, slow growth and poor digestion. (3) CALCAREA SULPH - calcium sulphate Calcium sulphate is found in bile; promotes continual blood cleansing. When deficient in the body, toxic build-up occurs in the form of skin disorders, respiratory clog, boils and ulcerations, and slow healing. (4) FERRUM PHOS - iron phosphate - Mineral compound of iron and phosphorus. Both iron and phosphorus are in the body independently; phosphorus contributes to bone and muscle health, and iron aids the exchange of oxygen in the blood. Homeopathic practitioners consider ferrum phos good for patients who suffer from ailments with low energy and anemia. Target Ailments (Take internally) * tickling hacking coughs with chest pain, headaches, fevers that begin slowly, ear infections, early menstrual periods accompanied by headaches, anemia, fatigue, nosebleeds, sore throat, vomiting, palpitations. Preparations Ferrum phosphate is available in various potencies, in both liquid and tablet form. Side effects None expected
Potassium chloride is a mineral supplement prescribed for the treatment and prevention of potassium depletion. Such depletion usually results from the excretion of minerals through increased urine flow. A potassium chloride deficiency results in coating of the tongue, gland swelling, skin scaling, and excess mucous discharge. Side effects Not Serious: Gastrointestinal upset. (To help alleviate this problem, take medication with meals.) Serious: Black stools ( a possible symptom of gastrointestinal bleeding), severe vomiting . Excessive doses of potassium chloride can lead to high potassium levels in the blood, possibly causing heart- rhythm problems and mental confusion. If you experience an irregular heartbeat or feel confused, call your family doctor immediately. Special Information * Potassium chloride can cause stomach irritation, inform your doctor if you have stomach ulcers. * Do not take Potassium chloride if you are taking potassium-sparing diuretics or salt substitutes.
(6) KALI PHOS - potassium phosphate Potassium phosphate is found in all fluids and tissues in the body. A deficiency of this cell salt is characterized by intense body odor. It is used to treat mental problems such as depression, irritability, neuralgia, dizziness, headaches, and nervous stomach. (7) KALI SULPH - potassium sulphate Potassium sulphate is an oxygen-carrier for the skin. A deficiency of this cell salt causes a deposit on the tongue, and slimy nasal , eye, ear and mouth secretions. (8) MAGNESIA PHOS - magnesium phosphate Magnesium phosphate is an infrastructure constituent. A deficiency in this cell salt impairs muscles and nerve fibers, causing cramps, spasms and neuralgia pain, usually accompanied by prostration and profuse sweating. (9) NATRUM MUR - sodium chloride Sodium chloride is simply salt, a substance present in the natural world in quantities greater than any other except water. Salt has been valued in human commerce throughout history because it is essential to life and health. Homeopaths prescribe dilute solution of salt (Nat mur, as they call it), for conditions that are coupled with symptoms of extreme thirst, emotional sensitivity, and a strong desire for salt. Target Ailments * depression caused by grief, with a desire to be alone; menstrual irregularity; indigestion; fevers accompanied by weakness and chills; backaches that are relieved by firm pressure; cold sores, especially in the corners of the mouth; colds with sneezing, watery eyes, and runny nose; genital herpes; eczema; anemia; hay fever; migraine headaches. Preparations Salt (Nat mur) is available over the counter in various potencies, both in liquid and in tablet form. Side Effects None expected. (10) NATRUM PHOS - sodium phosphate Sodium phosphate regulates the body’s acid/alkaline balance. It catalyzes lactic acid and fat emulsion. An imbalance of this cell salt is indicated by a coated tongue, itchy skin, sour stomach, low appetite, diarrhea and flatulence. (11) NATRUM SULPH - sodium sulphate An imbalance of sodium sulphate produces edema in the tissues, dry skin with watery eruptions, poor bile and pancreas activity, headaches, and gouty symptoms. (12) SILICEA - silica - (also called Flint) Silica is a mineral that is present in the human body in only trace amounts. It is vital to the development of bones, the flexibility of cartilage, and the health of skin and connective tissues. Very successful in treating boils, pimples and abscesses, blood cleansing and rebuilding the body after illness or injury.
Target Ailments * headaches beginning in the back of the head and spreading forward to the eyes, swollen glands in the neck, gum infections, hemorrhoids, breast cysts. athlete’s foot, earache with decreased hearing and a stopped-up sensation, fingernails that have white pots and split easy Preparations Silica is available over the counter in various potencies. Both liquid and tablet form are available. Side Effects None expected.
