Cell salts are also called biochemic remedies or tissue salts). A homeopathic physician, W.H. Schuessler, developed the Biochemic system using 12 different 'cell salts', believing that their combination could restore imbalances in the body (especially those that might eventually lead to disease). Schuessler's salts are easily dissolvable minerals, each with its own distinctive ability. They are prepared in low potency(3x or 6x) and are used based on homeopathic indications.
