Schuessler Salts: Areas of Application of the 12 Mineral Salts
Areas of Application and Indications of the Schuessler Salts
Using Schuessler Salts Against Mineral Deficiency
In cases of severe mineral deficiency such as iron deficiency, orthomolecular medicine recommends taking additional preparations. Schuessler salts can optimize the distribution of minerals in the body. Cell membranes altered by disease and the associated irritations of the electrolyte balance can be regulated and regenerated with the mineral salts. They thus ensure a healthy balance.
