Schuessler Salts

Let's start at the beginning: Schuessler salts have nothing to do with "salt" in the conventional sense, but are potentized mineral salts. Usually, Schuessler salts are offered in tablets based on lactose, however Remedia offers Schuessler salts in globule form.

Schuessler salts do not have a salty taste, but quite the opposite, a sweetish neutral taste. Those who have concerns about the sugar content of the tablets should resort to globules. Schuessler salts globules are lactose-free and vegan. Schuessler salts are also available as dilutions or creams.

Dr. Schuessler (1821-1898) advocated the theory that many diseases are based on a mineral deficiency of body cells. He assumed that through his salts the organism is stimulated to better extract the missing minerals from food, and to transport them to the right places. According to Schuessler, through potentization it is possible to influence the inner part of cells.

Complementary to this, a coordinated diet should be kept, which counteracts the mineral imbalance outside the cells. In this way, a balance between the cell-inside and cell-outside can be established.
