In this article I would like to answer these questions briefly but accurately and give you everything you need to know about mineral salts in the human body.
What are mineral salts anyway?
At Mineral salts (also called minerals) refers to various inorganic nutrients that occur in the human body and are absorbed through food. Among other things, these minerals are responsible for making us feel healthy, alert, attractive and fit. For this to be the case in the long term, however, it is essential that the body is able to make optimal use of the nutrients once they have been absorbed.
The effect of mineral salts in the human body
Mineral salts are therefore of elementary importance for a healthy body. Already the doctor Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler (1821 - 1998) assumed that health complaints often arise when the cells of the body can not properly absorb and process minerals and based on this theory developed the mineral salt therapy with Schüßler salts named after him.
These are homeopathic medicines based on twelve essential mineral salts in potentized form. They are designed to help the body better absorb minerals again and to be able to utilize it ideally in order to promote its self-healing power and thus actively strengthen health in a variety of ailments.
