Cell Salts & Cellular health
What are Schuessler’s Tissue Salts?
Cell Salts sometimes called Biochemic Tissue Salts (also known as Schuessler Salts) are natural potentized inorganic mineral remedies first developed in Germany by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler (also spelt Schuessler) more than one hundred years ago (see photo below). Schüssler developed these twelve remedies to assist the physical body with its intracellular biochemical reactions. He believed ill-health could be caused by an imbalance in the physical body’s twelve vital cell salts. The same twelve essential minerals present in the Earth and from which the physical body of humans or animals is created. Schüssler believed that these imbalances could be corrected by easily absorbed, homeopathically prepared, micro-doses of each salt.
Tissue salts are not traditional homeopathy but both have something in common. A very small dose of raw material is used and they are dynamized or potentiated using the homeopathic method. However, there is one big difference. A micro amount of the material substance is still present in the salts. When a homeopathic remedy is potentized above the 12th potency there are no more material particles in it. Only the energy of the substance it was made from is present. Schuessler salts are prepared generally to the 6th potency which means molecules of the substance, still remain. They also have an effect on an energetic level due to the fact that Cell Salts naturally replenish depleted cells and restore optimum function.
Tissue Salts are available from most health food stores either singly or mixed in combinations.

How do Tissue salts actually work?
I am indebted to Tanya Lee Collop and her Guides for this answer.
Every cell has a Spiral Vortex. Every organ has one too. If the Spiral Vortex is repaired, and rebalanced, then the cell or organ can heal and self-correct. Just like the aura supports health the Spiral Vortices do too. The etheric body is the first layer of the aura, in other words is closest to the physical body, and acts as a Template for the physical body. In order for the physical body to heal the etheric must first heal. Cell salts work at the etheric level. They have a subtle but high vibration.
An analogy would be if cell salts are melted into water and the water is applied to the skin the effect is like placing a warm blanket over a cold spot.

COSMOLOGICAL DATA Chart From The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation by Dr. George Washington Carey and Inez Eudora Perry 1932
This ancient knowledge was studied and understood by many of the Ancient Mystery Schools, such as in Alexandria, Egypt and Greece, the importance of mineral cell salts in the process of spiritual initiation into hierogamic union (Hieros Gamos – which means the integration of the spirit and the physical), which allows higher frequencies to be embodied through the nourishing of the cells with the mineralized energy form that is required to transmutate the cell. Tissue salts consist of the natural elements occurring in the body itself – identical substances. They form the basic constituents of the cells, tissues and organs, and the body uses their energies for metabolic functions. When tissue salts are required for these functions, there should be an adequate supply available in the body and its fluids to draw upon. If there is an insufficiency the cells convert their material structure to provide the energy, and the cell goes into a depleted state. Should this cycle continue, namely of material substance converting to provide energy without nutritional replacement, the cells lose their ability to function correctly.
This is a guideline provided based on the Alchemical Laws of the Zodiac which is based on material compiled and written by George W. Carey, M.D. and Inez Eudora Perry, “The Biochemic System of Medicine”, and the “Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation” by George W. Carey, M.D.
Based upon this guideline, Cell Salts are suggested for each Zodiac Sun Sign, Ascendant Sign ( Rising Sign, 1st House), Descendant Sign (Opposite Rising Sign, 7th House). Using discernment one may call upon the requirement of one or all of the mineral cell salts based upon, symptomology, current astrological conditions, or personal cosmology Blueprint.

Introduction: The 12 Biochemic Salts and how to use them today
Matter that does not include carbon (science calls this inorganic matter) that is essential to the optimization of human physical body functions are comprised of 12 mineral tissue salts: Calc Fluor, Calc Phos, Calc Sulph, Ferr Phos, Kali Mur, Kali Phos, Kali Sulph, Mag Phos, Nat Mur, Nat Phos, Nat Sulph and Silica. A deficiency in any of these led to weakened cell structure, ill health and lowered immunity. When the mineral salt deficiency is corrected, the cells again functioned normally and health is strengthened.
Biochemic tissue salts, also called cell salts are minerals in an energy form.
Together all 12 of these mineral cell salts combined are called Bioplasma. In our spiritual community the necessity of soothing the brain and nervous system from exhaustion during many Ascension Symptoms have given Bioplasma the nickname of the “Starseed Supplement”.
1.Calcarea Fluorica (Calc Fluor)
TISSUE ELASTICITY – TOOTH ENAMEL – BONE COATING
Cell Salts Usage
Rising or Sun Sign: Cancer
Ruling: BREAST STOMACH & EMOTIONS, UPPER DIGESTION
MAGNETIC FORCE, Female, Cold
Moon Ruler: Emotions
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.
Calc Fluor is useful for people prone to varicose veins, helping the veins regain their elasticity. Also: It is used for bony tumors; sluggish circulation; cracks in the skin, loss of elasticity; rough, loose and sensitive teeth; delayed dentition; relaxation of tissues and blood vessels causing in flabby flesh; varicose veins; hemorrhoids and displacements of organs. It is an important constituent of the hard tissue of the body, teeth, bones, fingernails, the lens of the eye and elastic fibers in muscle tissue. In deficiency, it causes loss of elasticity in tissue and malnutrition of the bones. Cancer rules the stomach, breasts, body fluids and mucus membranes. Calc fluor. provides nourishment to the structures that contain and support the body. It also provide the flexibility needed for optimum function of the Cancer-ruled organs. It keeps abdominal and breast tissue supple and restores resilience to boggy or fissured mucus membranes. On an emotional level, it prevents the armoring Cancerians are prone to in their desire to protect their natural sensitivity.[1][2]
It is recommended in the alterations of flexible fibers: varicoses, hemorrhoids, phlebitis. This salt has an affinity for the bones, teeth, skin, connective tissues, and the elastic fibers of the veins and glands. Deficiencies in this mineral, therefore, show up as bone or tooth difficulties, or loss of elasticity resulting in hardness. Calc. Fluor. is therefore good for loose teeth, hemorrhoids, skin diseases (especially when there is cracking), hardened glands, poor circulation, and ailments of the tendons and ligaments. Perhaps the most significant use of this cell salt is its use in patients with emphysema. In this condition, the air sacs in a person’s lungs cannot stretch or compress enough to breathe correctly. Over time, Calc. Fluor. can greatly help to correct this malfunction (in conjunction with other natural therapies). A disturbance in the balance of Calc. Fluor. or Calcium Fluoride in any of the body tissues, can cause a chronically relaxed condition of any of the associated tissues. If the elastic fibers of of any portion of the vessels of the connective tissues or lymphatic system have arrived at such a state of relaxation, it is thought that the osmotic transfer of body fluid can be interrupted and that fluids will accumulate in these cellular tissues. It is also known that when the elastic fibers of the blood vessels are disturbed by an imbalance of the molecules of Calc. Fluor. or Calcium Fluoride, enlargements of blood vessels can take place such as: Piles, hemorrhoids, Varicose or Enlarged Veins, Hardened Glands, Organ Displacements, Weakened Abdominal Walls, Hemorrhages of Organs or Tissues.
2. Calcarea Phosphorica (Calc Phos)
CELL RESTORER
Rising or Sun Sign: Capricorn
Ruling: KNEES
MAGNETIC FORCE, Male, Cold
Saturn Ruler: Restriction
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.#I Also: Found in fertile soil, new blood cells, bone, gastric juices and dentin of teeth. It is used for growth problems; broken bones; cramps; spasms; numbness; cold feelings in the body and head; sluggish circulation; susceptibility to colds and mucous; spinal curvature; sore breasts; chronic tonsillitis; cracks in the skin and night sweats.Calcium phosphate is the cell salt of Capricorn. It is an important constituent of the bones.
Capricorn rules the skeletal system, especially the teeth, the knees and the joints, the gall bladder and the skin. The body requires larger amounts of Calc phos. than any other, especially during childhood and growth spurts, or when recovering from broken bones. Skeletal problems such as rickets, curvature of the spine and tooth decay respond well to this cell salt. Elderly people are particularly responsive to Calc phos. because it not only adds calcium to the system but improves gastric digestive function so all vitamins and minerals are better assimilated. Pregnant women find this form of calcium gentle and well received by the body, as do children, who can develop overly strong bones too early if given supplemental calcium in other forms. Calcium Phosphate is recommended in the disturbances of metabolism of calcium, as rachitis, stones in the kidneys and in the fast re-establishment of a fracture. Calcium Phosphate is absolutely essential to the proper growth and nutrition of the body. This salt is found in the blood-plasma and corpuscles, saliva, gastric juice, bones, connective tissue, teeth, milk. Calcium Phosphate has an affinity for the bones, teeth, glands, nerves, blood, gastric juices, and connective tissues. It is an excellent restorative remedy for the convalescent. Children who are not growing well will benefit from this cell salt. Since it is the main component of bone, it is indicated in all bone diseases, such as rheumatism and rickets. It is also good for teething problems.
Since it often intensifies the actions of other cell salts, it is a good companion remedy. Australian naturopath Judy Jacka attests to its value in kidney and ovarian complaints. American naturopath Skye Weintraub recommends this salt for anemia. Calcium Phosphate is of vital importance to growth and maintenance of healthy cells and is needed in the bones, the blood, ova and semen cells, the liver, the salivary glands and, in a greater concentration in the thyroid gland. Calcium phosphate has five main functions, and especially deserves to be called a “life-sustaining mineral.”
It is the main component of bones and is necessary for their development, giving them solidity and the capacity to bear weight. It has a role in dental formation, and is a bonding agent in the organic construction of protein. As a blood-building tissue salt it fulfills another important task: red and white blood corpuscles, the main component of which is calcium phosphate, are formed in the bones. Moreover, this salt is also necessary for bonding of blood proteins, and it is an important blood-clotting factor. If calcium ions are missing, then clotting is slowed or seriously disturbed.This mineral salt is the main remedy for cramps, since calcium phosphate has a calming and relaxing effect on muscle functions and on the entire organisms. For this reason it can be used with sleeping disorders, especially if sleep is regularly interrupted between one and two o’clock. This application also makes if effective as a sedative for the heart, especially when the pulse is rapid in relation to the body’s activity or temperature (palpitation). Calcium phosphate is the salt that warms. It should, therefore, be considered when symptoms are exacerbated by cold and improve with warmth.It is indicated for: cramps; rickets; weak bones; rheumatic pains that are exacerbated by cold and wind; nosebleeds; dental problems; morning sickness; palpitations; heart flutters; stiffness on rising in the morning; sensitive iliosacral joints; sensitive bones; and in convalescence. It is A good remedy for children who develop slowly and people who catch colds easily. The principle mineral salt of bones and teeth. In the human body, Calcarea Fluorica, Calc. Fluor., or Calcium Fluoride, is found in the surface of the bones and in the enamel of the teeth. It is also a constituent of the elastic fibers of epidermal tissues.
3. Calcarea Sulfurica (Calc Sulph)
BLOOD PURIFIER – DISINTEGRATES OLD CELLS
Rising or Sun Sign: Scorpio
Ruling: SEXUAL/REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
FIXED VITAL Force,Female,Coldest
Pluto Ruler: Careful, Negative, Slight, Sensitive
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. Present in connective tissue and in liver cells. Used for cellular regeneration; infection due to pus; pimples, sore throats, colds, pancreatic, liver and kidney disturbances; frontal headaches with nausea; excessive sensitivity of nerves as well as cravings for fruit and acids. Calcium Sulphate is the Scorpio cell salt. Calcium sulfate is an important constituent of all connective tissue and is essential to the healing process as a purifying agent. Scorpio rules the colon, sexual organs, large intestine, eliminative channels and outlets and the prostate gland. Calc sulph. provides a protective coating to these organs. When it is lacking we get boils, skin eruptions, fistulas or chronic constipation or diarrhea. Another manifestation is barrenness or impotence, as the body is incapable of providing a competent protective coating for egg and sperm. Calcium Sulphate is recommended in the long-lasting toxicity.
This salt is mostly found in the tissues of the skin, blood, and mucous membranes. Along with the cell salt Silica, this is the salt most often used for wounds. Skin complaints of all types indicate Calc. Sulph. Abscesses, bums, boils, styes, and skin ulcers all indicate a deficiency of this salt. Calc. Sulph. is also known as a strong alternative, or blood purifier, with a potent detoxifying effect on the liver. This salt, therefore, is excellent in preventing general ill health and infections of all types.
4. Ferrum Phosphoricum (Ferr Phos)
OXYGEN CARRIER – ANTI-INFLAMMATORY – FIRST AID SUPPLEMENT
Rising or Sun Sign: Pisces
Ruling: FEET,LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Mutable ELECTRIC FORCE, Female, Cold
Neptune Ruler: Escapist/Escapism.
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 phosphate 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. Use Ferr. Phos Externally on wounds and cuts–first line of defense for healing.
Ferrum Phos. is a natural source of iron for anemia.Found in all cells of the body but primarily in the hemoglobin of red blood cells and in the muscle cells of the blood and lymph vessels and in hair cells. Used for acute phases of disease. Increases body development; regulates the bowels; improves the appetite and relieves debility and listlessness. Also used in vomiting of food and blood; nosebleeds; teething fever; inflamed hemorrhoids; retention of urine in children; excessive menses; congestion, inflammatory pain in general, high temperatures, increased heart rates, insomnia and congestive headaches. FERRUM PHOS. is the cell salt for Pisces. It is the only common metal salt among the twelve cell salts, and is critically important in its function of making all of the other cell salts more effective. It is required for healthy red blood cells; lack of it can cause anemia. Pisces rules the lymphatic system and the feet. Ferrum phos. distributes oxygen to all body organs and tissues, and is indicated in all cases of inflammation and fever. It enables the blood and the lymph to carry waste and poisons away from affected tissue. It is especially indicated for people who are nervous and sensitive, who come down with every transient cold or flu.
Ferrum Phosphate is recommended in all the inflammations [cleansing] that are found in initial stage and in any organ, in the initial forms of inflammation with fever and congestion, in certain anemias, in children with anorexia and loss of weight. Ferr. Phos. is widely used salt is mostly found in the blood, veins, arteries, lungs, ears, and nose. It is THE principal first-aid remedy due to its anti inflammatory action. All fevers indicate iron phosphate. Since it is a part of hemoglobin, Ferr. Phos. helps to carry oxygen more efficiently throughout the body, helping it to fight all infections. It is indicated for anemia, as well as internal hemorrhaging. External bleeding can often be stopped by sprinkling the powdered salt on the wound. Fer. Phos. is mostly used at the beginning stages of all acute illnesses.
5. Kalium Muriaticum (Kali Mur)
BLOOD CONDITIONER – CLEANSER & DETOXIFYING AGENT
Rising or Sun Sign: Gemini
Ruling: LUNGS, HANDS, SHOULDERS, ARMS
Mutable, ELECTRIC FORCE, Neutral, Cold
Mercury Ruler: Mental
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. Kali Mur. is used to clear the residual effects of colds and flu such as fluid in the ear or excessive mucus in nose and throat. Has a special affinity for fibrin and is useful in diseases causing blisters. Indicated in all inflammatory or catarrhal conditions such as chickenpox, measles, burns and scalds, leucorrhea (white blood cells flowing out of the system via diarrhea), jaundice, acne and asthma. It is also used for sluggish conditions, sore throat, white colored tongue, light colored stools, coughs and colds. Potassium chloride is the cell salt for Gemini. Gemini rules the lungs, bronchial tree, shoulders, arms and hands, the tubes of the body and the central nervous system. Kali mur. is the cell salt essential to the formation of most cells in the body except the bone cells and helps cells retain their shape. Symptoms of a deficiency of Kali mur. are congestion of the bronchial tubes, excessive mucus in the nose and sinuses, or swollen glands, including mumps and tonsillitis. Chronic inflammation of the mucus membranes can occur when the body is unable to break down nutrients and they are being run off in the form of mucus. Kali mur. breaks down mucus and allows the body to effectively create new tissue from dietary intake.
Potassium Chloride is recommended in the cases that we have mucus, infections, circulation, enlarged lymph nodes. Pharyngitis (“Strep Throat”) and Allergy, Environment, Toxicity. Potassium Chloride is an essential component of muscles, nerve cells, blood, mucous membranes, and brain cells. In the blood, this mineral helps to form fibrin. When there is not enough fibrin in the blood, a thick, white discharge results. Along with Calc. Phos., this salt is good for the convalescent. All ear and throat ailments, especially tonsillitis, respond well to potassium chloride. Kali Mur is often used in conjunction with Ferr. Phos. for treating fevers, headaches, abscesses, bleeding, coughs, and styes.
6. Kali Phosphoricum (Kali Phos)
MENTAL & PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION – NERVE & BRAIN CELL NUTRIENT – STRONG ANTISEPTIC
Rising or Sun Sign: Aries
Ruling: HEAD and WILL POWER
Cardinal MAGNETIC FORCE, Male, Hot
Mars Ruler: Active, Tenancious and Head strong
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.Found in all cells, especially the gray matter of the brain , nerves, muscles, blood cells and plasma. All oxidation processes use this. The exchange of gasses in respiration and breakdown of fatty tissue depends on it. It is natures’ great “antiseptic” hindering decay in the organism. A remedy for offensive secretions and excretions, for nerve depression or excitement, sexual impotence, nervous headaches, lack of pep, ill humor, skin ailments, occasional sleeplessness, timidity, tantrums, loss of nerve and mental power or after great mental and bodily strain, and for nervous giddiness and squinting. Potassium phosphate is the Aries cell salt. It is a nerve nutrient with a significant effect on the nerve cells, especially the brain cells. It is used for all forms of mental fatigue, as well as for depression, insomnia, irritability, hysteria and headaches. Nervous disorders and fatigue from long hours of concentration and overwork are particularly responsive to Kali phos.
Kalium Phosphate is recommended in oversensitive individuals, nervously and with decreased liveliness. Potassium Phosphate is mostly found as a component of the brain, nerve cells, spinal cord, and blood. Since it is found so much in the nervous system, Kali Phos. is indicated for all emotional problems such as depression, sadness, apathy, stress, irritability, poor memory, and irrational fears. Along with Ferr. Phos., Kali Phos. helps to carry oxygen in the body. It is therefore good for all infective or septic conditions. Some of the old homeopathic repertories recommend this cell salt when cancerous tumors are present. Along with Mag Phos., this salt helps to restore the nervous system to rightful functioning. Remember it for cases of shingles and neuralgia!
7. Kalium Sulphuricum (Kali Sulph)
KIDNEY CLEANSER -OXYGEN CARRIER
Rising or Sun Sign: Virgo
Ruling: DIGESTION, INTESTINAL, LOWER STOMACH
Mutable, ELECTRIC FORCE, Neutral,Cold
Mercury-Chiron Rulers: Mental body and Service to Others
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. Found in epidermis and epithelial cells. Carries oxygen to the cells. Used for hot flashes; chills; weariness; heaviness; giddiness; boxed in feelings; stomach catarrh; inflammatory conditions; eruptions of the skin; shifting pains; palpitations; anxiety; fear; sadness; toothaches; headaches and pains in limbs that tend to increase indoors especially in warm and close rooms or in the warm air of the summer; yellow/slimy catarrhal discharges; dandruff; psoriasis and diseases of the nails (rough or ribbed). Potassium sulfate is the salt attributed to those born under the sign of Virgo. Virgo rules the small intestine, Spleen and lower alimentary system. Kali sulph. improves the body’s ability to take up nutrition efficiently, and particularly to make and distribute oils throughout the system. As we age, our decreasing ability to effectively use what we eat shows up in dryness of the skin and hair. Kali sulph. assists (with another cell salt, Ferrum phos.) in the oxygenation of skin cells, and is the lubricant that keeps the body machinery functioning. A deficiency of Kali sulph. can cause eczema, dandruff, psoriasis, or any diseases where there has been a rash or scaling of the skin..
Kalium Sulphate(Potassium Sulphate ) is recommended in dermal problems (psoriasis, eczema, alopecia) and for problems in the epithelial cells. Potassium Sulphate is mostly used for skin ailments, this salt, found mostly in the tissues of the skin, mucous membranes, throat, and lungs, has many uses. Useful for all bronchial and sinus complaints, as well as oily skin, athlete’s foot, moving pains, excess sweat, this salt is also indicated in the late stages of all inflammations.
8. Magnesium Phosphoricum (Mag Phos)
NERVE NUTRIENT – ANTI-SPASMODIC – GENERAL PAINKILLER
Rising or Sun Sign: Leo
Ruling: HEART
FIXED VITAL Force, Male, Hot
Sun Ruler: Lazy Sluggish System with Strong constitution
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. Magnesium Phosphate is best taken with hot Water. Found in beer and cereals. Note a craving for beer may mean a deficiency of Mag. Phos. It is a constituent of bone, teeth, white matter of brain tissue, nerve, muscle and blood cells. Used for headaches with darting stabs of pain, muscular twitching, rheumatic pains, throat spasms, muscle cramps, hiccoughs, squinting, teething, hypertrophy of the prostate gland, colic, asthma, spasmodic palpitation of the heart, spasmodic yawning, menstrual pain, stomach cramps, flatulence, neuralgia, sciatica, insomnia from brain exhaustion and in profuse sweating.
Magnesium phosphate is the cell salt for Leo. Physiologically, Leo rules the heart, upper back, diaphragm and cardiac system. Magnesium has recently been identified in allopathic medicine as a critical mineral for the prevention of heart attacks. In naturopathic medicine, the cell salt Mag phos. has a long-standing tradition of use in situations involving cramp, convulsions, spasms or paralysis. Mag phos. is the great anti-pain salt, a natural aspirin without side effects, and is indicated in all conditions of cramp and spasm–headaches, angina, neuralgia’s, menstrual cramps, even the bronchial spasms of an acute asthma attack. Magnesium Phosphate is recommended in the convulsions, in cramps and in epileptic crises. Magnesium Phosphate is remarkable cell salt has an affinity for the nerves, muscles, and heart. It is excellent for cramps of all types, shooting pains, spasms, neuralgia, angina, colic, convulsions, and general pain. Curiously, flatulence can indicate a deficiency of Mag Phos. Along with Kali Phos., this is the principal nerve remedy. Women should always have a bottle nearby in case of painful menstrual cramps.
9. Natrum Muriaticum (Nat Mur)
WATER DISTRIBUTOR
Rising or Sun Sign: Aquarius
Ruling: ANKLES
FIXED VITAL Force, Neutral, Medium
Uranus Rulers: Gifted Sensitive, Empathic
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 for conditions that are coupled with symptoms of extreme thirst, emotional sensitivity, and a strong desire for salt. Target Ailments are for 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.
A constituent of every liquid and solid in the body. A salt craving is indicative of deficiency, but the molecules of table salt are so big they cannot attach to the cells. It is the most important cell salt of the body as all the other cells are dependent on it for their distribution. Used for delirium tremors, eyestrain, vomiting of watery mucous, hay fever, low spirits, heartburn, toothaches, craving for salt and salty foods, weak eyes, either excess of heavy sleep or insomnia, falling hair, early morning headaches, headaches with constipation, chronic constipation due to dehydration, rapid pulse intermittent with palpitation, hangnails, cracked finger tips, numbness of the hands and feet and greasy skin.
Natrum muriaticum is the cell salt of Aquarius. Nat mur. has the effect of attracting or drawing away water from affected parts of the body, to redistribute it wherever it is needed. Symptoms of insufficient Nat mur. are watery colds, dryness or excessive salivation of the mouth, constipation, malaria, even herpes or any watery blisters on the skin or mucus membranes. Aquarius rules the blood and circulation, the ankles, the spinal cord, and the electrical force of the nerves. Nat mur. supports the smooth and even flow of electricity through and across the nerves. Lack of Nat mur. can cause sleeplessness and prevent proper nerve synapse firing–with consequent learning and speaking difficulties and intermittent nerve pains.
Natrium Muriaticum is mainly recommended in the nervous disturbances, respiratory, peptic, and in depressing and hypocondriac. Sodium Chloride (abbrev. Nat Mur) Sodium chloride, salt, is the water distributor of the body. It is part of every fluid and solid in the body. Consequently, any condition involving too much dryness or too much moisture indicates Nat Mur. Edema usually responds well to Nat Mur, as do headaches, chronic diarrhea, hay fever, watery eyes, and dry, flaky skin.
10. Natrum Phosphoricum (Nat Phos)
ACID NEUTRALIZER
Rising or Sun Sign: Libra
Ruling: LIVER, KIDNEYS
MAGNETIC FORCE, Male, Medium
Venus Rulers: Sluggish, Mind Wanders
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. Found in blood, muscles, nerves and brain cells and in intracellular fluid. Converts lactic acid into its byproducts. Used for gout, stiffness, swollen joints, lumbago, inflammatory rheumatism, high cholesterol, acid blood, headaches on top of the head, sour breath, pain over and inside the eyeballs, red blotched tongue coated yellow at the root, nausea, loss of appetite and habitual constipation. NAT PHOS.(Sodium phosphate) is the Libra cell salt. Libra rules the kidneys and lower back, and the acid/alkaline balance of the body. Nat phos. prevents excess acidity or alkalinity, especially in the bloodstream. It assists the kidneys in their function and is used to treat gout, kidney stones, ulcers and stomach acidity. Emotionally Nat phos. is helpful in restoring emotional equilibrium, especially after mental exertion, or exposure to extremely stressful or tense environments. Natrium Phosphate is advised in diseases that are characterized from hyper virulence of the excretions, the urine, intestinal excretions , the vomiting and the sweat. Sodium Phosphate is the biochemic acid balancer. All conditions of acidosis respond well to this salt. Needless to say, heart burn, dyspepsia, and other digestive upsets indicate Nat Phos. Nat Phos. is also the remedy of choice for intestinal worms and other parasites. Excess acid in the body is a prime indicator of disease. If you detect an overly acid pH in either your saliva or urine (6.4 is the ideal. Use pH paper, available at drug stores, to test for saliva or urine pH.), Nat Phos., along with more fresh fruits and vegetables, can help correct this.
11. Natrum Sulphuricum (Nat Sulph)
EXCESS WATER ELIMINATOR – LIVER CLEANSER
Rising or Sun Sign: Taurus
Ruling: NECK, EARS, THROAT, NOSE
FIXED VITAL Force, Female,Medium
Venus Ruler: Sluggish Sensations, Overeats, Overindulgence
An imbalance of sodium sulphate produces edema in the tissues, dry skin with watery eruptions, poor bile and pancreas activity, headaches, and gouty symptoms. Found in the intercellular fluids (the fluid between each cell). Draws water out of the cells helping them to breakdown to be recycled. Used for influenza, humid asthma, malaria, liver ailments, vesicular eruptions containing serum, herpes, twitching of hands and feet, constipation, liver and kidney disorders, gallbladder troubles, earache, burning in nose and mouth, brownish green coating of the tongue, bitter taste in the mouth, enlarged prostate and awakening at night with asthma attacks. Sodium sulfate is the Taurus cell salt and the first to use when a person born under Taurus becomes ill. Its main function is to remove excess fluids from the body. It is one of the most important salts affecting the digestive organs. The bile of the liver, pancreatic juices and secretions of the kidneys are all regulated by Nat sulph. A deficiency of Nat sulph. is shown by symptoms such as tiredness and sluggishness upon waking, gall stones, constipation and jaundice. Complaints caused or aggravated by living in damp conditions, such as rheumatism or asthma, benefit from use of this cell salt. Taurus rules the throat, tonsils, thyroid, lower jaw and metabolic system. Colds and sore throats occur with increased frequency when the digestive organs are not functioning harmoniously. Their tendency to recur with every minor stress can be eliminated with Nat sulph.
Natrium Sulphate is recommended in the easy expulsion of liquids. Its action is recommended also for the vessels, the liver, the kidneys, the skin and the pancreas. Sodium Sulphate has an affinity for the inter cellular fluids, liver, pancreas, bile, intestines, and descending colon. Important for proper digestion and liver function, Nat Sulph. is used for yellow, watery secretions, light sensitivity, gas, biliousness, migraines, asthma, and green vomit. Along with Calc. Sulph., it has a profound action on the liver. Along with Nat Mur., this salt is excellent for edema or any type of watery swelling in the body.

Silica is the cell salt for those born under the sign of Sagittarius. It is of use whenever there is pus to be discharged, such as in boils, abscesses or splinters. Taking silica after surgery helps minimize scar formation, and can assist the body to expel foreign objects such as splinters. Sagittarius rules the liver, hips, thighs, sciatic nerve and autonomic nervous system. Sagittarians under stress use up their Silica, leaving themselves prone to chronic problems involving liver function or hip degeneration later on in life. Silica is an important constituent of the cells of the connective tissue and the epidermis, of the bones, teeth, even the lens of the eye. Inadequate silica can make the teeth susceptible to decay, the hair dull and the nails brittle.
Silica is recommended in the inflammations [cleansing], in rachitis, in headaches, in bronchitis, in bronchial asthma. Silica is called the homeopathic surgeon for its ability to help the body throw off nonfunctional organic matter, Silica is a basic nutrient to the hair, skin, and nails.
