Originated by Dr.W H. Schuessler the biochemic system of medicine is a rational and natural method of healing, suitable for the treatment of simple everyday ailments. Biochemic tissue salts are safe for all the family and animals, even plants can benefit. The use of these cell-salts is by no means new in medicine as they have been known and used for centuries. But the recognition of their true worth as medicines and their functions in the tissues and organs of the body is of recent origin. Although the biochemic salts are administered in tiny amounts likened to homeopathic remedies, their method of preparation and principles of administration are different. However the 12 biochemic tissue salts are known to invoke the same remedial effects as their homeopathic counterparts. Symptoms of illness are guidelines as to which tissue salt is required to bring the body back to normal function. Biochemics work well with other treatments and therapy.
