Cell salts are specific connections between 2 minerals, one of which is positively charged and the other negatively charged, which means they attract each other and form a stable couple. Our cells need these salts, just like vitamins, to function properly. Our cells use these salts to be able to process the stresses they encounter of any kind, such as: stress, viruses, pollution, etc. If a shortage of cell salts occurs due to overload, the cell can no longer recover and is no longer able to perform its function, and a pathological situation arises (Schüssler 1874). To resolve this pathological situation, the cell needs cell salts.
Normally, we obtain the necessary cell salts through our food. But then our food must be of good quality and we must chew our food very well, because the cell salts from our food only remain cell salts if they enter the bloodstream via the oral mucosa. As soon as cell salts enter the stomach, they are broken down into simple minerals by our stomach acid.
A shortage of cell salts occurs in our time due to 3 causes:
1. Our food contains less and less cell salts due to the depletion of the soil, which means that vegetables and fruit contain less and less cell salts.
2. Our lives have become increasingly hectic and stressful, which means that our cells need more and more cell salts to continue to function healthily.
3. We eat more and more processed food and chewing our food carefully is no longer in keeping with the times, everything has to be quick and easy.
