Abstract
Schussler’s 12 tissue remedies are the minerals that were first introduced by Dr. Schussler. They are helpful in maintaining the proper cell functioning and provide support to the body’s health by regulating cell tissue salt level. These tissue remedies are formulated by adding a minimal amount of tissue salt. These biochemic remedies may be compared to vitamins just like deficiency of specific vitamins will cause symptoms, similarly deficiency of these tissue salts likely to cause disease pathology or particular symptoms.
Homoeopathic medicine Kali sulphuricum is prepared from potassium sulphate. It offers great help in managing various skin complaints like, psoriasis, eczema, dandruff(seborrhoea), and cold
Introduction
The Biochemic medicines is a system of medicine that was proposed by Dr. Schussler in 1873.This theory is based on the fact that a standard amount of organic and inorganic constituents defines the natural activity, structure, and vitality of the cell. These biochemic tissue salts help in maintaining the equilibrium and balance the molecular activity in the cell.
According to Dr. Schuessler, any fluctuation especially, deficiency in the amount of tissue salts, will cause the disease conditions. This kind of disturbed equilibrium and balance can be rectified by administering the same mineral salt in small quantities. Thus, by supplying defeciencies the harmony in the cell and vitality in living tissue is maintained.
