The Schuessler biochemic cell salts are homeopathically dynamised mineral salts.
All these mineral salts are found in the tissue of the human body. Therefore these mineral salts are called "cell salts" or "tissue salts".
The most important cell salts are the wellknown twelve basic cell salts. They were developed by Dr. Schüssler himself.
These 12 basic cell salts are available in a lot of countries worldwide.
His pupils developed additional fifteen cell salts. They were discovered after Dr. Schuesslers lifetime as a part of the body. These salts are called addiational or supplement cell salts. Three of these supplement salts came even later than the salts from 13 to 24 and, hence, are not recognised by all practitioners.
The additional cell salts (No. 13 to 24) can't be found everywhere. In some countries (i.e. USA) there are only few vendors who offer them.
12 Basic cell salts
Twelve basic cell salts are the base of the biochemical treatment.They were developed by Dr. Schüssler.

15 Additional cell salts
The other mineral salts which are available as so-called additional cell salts were discovered one after the other by the followers of Dr. Schuessler.These additional salts are applied like the basic cell salts, but for special uses.
In the meantime, there are 15 additional cell salts, by which twelve are quite wellknown especially in Germany.
