SUPER NUTRITION FOR BABY

If you are a fan of Homeopathy then you are probably already familiar with cell salts, also referred to as tissue salts. If not, let’s start at the beginning.

That is exactly what cell salts are the beginning of all life (and the end). The human body is made up of only a dozen inorganic compounds, or mineral salts. They are in fact, what remains after the body is cremated. They are the building blocks of all inorganic life, whether it be animals, mammals or plants.

The only difference from one species to another is how the same group of mineral salts comes together. If the mineral elements are out of balance, then the entire life form is out of balance.

In the human body mineral salts form the life core of its functions. They shift fluids, raise and lower blood pressure, cause the stability of bones, fire nerve endings, make muscles contract and keep order in the brain. Without cell salts there would be no life.

When these inorganic substances present in the blood and tissues are balanced, then they are capable of carrying out the major regulatory functions of the body, including removal of toxins and disease causing agents.

The body’s defense mechanisms usually keep the body cells naturally in balance, however, improper diet and processed food; lack of exercise and modern-day stress can create a tissue salt imbalance or deficiency. Through use of the appropriate tissue remedies the cells are brought back into proper balance. This results in normal body functions.

There are twelve Cell Salts that when used accordingly as nutritional supplements can ensure optimal health maintenance.

Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler (1821–1898) was a medical doctor and Homeopath from Oldenburg, Germany. While studying the ash of cremated corpses he discovered the twelve inorganic compounds, or mineral salts. They are:

• Calcium Phosphate
• Calcium Fluoride
• Calcium Sulphate
• Sodium Chloride
• Silicic Acid (Silica)
• Potassium Chloride
• Potassium Sulphate
• Potassium Phosphate
• Magnesium Phosphate
• Iron Phosphate
• Sodium Sulphate
• Sodium Phosphate

Pregnancy is an opportune time to make sure your baby is nourished in all the ways possible to ensure a healthy baby. Doctors will suggest pre-natal vitamins and other elements important to your particular situation. Very few, however, are aware of the use of cell salts in the health of the fetus.
