A healthy diet will generally supply the body with sufficient mineral salts. Food contains minerals in an organically bound form and metabolism “unlocks” them. Without sufficient mineral salts in the body, cellular activity will be greatly restricted or even impossible. Inferior food, changes in the way of living and high pollution levels have played their part in greatly increasing everybody’s mineral salt requirements today.
To achieve optimal results, Dr. Schuessler, the founder of biochemical cell salt therapy, administered the individual mineral salts found in the body in molecular form. The salts were produced in accordance with homoeopathic grinding procedures (trituration), making easy absorption by the cells possible.
Kurt Hickthier took up Schuessler’s basic thoughts in this field and in 1910, untiringly and with great zeal, he began to conduct research into the concept of facial diagnostics. Facial diagnostics cannot be compared to other types of diagnosis. The method has a different approach since the main focus is on identifying the mineral substance deficiencies in the blood and cells. – There is no need to worry about the illness or its symptoms – the prescription is written in the face.
Every single mineral salt deficiency in the body expresses itself by way of certain alterations on the facial skin. Hickethier identified 24 different diagnostic signs in the face which are reliable indicators of a specific mineral salt deficiency. Thereupon, the organism is administered the corresponding minerals under the biochemical healing method and all bodily functions are put in a position to regulate themselves in an optimal manner, the patient thus returning to health.
Most cell salt therapy requires the cell salts to be taken several times a day, using a saturation method to allow minerals to become balanced . The facial analysis can change as the mineral balance begins to work itself out and then expresses through the facial skin.
