Dr. Welhelm Heinrich Schuessler (1821-1898), a German physician, discovered 12 essential mineral salts combinations for the treatment of many ailments.   The Greek word "Bios" means life, and "Chemistry" is a branch in natural science that deals with the qualities, composition and the alteration of sbustances and their combinations.  Biochemistry is therefore the "Chemistry of Life".  Biochemic Therapy is based on the fact that a living organism contains a certain number of mineral substances essential to life, found in the blood and inside the cells of all organs. Each mineral salt influences organs and their functions, and in our organism they are found as inorganic components, indispensible for all body functions.  *They guarantee the nourishment of the cells. *They give healing signals and assist the cells     with a better utilsation of the nutrients from     the food. *As acatalyst they make sure that the cells   function well and purposefully.
