Cell Salts for healthier skin
Let’s face it – our healthy eating and sleep habits fluctuate with the amount of stress in our lives. Our body, deprived of the proper nutrients it needs to maintain healthy looking skin can often result in acne, dry skin, eczema flare-ups, or various other skin conditions.
We end up feeling dehydrated, our skin inflamed with puffy eyes. During these times we can be taking the best quality supplements and even eating the best nutrient dense foods; however, our body is just not able to breakdown or assimilate the nutrients.
Taking cell salts is one of the safest and easiest ways to supplement our mineral deficiencies all the while correcting our eating habits and utilizing proper stress management techniques.
What are tissue (cell) salts?
Cell salts are made from 12 homeopathically prepared minerals. They were discovered in the 19th century for their powerful effects in correcting symptoms stemming from cellular imbalances and mineral deficiencies.
When you take a cell salt you are supplying your body with the essential micro-nutrients that enable your body to rebuild itself on a cellular level; and because they are prepared homeopathically, they are much more easily absorbed by our cells than from typical supplements or even our foods. Weakened cells must receive the mineral they need in a minute/homeopathic dose – bypassing the digestive system to overcome the cell’s inability to absorb the nutrients from digestion alone.
Dr. Schuessler, a 19-th century German physician discovered that when reduced to ash there are 12 minerals available in each cell and tissue essential to body`s metabolism. When these vital tissue salts are in the correct ratio or concentration, the body is healthy. When the tissue salts ratio is disturbed it prohibits the cells from performing their natural cell functions resulting in illness.
Cells form the foundation of our entire body from epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue – our skin, teeth, bone, nails, and more! Cell salts help zero-in on and target the function of cells where there is improper assimilation of minerals. Think about it – if we can support healthy cellular function/activity we can strengthen and support the health of our bones, nails, hair, joints, heart, nerves and so much more!
Tissue salts for healthier skin:
- Calcium Fluoride (Calc. fluor.): is a tissue strengthener that improves skin elasticity and can be helpful in improving varicose veins and hemorrhoids.
- Calcium Sulphate (Calc. sulph.): Its function is an eliminator of waste materials and purifier of the blood. Can be helpful when you have boils, moist or dry exzema, herpetic pustules or other eruptions. Calc. Sulph. can help eruptions quickly resolve after they have come to a head.
- Sodium Chloride (Natrum mur.): is often called the fluid balancer. It hydrates the skin regulating the passage of fluids through the cells.
- Silica: fortifies nails and increases collagen formation thus reducing wrinkles. Helps the epidermis eliminate wastes. Silica hastens the suppuration of wounds and abscesses. Can be helpful in many skin problems like acne, itchy skin to dandruff and splitting fingernails. When your skin is dry and brittle and your hands are always chapped silica is indicated.
Frank has worked extensively in the mental health field as a homeopath, biofeedback and neurofeedback specialist. He facilitates a deep connection to well-being integrating unresolved trauma and through his practice supports individuals in moving from contraction to expansion, from limitation to freedom.
Soon after Frank began studying Homeopathy he contracted Lymes Disease. Having no health insurance at the time became a blessing because he very quickly learned to test and rely on homeopathy as the effective alternative medical practice it is. After becoming symptom free, Frank practiced Biofeedback and Neurofeedback therapy for 5+ years at the The Gedroic Medical Institute in Morristown, NJ and the Psychiatry Center in Clifton, NJ where he treated individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, psychological disorders, Lymes disease, and various physical conditions like IBS, Asthma, etc.
Now practicing in Bloomfield, NJ he uses homeopathic medicine to resolve recurring ailments and long-standing conditions by addressing the underlying root cause of unwellness that manifests as a seemingly unrelated complex of mental, emotional, or physical symptoms. In his biofeedback & reiki practice he supports individuals in developing the skills to mindfully manage stress, nourish the self and break unconscious patterns.
