Schüssler-Salts for Fat-Burning
If you want to lose weight you should focus above all on regular exercise and a healthy, calorie-conscious diet. But it often happens that success in losing weight fails or weight reduction stagnates. One reason could be the lack of essential mineral salts, which can slow down metabolism or cause hunger attacks.
Find out which Schüssler-Salts compensate the deficiency and may support you in weight-loss:
- No. 3 Ferrum phosphate 12X – Has a stimulating effect on the metabolism, cleansing effect on the blood, and strengthens the muscles.
- No. 4 Potassium chloride 6X – Soothes ravenous hunger, assists the body in the decomposition of toxins and waste products, and strengthens circulation.
- No. 5 Potassium phosphate 6X – Well suited to support nerves, blood and connective tissue, and for the general strengthening of the body.
- No. 7 Magnesium phosphate 6X – Generally loosening and relieving effect on body and soul. It also benefits digestion, in so far that it helps with a moderate approach to eating and the acceptance of the new dietary situation.
- No. 9 Sodium phosphate 6X – Releases acids from the tissue and thus has a de-acidifying effect on the entire body. Negative thoughts are also “dispersed”.
- No. 10 Sodium sulphate 6X – Has a stimulating effect on the excretory organs such as liver, kidney, large intestine and gall. This provides for an optimal support in the excretion of “superfluities”.
3- to 6-weeks Intensive Treatment with Schüssler-Salts
One option to enhance successful weight-loss is the following three to six weeks course of treatment:
Step I:
To begin the treatment, so best in the morning of the day when starting this three to six weeks course of treatment, prepare yourself a hot Schüssler drink (similar to the “Hot 7”). Place 3 tablets of each of No. 4 Potassium chloride, No. 9 Sodium phosphate and No. 10 Sodium sulphate in a cup and top up with hot water. Allow tablets to completely dissolve then slowly sip the drink, whilst keeping each sip in the mouth for a few moments. This allows a better absorption via the oral mucosa.
This way your body receives a high dose of supportive minerals straight from the beginning.
Step II:
From this day onward, for three days, take one tablet of each Schüssler-Salts No. 4, No. 9 and No. 10 – six times a day for (= 6 tablets of each). Tablets should be allowed to dissolved in the mouth, and after each administration make sure to drink a glass of water to ensure easy excretion of released toxins.
Step III:
After the first three days take one tablet of No. 4 Potassium chloride, No. 9 Sodium phosphate and No. 10 Sodium sulphate each day for the following three to six weeks (depending how long your personal course of treatment should last).
Additionally:
Schüssler-Salts No. 3 Ferrum phosphate, No. 5 Potassium phosphate and No. 7 Magnesium phosphate can be administered according to your individual needs.
Schüssler-Cream:
For an enhanced weight-loss success and as a supplementation, it is recommended to use Schüssler-Cream/Lotion No. 1 Calcium fluoride externally. Apply this cream to your problem areas both at night before going to bed and in the morning after getting up – massage the cream/lotion into the areas until fully absorbed by the skin.
It is very important to drink plenty of water for the accruing toxins to be excreted from the body!

No longer Circulation Problems
Help with Problems on Hot Days & Tips against Heat
High temperatures make it difficult to stabilize circulation. Find out how to keep a cool head on hot days and manage circulation problems in hot weather.
In summer, especially on extremely hot days, many people experience circulatory problems. The cause is simple: When it’s too hot, our body’s cooling mechanism is overwhelmed and reacts with symptoms such as dizziness, headache, perspiration and low blood pressure. These symptoms should never be ignored! Usually, sweating helps to cool down. But even our body’s own air conditioner has its limits in certain temperatures and we perspire too much and thus lose too many nutrients – the eternal battle with the circulation starts.
So that you are fit in summer and the heat doesn’t bother you, here are a few tips for a stable circulation in high temperatures.
The best Tips for a steady Circulation on Hot Days
- Drink at least between three and four litres of water each day, because you lose more water than usual through heat and lots of perspiration.
- Too heavy meals also put a strain on the body, thus delicious salads with lots of vitamins are terrific meals. In addition, avoid alcohol, as this further extracts fluid and minerals
- Air only mornings and night, when it is still cool. During the day keep blinds, curtains closed to keep the sun out. And, breathable clothing made of natural fibres also helps to stay cool.
- Avoid severe physical efforts like sports, as this increases the body temperature.
- Tip for Emergencies: Application of ice cold water to the wrists or a cold foot bath chills down the body and caters for a clear head. When nothing helps the only solution is: Go to the pool and chill.
For general stabilization and strengthening of the circulation, Schüssler-Salts No. 3 Ferrum phosphate 12X and No. 5 Potassium phosphate 6X are recommended.
Tooth Decay – Which Salts can assist?
Tooth decay, or caries, not only infects adult teeth but unfortunately, milk teeth in children are also often affected.
In addition to the inevitable visit to the dentist, the following Schüssler-Salts have a positive effect on the dental enamel and the nature of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. Therefore, they can therefore counteract tooth decay.
Salts can easily be taken in form of tablets, drops, or globules – always dissolve minerals in the mouth.
Oral hygiene is paramount.
- Don’t go to bed without brushing your teeth – Brushing before bed gets rid of the germs and plaque that accumulate throughout the day. Brush at least twice a day.
- Brush properly – Move the toothbrush in gentle, circular motions to remove plaque.
- Don’t neglect your tongue – Gently brush your tongue every time you brush your teeth.
- Use a fluoride toothpaste – While fluoride has come under scrutiny by those worried about how it impacts other areas of health, this substance remains a mainstay in oral health. This is because fluoride is a leading defence against tooth decay. It works by fighting germs that can lead to decay, as well as providing a protective barrier for your teeth.
- Flossing – Flossing once a day is usually enough to reap these benefits.
- Consider a mouthwash – Ask your dentist for specific mouthwash recommendations. Certain brands are best for children, and those with sensitive teeth.
- Drink plenty of water – Water is the best beverage for your overall health — including oral health. Also, as a rule of thumb, it is recommended to drink water after every meal. This can help wash out some of the negative effects of sticky and acidic foods and beverages in between brushes.
- Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables – Eating fresh, crunchy produce not only contains more healthy fibre, but it’s also the best choice for your teeth.
- Limit sugary and acidic foods – Ultimately, sugar converts into acid in the mouth, which can then erode the enamel of your teeth. These acids are what lead to cavities. Acidic fruits, teas, and coffee can also wear down tooth enamel. No need to avoid such foods altogether, but it doesn’t hurt to be mindful.
- See your dentist at least twice a year

Happy Birthday Dr Schüssler
If Schüssler was still alive he would celebrate his 200th birthday on 21st August. It is thanks to him that we are able to draw on his Mineral Therapy and support our physical and psychological well-being today.
The discovery and currency of Schüssler-Salts over 130 years ago is owed to three further scientists besides Dr Schüssler. The annals already start well before 1873…
From Research of the Cell to the Holistic Therapy
These four scientists laid the foundation of today’s natural medicine with Schüssler-Salts.
Professor Dr Rudolf Virchow (1821 – 1902)
The pathologist at the Charité in Berlin explored the smallest unit in the human body – the Cell. In 1858 he made the revolutionary discovery of “Cellular Pathology”, which implies that diseases are due to dysfunctions of the cells. This insight cast doubt on the entire medicinal knowledge. It lead to a new perception of disease and healing. This was the basis of Dr Schüssler’s Mineral Therapy.
Jacob Molschott (1822 – 1893)
The Dutch psychologist ascertained the importance of mineral salts for the function of the human organism. Amongst others he dwelt upon the research of the metabolism and accomplished essential contributions to blood physiology of the human being. In his work “Cycle of Life” he referred to the power and effect of mineral salts in the natural cycle of nature.
Dr Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler (1821 – 1898)
The doctor and homoeopath developed his new therapy from the knowledge of the cell and the importance of the mineral salts. He was impressed by the insights of Rudolf Virchow – he was in particular fascinated by the connection between disturbed cell functions and illnesses. Following his own research, he founded the mineral therapy, named after him, which he called “Biochemistry”.
Dr Willmar Schwabe (1839 – 1917)
During Schüssler’s time, the pharmacist and scientist Willmar Schwabe already produced mineral salts of the highest quality for a large clientele. Thus he laid the foundation for the standardisation of high-quality compounding.
The TWELVE vital Minerals
Mineral salts are vital for our body. They are required for numerous biochemic processes, are indispensable for the cell structure and information brokerage from cell to cell.

Listen to your Body
We all know – Sometimes we feel imbalanced. One reason could be that our metabolism got mixed up. Mineral Therapy according to Dr Schüssler focuses on the natural functions of our body and is able to support the realignment of our physical and psychological well-being.
A healthy lifestyle does not only incorporate adequate exercise, balanced diet, sufficient regeneration, or meditation. Health is not only the absence of pain and disease, but includes our entire physical and emotional well-being. But nevertheless we sometimes demand far more of our body than it is used to or in fact is good. For instance prolonged sitting or stress at work, poor diet, too little or even too much training, etc.
Why don’t we think more sustainable where our body and health is concerned? By tuning into the first signals one is able to strengthen one’s forces and therefore not only treat symptoms but at the same time the cause of health problems. However, a vital aspect is an optimal mineral metabolism in the cells. Because: A functional and healthy cell metabolism reflects in our entire personality.
Sometimes the mineral metabolism and thus the body’s own equilibrium gets muddled. We can either ride the low out, or actively counteract by assisting the body in its self-healing process.
This is exactly the principle of Dr Schüssler-s Mineral Therapy – It brings the body with its natural functions into focus, aims at its strengthening and the stimulation of the organism’s self-healing forces. And this simply can be achieved with the 12 Mineral Salts.
Well prepared for the Cold Season
In the cold season, a balanced mineral metabolism is the be-all and end-all in order to be well prepared. Here our ‘Immune System Fortification’ treatment with the following Schüssler-Salts is a good tip:
● No. 3 Ferrum phosphoricum 12X – The salt of the Immune system
● No. 8 Sodium chloratum 6X – The salt of the Fluid balance
● No. 10 Sodium sulfuricum 6X – The salt of Excretion
Well prepared
Outside it is wet and cold, inside dry heating air burdens us. Now you are well prepared with Schüssler-Salt No. 3, the salt of the immune system. Try the soothing and intense “Hot 3”. Simply dissolve 10 tablets of Ferrum phosphoricum in hot water and drink in small sips. Regular hand washing also helps to protect yourself from infection. Stressed skin benefits from the care with Schüssler-Salt cream No. 1 Calcium fluoride; without fragrances and phenoxyethanol.
