Fascinating! Between 1872 and 1898 it was again discovered that inorganic matter essential to health comprised 12 mineral tissue salts: Calc Fluor, Calc Phos, Calc Sulph, Ferr Phos, Kali Mur, Kali Phos, Kali Sulph, Mag Phos, Nat Mur, Nat Phos, Nat Sulph and Silica. A deficiency in any of these led to weakened cell structure and ill health. When a deficiency is corrected, the cells again functioned normally and health was restored. Since then many works have been created about Cell Salts along with their primary use in hospitals in Germany.

Locate your zodiac sign on the chart below. Trace your zodiac sign to the corresponding cell salt. You have now found the cell salt you are deficient in. Check this link to learn more about Biochemical Cell Salts and the health and balance they can bring to the body. Cell Salt Kits. There are multiple uses for the other cell salts too. If you experience certain symptoms linked with the various salts you are probably deficient in that salt as well.

Under tremendous emotional stress, people use more of the cell salt associated with their moon sign and south node of the Moon. When the body becomes depleted in this salt, people experience symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression and fearfulness about even simple daily circumstances. Use of the cell salt related to the Moon sign will restore their sense of safety and emotional resilience. In the first seven years of life, when the Moon is the most influential planet, lunar cell salts are the most appropriate choice as a tonic. For specific health problems, take both the salt of the Moon and the salt that pertains to the specific condition.
