The condition of facial skin is a primary indicator of overall bodily
health. Deficiencies in diet and metabolism, together with disease
conditions, are easily observed in the face, if one knows what to look
for. This book is about how to "read the face" to determine which
essential cell salts (also known as tissue salts) are lacking in the
body. When a diagnosis is determined, the patient can then remedy that
condition by supplementing with the proper cell-salt.
Cell salts (tissue salts) exist in every human body. These are the
inorganic biochemical elements found in the blood and tissues. They are
the builders and the catalysts for many essential processes. For
example, most people may have heard of potassium chloride, but few
realize that it is a tissue salt (cell salt) essential to the digestive
process. This salt unites with hydrogen to form HCL (hydrochloric acid),
aids in the production of bile, serves as an alkalizer, and helps in
digestive enzyme formation. Therefore, it is a dynamic component of
health.
Twelve cell salts were identified in the 1850s by European scientists,
and this knowledge was soon added to the materia medica of physicians
and practitioners throughout Europe. Today, homeopathic practitioners
and naturopathic doctors in the United States and other countries are
beginning to revive the use of cell salt supplementation in successfully
treating a spectrum of disease conditions.
This book instructs the practitioner, or the patient, in:
- How to Read the Face: This book, complete with illustrations, guides
the practitioner in what to look for in the face. Such cues as skin
color, condition of eyebrows, size and color of lips, musculature of the
face, blemishes and inflammations, the circles around or under the eyes,
and many other characteristics, betray the excesses and deficiencies at
work in the body.
- How to Use Cell Salts: Detailed explanations are given to each of the
twelve cell salts, which interestingly correspond to the twelve signs of
the zodiac. Extensive lists are supplied of various disease or imbalance
conditions that can be helped by cell salt supplementation.
