To say it in advance: Schüßler salts are NOT salty! They are tasteless, but contain lactose, which is to be considered in lactose intolerance.
Schüßler salts are an alternative cure that should not be dismissed from the outset that homeopathy is humbug. Dr. Schuessler rejected the principle of homeopathy, the same / like to combat with the same principle, and relied on chemical / physiological processes. The effect of homeopathy and biochemistry is fundamentally different.
Homeopathy uses thousands of remedies. Schüßler only twelve.
It is up to anyone to be negative or positive. I z. B. trust in conventional medicine, but I'm still the Schuessler salts?
What are Schüßler salts?
Dr. Schuessler examined twelve minerals for their presence in the human body and found that organ disorders are often based on a deficiency of various minerals. He prescribed minerals that should stimulate the body to increase the absorption of minerals.
The right dosage
For acute symptoms, one tablet should be taken every 5 to 15 minutes. For children, toddlers and infants apply different dosages, these should be clarified or read beforehand.
The right intake
Schuessler tablets are slowly melted in the mouth (tasteless), so that they can be absorbed through the oral mucosa. (Exception is the "Hot Seven ?, I'll come to that later).
This should be done a few minutes before or after the meal, so that the intake is not affected.
