Facial Diagnosis of Cell Salt Deficiencies: A User's Guide

Rate this book
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.

This book contains excellent information about the cell salts individually as well as pictures of the various effects of deficiencies on the face. It is a must have book. I marked it four instead of five stars because some of the pictures are incorrectly placed, and much of the important writing is taken, credited, from another source, therefore is not original. That is not a complaint; I'm glad the information was brought to me through the facial diagnosis bait. I have recommended the book in my blog post, Feed Your Face. https://panaceaprime.blogspot.com/201...

Page 27 - This wonderful little book helped me to discover that Bright's disease *(Associated with MicroAlbuminuria in diabetes mellitus conditions and pathologies) may relate to some cell salt deficiencies, in some cases. *Speculative*

This is important to me as I have Type one Diabeties and Hypothyroidism, so this may work as a preventative towards MicroAlbuminuria along with good blood pressure control).

Love this book for it's large photos. These added to the easy-to-understand descriptions of the cell salts makes it easy diagnose mineral deficiencies. There is also enough written material to understand how each mineral/cell salt is at work in our helping our body function and remain healthy. This is especially helpful to me, since I had little understanding of that. I could do without the astrology connection.

I thought this book was really informative and will be useful. I wish the table at the end had been more complete. Lots was addressed in the writing that wasn’t addressed there. Also would have liked some
More detailed info on if you are deficient in multiple salts how to incorporate them and what about taking a remedy with all at once. But overall an excellent resource.
