Biography
Eva F. Schoenfeld was born in Switzerland. She has a degree in Business Management and successfully operated her own Event Organization company running major sporting events.
Due to health problems, she started studying different healing arts. This led her on a path where she studied in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the USA. She also practised what she learnt in holistic centres (not only on human beings, but also animals) in Switzerland, Germany and Spain. She is a certified Facial Analyst and Tissue Salt Consultant (Biochemistry), Jin Shin Jyutsu® Practitioner, Esalen® Massage Practitioner and Reiki Master and teacher.
Since 2005 she has lived in South Africa where she runs the Academy of Tissue Salts and Facial Analysis.
Referring to Tissue Salts, Eva tells as many people as possible, ‘They saved my life’, and so her passion for the salts led her to help hundreds of clients. It was this same passion that inspired her to write this book. Eva wants to tell as many people as possible about the amazing healing effects of Tissue Salts.
Acknowledgments
I wish to express my gratitude to Thomas Feichtinger (Biochemical Association Austria), the real father of this book. He taught me about Tissue Salts and Facial Analysis. I thank him for his contribution.
Foreword
Driven by her passion to help as many as possible, and inspired by what she herself had learnt of the value of this system of therapeutics, Eva F. Schoenfeld was motivated to write this inspiring treatise on Nature’s dynamic healing remedies, the biochemical Tissue Salts, as introduced to the world by the creative genius of Dr W H Schuessler.
Every one of these inorganically-sourced remedies is supplied in organic and natural state and form in the vegetables and fruit we eat. They are natural and essential constituents of the normal, healthy growth and life of organic beings. But as Eva so eloquently discusses – in our present day we are exposed to an environment which is almost universally contaminated. By having to depend for our nourishment upon foods grown in soils rendered nutrient deficient, it is almost inevitable that we will experience dis-ease, disabilities and a whole gamut of psychosomatic ailments.
Not only do the twelve essential Tissue Salts treat and benefit the body with their biochemical healing properties, when correctly manufactured (according to the strict and precise requirements of homoeopathic trituration), they also contain the homeopathically-produced vibrational quantum energy embedded in them. This time and effort demanding pharmaceutical operation may legitimately be executed only by manufacturers approved by South Africa’s Medicines Control Council.

Introduction – Dream a little
Imagine waking up early each morning with your mind as clear as a mountain stream, a mind that can’t wait to get out of bed to conquer and achieve all that it sets its sights on.
You go to the bathroom, and see a face that’s smooth and unblemished, it has no wrinkles of worry or abuse. Your eyes glow with life and shine with excitement. You’ve only been awake for five minutes but feel the exuberance of a four-year-old and want to run and hop.
Hours have gone by and you are in the later part of the work day. The time passes quickly as you eat up the demands that your job entails. Your memory is good and wit lightning sharp.
Once back at home, there is no need to lounge about in a mindless fog while your energy struggles to catch up after the demands of the day. Full of bounce, you and the dogs canter around the streets, whilst appreciating the green gardens of your neighbourhood.
Later, the brain processes, absorbs and categorises your latest study project. The spring in your step is as elastic and lively as it was 17 hours before when you exploded out of bed.
Does a life like this sound too good to be true? At the start of this short piece, I asked you to dream a little. This dream that you just had can become real for you. Read on and see how Tissue Salts can help you create that dream…
What you will find in this book
This book tells you what tissue salts are and how they work. To support this, there are case studies, photos showing facial symptoms, a psychosomatic profiling for people with Tissue Salt deficiencies and a handy A to Z of complaints with over 700 symptoms and treatments using tissue salts.

Synopsis
Dr Wilhelm Schuessler, a German medical doctor and homeopath rediscovered (over 130 years ago) that mineral substances have a major job to do for the body. He diluted, and thus miniaturised them, to become sufficiently small and delicate enough for their easy acceptance into the human cellular system. Once absorbed, they perform their daily labour for the entire organism. Without these fine-tuned helpers we could become ill and die – they are absolutely vital for on-going life. Dr Schuessler called his discovery Biochemistry.
Mankind has used Dr Schuessler’s mineral substances for more than 100 years to the welfare and benefit of a well-functioning body. These mineral substances were first described in texts written in Sanskrit, the ancient language of the Hindus in India, showing that the significance of an adequate availability of body-own mineral substances had already earned recognition at that time.
Depleted and over-fertilised soil
In Dr Schuessler’s time, depleted and over-fertilised soil was not an issue and people obtained their minerals through normal nourishment. Unfortunately this situation has drastically changed over the years, where our soils have become mineral deficient.
Our parents and grandparents all aged without having heard of Schuessler salts. But the culmination and the effects of toxin exposure we have had over the last twenty years or so are now coming to the fore. Now, more than ever, Dr Schuessler’s Tissue Salts are needed to help stem this destructive trend in our bodies. In the past there was not much need for inorganically-sourced minerals, but now they are absolutely essential for our survival.
Vitamins and supplements
For some time people have held the ill-informed belief that minerals can (on the cellular level) be replaced by vitamins and nutritional supplements. Little do they know that vitamins and supplements can only gain cellular acceptance if the cells are adequately mineral-enriched. A cellular balance is first required. If these minerals (Tissue Salts) are absent, the body will battle to absorb even a tiny fraction of these supplements. This becomes a stress factor for the cells.
Facial analysis
Dr Schuessler discovered that mineral deficiencies present themselves as discolourations, shadows, wrinkles and furrows in the face. He understood facial analysis as an art and for him all these signs were clear indications of an impending disorder. The signs of deficiencies are easy to learn and can be used by ever ybody. These signs are described in this manual. Disorders can also be easily corrected at an early stage by administering the right Tissue Salts blend.
Psychosomatic considerations
As biochemistry knowledge progressed, Schuessler’s successors discovered that mineral deficiencies also have psychosomatic connections. Certain human behaviour patterns demonstrate specific deficiencies and vice versa. As minerals do their work on the cellular level they are capable of altering the cell information. With this discovery, a new understanding and awareness came into being about restoring and maintaining excellent health, as well as gaining a long-term influence over certain obsessive behaviour patterns.
About Tissue Salts
Tissue Salts, also known as cell salts or biochemistry salts are the same minerals that are found in rocks and soil. They also occur naturally in the human body. In the past, lost or used body minerals could easily be replaced through normal nutrition. But today’s ‘empty’ food, harvested from nutritionally-drained soil, leads to constant mineral depletion.
We also lose minerals through stress, worry, fast life styles, bad nutrition, industrially-tainted foodstuffs, electro-pollution, (cell phones, microwaves, computers) and through environmental toxins (insecticides, pesticides, preservatives, etc) as well as exposure to heavy metals, such as amalgam dental fillings, lead, aluminium, contaminated drinking water… the list could go on endlessly.
In fact, because the missing minerals are not being replaced, it appears as if humanity is becoming weaker and more disease-prone from generation to generation. This tendency is very much in evidence if we only consider theworrisome increase in babies that are born with allergies and other deficiencies as a result of a mineral deficiency within the mother. What the mother lacked in minerals during pregnancy the child will be lacking at birth. This is one of the reasons for the on-going and increasing generational deficiencies. Until mankind accepts the policy of a regular mineral replacement, the deficiencies will continue to escalate.
However, with the application of the correct amount of Tissue Salts, the body can heal and restore itself from within.
The three main principles of Schuessler’s thesis are:
The human body contains 12 vital mineral salts, which need to be properly balanced for normal health
When this balance is disturbed, disease follows
The balance can easily be re-established by administering the deficient mineral salts in a readily-assimilated form, the most effective of which is a triturated form (Tissue Salts).
Tissue Salts are essential biochemical function agents. When mineral-deficient, we feel tired, exhausted and suffer from skin, hair or nail problems. We feel sluggish and do not look well.
Show me your face – and I’ll tell you what you are lacking!
That of course is a very risky sentence – but true! The face reveals mineral deficiencies in different ways. A trained practitioner can detect many body complaints but I am ahead of myself.
Many years ago, because of my own complaints, I gained knowledge in the art of Facial Analysis. For several years I lived in a house with lots of electro pollution and field lines (radiation). What I didn’t know about radiation was that because of it, the body needs lots of minerals to restore functionality. I was exhausted and had no power or vitality. Not knowing what was wrong with me, I went to a doctor. Of course he couldn’t find anything wrong. But even so, he wanted to give me antibiotics – just in case I had a virus. I refused these.
A few weeks later, I discovered Dr Schuessler’s Tissue Salts. A friend of mine had the salts and suggested that I take some. Not knowing about them, I simply took a handful of each number and sucked them. Half an hour later, I had an incredible experience; my whole body became totally relaxed, I could breathe deeply and felt much better. Wow! Of course I wanted to know more about Tissue Salts. A week later I registered for the first of many workshops where I learnt about Biochemistry, Tissue Salts and Facial Analysis. Professionally supported and advised, I continued taking the salts and gradually regained my health and vitality and so can you!
I was already a professional caregiver using Esalen® Massage, Body Working, Reflexology, Reiki and Jin Shin Jyutsu®. But when I became a Tissue Salts and Facial Analyst consultant my patient success rate radically improved.
I was, and still am, excited at the quick dynamic techniques of facial analysis for Tissue Salt deficiencies and how fast and easy the recovery from complaints is made possible, all by simply taking these precious minerals. I am simply no longer able to look at a face, as I am fascinated to see any Tissue Salt deficiencies. Everyone and especially all parents should understand about Tissue Salts for their children’s requirements. By being able to do so they can prevent disturbances and maintain a good state of health.
Schuessler’s discovery
Schuessler claimed that Tissue Salts or cell salts are vital mineral constituents of the body, where they combine with organic substances to produce and maintain the infinite number of tissue-cells of which the human body is composed. Thus, any cell salt deficiency or imbalance may result in illness, where the symptoms vary according to the deficient biochemical cell salt. However, he went on to state that if the deficiency was corrected the body could in fact heal itself.
Schuessler also discovered that if he gave the minerals in an undiluted or subdivided form they would not be able to enter the cells and would also place strain on the organism. We know this effect from the usual (macro) Calcium, Magnesium and Iron preparations. These should not be taken over an extended period as they place a strain on the body, resulting in undesirable side effects. If we have to take lots of Iron, our Zinc balance will be affected and the body will not be able to absorb Manganum and Selenium. Zinc is very important for wound healing, the building-up of sexual hormones, genes and proteins in the body. An imbalance is extremely detrimental, as the body cannot absorb Magnesium, Iron and Fluorine. The latest US-American research confirms that women taking high doses of Calcium (600mg) e.g. after menopause, in an effort to avoid osteoporosis, can also develop a Zinc deficiency. An excessive intake of food supplements (macro) like Selenium, Fluorine, Zinc and Vitamins A and D can be dangerous to their health. And here is an anomaly: we should be able to get all the necessary minerals and vitamins by eating healthy food, but we can’t as our food is barren.
Schuessler diluted the Tissues Salts so that they are able to penetrate through the minuscule apertures of the cell wall. This makes it impossible for anybody to take an overdose of these remedies.
However, to allay fears of overdosing on Tissue Salts; in a one litre bottle of still mineral water there is an average of 100mg of dissolved solids (minerals). If we were to take the same amount of Schuessler’s Tissue Salts, we would have to dissolve one ton (1,000kg) in the same size bottle! This shows the degree of dilution achieved by potency (dilution).
When Schuessler was alive, he was not confronted with depleted soils and industrially-treated nutrition. Perhaps he already knew what we were to experience a hundred years later.
The effect of depleted soils
Once we recognise the effects of depleted soil in South Africa, we will understand the regrettable occurrence of so many immune diseases in our country. The British Institute of Science in London has researched the mineral Selenium and discovered very interesting geographical connections. The research showed that the soil of the Southern Hemisphere is depleted of Zinc, Magnesium and Selenium – the latter being one of the most crucial natural immune boosters. They compared this to the North African country of Senegal, where that country’s soil is rich in Selenium. Immune diseases and many other ailments and are almost unknown there!
Recently the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) presented the results of their latest research of agrarian products in Australia. The test of indigenous food confirmed that there is a complete lack of Selenium in the grown food!
In China, the mineral drained regions are very well known as illness belts.
These examples confirm the importance of supplementing Dr Schuessler’s Tissue Salts as a replacement for missing minerals. No other product or method is as natural or as easily assimilated into the body’s tissue.
Dr Schuessler discovered 12 different minerals in the human body. With continuing research, the biochemical associations in Europe discovered that the human body contains at least another 15 Tissue Salts. These are numbers 13 to 27. Most support the body in its fight against the so-called ‘modern illnesses’. Number 26, Selenium, is the most important immune booster. Number 21, Zincum muriaticum, is considered the ‘brain-mineral’. Zinc can be obtained in the Southern Hemisphere but only by eating seafood. Sadly this is usually contaminated with mercury.
The deplorable mineral deficiency which we have to live with negates the information supplied in all those wonderful books about nutrition, e.g. by Patrick Holford and many others. They quite correctly claim that you can improve your Magnesium and Zinc levels by eating broccoli or spinach. But this is not valid for South Africa! Also, most of the supplements obtained from health shops don’t do the trick, simply because they don’t get absorbed into the blood stream. However, even if they did, the cells would reject them because of wrong artificial molecule size and the fact that the body is mineral deficient (Tissue Salts)!
It is a good idea to buy organic vegetables, because organic farmers fertilise plantations with those minerals which the plants absorb to transform into a palatable and absorbable form!
What are Tissue Salts?
Our parents and grandparents aged gracefully without taking Tissue Salts as there was simply no need. However, as recent generations have experienced an increase in exposure to toxins Tissue Salts are now essential to stem this destructive trend in our bodies. They are a necessary survival factor.
It is important to note that Schuessler’s Tissue Salts:
The loss of minerals
Aggravating circumstances are the pollution of our environment (which constantly increases) and the fact that our body depletes its deposit of mineral salts, simply to keep functioning. Not having sufficient natural minerals in our body leads to a loss of vitality, premature aging, over-acidification, restrictions of mobility, allergies – all can lead to diseases. As we feel more and more restricted on a physical level we can no longer take any kind of strain and our premature aging process becomes visible and perceptible (osteoporosis, problematic hair, fragile nails, weak skin, wrinkles, varicose veins etc.)
The main problem is one of not being able to replenish the minerals the body uses for its daily work. This results from the empty nutrition we get from barren soils. There are several other reasons for a loss of minerals, like radiation (from Cell-phones, microwave-ovens, electromagnetic fields, computers, etc.); heavy metal poisoning (such as amalgam fillings, cosmetics, insecticides, pesticides); poor nutrition (processed, refined and denaturised foods); hyperacidity (soft drinks, too much meat); stress; lifestyle; drugs, etc.
Craving and Refusing
We also lose minerals due to cravings. Because Tissue Salts have a regulating effect, we need them if we crave for or refuse a food type. There is a link between someone who loves chocolate (and eats a lot of it) and a deficiency. This means there is a shortage in Magnesium on a cellular level (micro) and perhaps other minerals which results in the craving for chocolate. The assimilation and digestion of chocolate needs lots of Magnesium on a cellular level, thus more cravings occur. The more chocolate that is eaten, the bigger the deficiency in the cell. When one refills the shortage in the cells with the relevant Tissue Salts the craving disappears.
You are in charge of what you put into your body!
Parents should not forget that they are in charge of what their children put in their bodies.
Holistic Health Components
Attitude
Attitude is crucial. If we are constantly negative and always finding fault (a pessimist) it will influence our entire system. The metabolism will slow down and energy levels will lower, thereby attracting negativity. Conversely, when we are positive and optimistic we will find that we can deal more easily with difficult situations and they will not impact on our metabolism.
Energy fields
Often people try to improve their health, but fail to do so because of hidden energy fields. There are different kinds of energy fields, some of which I now describe.
Mirror radiation
Many people don’t know the strain mirrors can cause, especially in the bedroom. The same goes for shiny surfaces (furniture, pictures) which reflect the shiny rays in the room and reinforce the existing energy fields (radiation). The energy field feels lighter after removing these mirrors and shiny surfaces. Not everyone is sensitive enough to feel this but many can. You will know only if you try it.
