W. H. Schüssler

Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler (Schuessler in English-language publications) (1821 to 1898) was a medical doctor in Oldenburg, Germany, who explored for natural remedies to ailments. He published his experiments in a German homeopathic journal in 1873, which focused on a list of 12 so-called "biochemic cell salts" that remain popular in alternative medicine today. Modern approaches to homeopathy tend to exclude Schuessler's concept of homeopathic potency which, while very dilute, retained smaller amounts of the original salt.
