Bio-chemic system of medicine may be defined as , the branch of
therapeutics based on the LAW OF DEFICIENCY , i.e. the
deficiency of inorganic salts which cause disequilibrium in the
harmonious functioning of the organic constituents of the cell , so
it must be corrected by supplying the requisite proportion of the
inorganic salt.
Virchow’s Cellular Pathology:-
• Dr. schuessler was greatly influenced by R.Virchow , the founder of
cellular pathology.
• According to Virchow , ‘ The nature of the disease is the disease of
the cells.’
• Schuessler agreed with Virchow that the basic cause of all life processes
and the changes in organs and tissues was to be found in the sensitivity
of the cells.
• Dr. schuessler on gaining inspiration from articles formulated a new
system of therapitcs. In march 1873 he published his articles ‘ An
abridged homoeopathic Therapeutics .’
• Dr. schuessler , after 15 years of homoeopathic practice , became
particularly interested in the important inorganic salts of which the
human body is composed of , and in their quantitative relations.
• 1873 is considered the birth year of biochemistry.
• In 1874 schuessler’s 1st work appeared. It’s tittle was ‘an abridged
therapy on the basis of physiology and cellular pathology’.
• The inorganic substances found in blood and tissues are sufficient to
cure all diseases and in particular they help to regulate constitutional
disturbances.
BIOCHEMIC Vs HOMOEOPATHY :-
BIOCHEMIC HOMOEOPATHY
This system was discovered by Dr. schussler in 1873. This system was discovered by Dr. Hahnemann in 1790.
Number of drugs in biochemic are only 12. Number of drugs in homoeopathy is more than 4500.
All medicines are prepared from mineral kingdom only. Medicines are prepared from different kingdom.
Drugs are prepared only in decimal scale. Drugs are prepared in all the three scales.
BIOCHEMIC HOMOEOPATHY
Polypharmacy is allowed. Only monopharmacy is allowed.
Doses are minute and have physiological action. Doses are minute and act by dynamic way.
Concept of diathesis , temperament and miasm are not Concept of diathesis , temperament and miasm are considered.
considered.
Medicine acts through circulatory and digestive system. Medicine acts through nervous system.
It is dispensed in tabloid and powder form. It is dispensed in mother tincture and globules form.
Bio chemic salt Found in Deficiency of salt producing diseases
condition
1. Calc. fluorica Enamel of teeth , bones , elastic Varicose vein , bone & tooth disease ,
tissue & strengthen the blood rickets , hardness of glands and
vessels. nodular extra growth of fibrous tissue.
2. Calc. phosphorus Most abundant salt in the body as Teeth diseases, nails diseases, bone
compared to the other salts. It form fracture, nervous disorders
hard bone , and involved in
formation of protein
4. Calc. sulphur In liver and gall bladder, increases Suppuration in tissues , inflammation
blood coagulation and stimulates of tissues , boils , abscess with foul
metabolism. smelling discharges.
5. Kali. mur Every cells ,RBC , affect sensitivity of Catarrhal condition of various organs

stage of inflammation , it produces
whitish grey formation of mucus

6. Kali. phosphorus Imp. For brain , nerve and muscles Nervous exhaustion , depression ,

anxiety ,hysteria, and sadness. Sleep
disorder.
7. Kali. sulphur Found in epidermis and epithelial Helps in 3rd stage of inflammation,
cells , helps in cellular metabolism. chronic suppuration of mucus
membrane and catarrhal condition of
nose , ear ,throat and kidney.
8. Mag. phosphorus Bone , muscular system , nerve and All types of pain and colic except
spinal cord. burning pain.
Produce constriction in affected part.
9. Nat. mur Common salt , regulates the Anemia , chlorosis , weight loss

balance. and mental weakness.
10. Nat. phosphorus Brain cells , blood corpuscles , Metabolic disorder , acidity ,
connective tissue. liver, gout.
11. Nat. sulphur Found in cells Liver, gall bladder, skin diseases,
extra growth of tissue.
12. silicea Skin, hair , nail , bones , helps Stimulates the phagocytic
in increase the power of activities , suppuration of tissue
resistance and lymph function. and skin.
Undernourishment.
Effusion of tissue.
Falling of hair.
Nail diseases.
• The biochemic medicine restores the ion gradient necessary for
the normal functioning of the cells.
• Dr. schussler suggested that biochemistry rectifies disease
directly , by administration of homogeneous substances , while
homoeopathy does so indirectly , by administration of
hetrogeneous substances.
• Biochemisty works on sound and valid principles.
• Thus the two system can be said to be siblings under the skin.
