According to homoeopathy, the biochemic system of medicine is based on the basic twelve-cell salts which are present inside the body. Each salt has a particular function.

On the basis of the totality of symptoms when the most indicated salt is administered, they act as catalysts in causing the absorption of these particular salts from the food and thus restore the natural body functioning.
