Dr. Julius Hensel (born July 11, 1833, in Küstrin, died probably 1903 in Berlin ) was a German agricultural and physiological chemist or pharmacist, who later qualified as a doctor of medicine; described as one of the greatest pioneers of biochemistry and was considered by his followers as the "inventor" of the mineral field fertilization with rock flour. He published "Macrobiotic" in 1882; he suggested that the underlying cause of all disease is a lack of mineral substances which are essential to the functioning of the body's cells. As he travelled he studied the minerals of the country and recorded any health problems more common in the area.

A contemporary of Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler (sometimes written Schussler), Hensel also proposed tritrated mineral substances to treat illness, but not diluted to the extent proposed by Hahnemann's homeopathy and made a large number of enemies in opposing many aspects of both established medical opinion of the day and some of the newer ideas - from vaccination to homeopathy.
