Frequently Asked Questions What is Himalayan crystal salt? About 250 million years ago, what is nowadays the Himalayan mountain range was covered by a primordial ocean. When the Indian sub-continent hit Asia, the ocean floor started to rise and created a huge salt lake. Eventually this salt lake evaporated and formed the salt layers in the Salt Range in India and Pakistan. Himalayan crystal salt contains the same minerals and trace elements of which the human body is composed. How much salt is safe to use? There is a big difference between the "regular" refined table salt to which most people are accustomed and natural, health-promoting salt. This difference can have a major impact on your health. Regular table salt is actually 97.5% pure salt (sodium chloride) and 2.5% chemical additives such as iodine, fluoride, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, saccharine and others. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt. What remains after raw salt is "chemically cleaned" is pure sodium chloride, devoid of any life-sustaining minerals. One can say that this salt is bio-energetically "dead", because it does not project a specific energetic field around it. To keep this salt from sticking together and making lumps, chemicals are added. Then, to mask the bitter taste of these anti-caking agents, more chemicals are added. Dr. Haendel and other researchers suggest that our body recognizes white table salt (sodium chloride), and chemical additives as synthetics, even as potential toxins, and subsequently attempts to eliminate them. Inorganic sodium chloride can disturb your fluid balance and can overburden your body's faculties to purify itself by eliminating what it "recognizes" as toxins. When your body tries to deal with the excess of refined table salt that is part of most people's diet, it starts to retain water. This is why, after eating a salty snack, you get thirsty. Dr. Haendel and Dr. Mercola claim that for every gram of sodium chloride that your body cannot process, your body uses 23 times the amount of cell water to neutralize the salt. Eating common table salt causes excess fluid in your body tissue, which can contribute to various medical conditions. The health risks of regular table salt have been recognized by the medical profession, and, as a result, they have been urged to limit our intake of salt. Unfortunately, this does not take into account that not all salt is created equal. Himalayan crystal salt can be readily metabolized by the body, which is why it's the best salt to use for seasoning your food and for all your cooking and baking needs. An exception to this rule is when the kidneys are not functioning properly or when you suffer from salt-induced high blood pressure (which characterizes a small minority of all high blood pressure cases). When in doubt, always consult with a professional health practitioner. What is a salt? In chemistry, "salt" is the generic name for any ionic compound composed of positive and negative ions (cations & anions). The ions that form the salt can be organic like (CH3CO2-) or inorganic like (Cl-). When salts dissolve in water they conduct electricity. There are hundreds of different kinds of salt in nature, composed of different elements. Some salts are formed by mono-atomic ions like (F-) while other salts may contain polyatomic ions like (SO4)-2. H
