Re: Salt - Himalayan or Celtic?

[Guest guest]

Hi all - can anyone tell me the difference better/worse between these two salts please? Ive been reading up on these and especially for high BP but am confused as to whether there is much difference. They both seem to have lots of minerals and arent polluted and the celtic salt seems more expensive. Any other thoughts/knowledge about this please?

I know that nne you use the Himalayan and know about such things so if you are around please let me have your thoughts.

Thanks a lot,

Gill

HI Gill

Not nne but I do gray sea salt and it is Sel marin. Atlantic

untreated salt, it tastes absolutely wonderful and has nothing taken

out just like the Celtic salt.

I don't know about the Hymalain but I should say as long as it is

untreated sea salt, and it contains all the minerals it should be ok.

Mine is much cheaper than Celtic and I get mine from

Goodness Direct, it is only 1.85 but with the shipping it comes out at

£6.26 but that isn't really their fault it is quite weighty. You need

to order

Danival Unrefined Coarse Sea Salt 1kg if you are interested.

Take care

Hello Gill

I use both these salts. My understanding is that in terms of trace

minerals etc they are very much the same. I think it is just that

one comes from the sea, one from the mountains.

I do, however, find that there is a difference in taste and texture.

The light grey is milder and not quite so strong, whereas the Pink

Himalayan is much saltier, if that makes sense! If you buy the

Celtic ready milled it is much softer and wetter in texture, the

Pink Himalayan is finer, more like table salt.

I like both of them now. When I first bought them I preferred the

Celtic because it wasn't such an assault on my palette but that may

have been because I was never really a salt lover but just recently

I bought the Himalayan again and thought how much I like it's extra

salty flavour.

Hope this helps!

Hi Gill

I switched over to Himilayan quite a while ago and much prefer the flavour, this was after reading on sites that it does contain iodine (I buy it in large amounts from Ancient Wisdom wholesale) BUT I came across this recently which has made me rethink - Dawn's choice might be better. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9901E4D91538F931A35757C0A963948260 & sec=health & spon= & pagewanted=all

Hi

That's useful to know - about the taste as well.

thanks a lot,

Hi Dawn - I dont understand your post (below), please would you explain to me? If you mean the people harvesting the salt then this would influence my decision so I would be grateful for more information.

thank you,

I've been looking into this a bit more because I was a bit disturbed

by the link that Anne sent in. And I've discovered that although

Himalayan salt contains lots of good stuff, it does not contain iodine

whereas Celtic sea salt definitely does. So from now on I'll be buying

only Celtic.

Hi - thanks - but the reason I looking into the use of 'real' salt is because I have high BP and there is a lot of evidence that unrefined salt (such as celtic or himalayan) is helpful in regulating BP and that they are full of minerals etc. Its the refined table type salts (including refined sea salt) that are the bad ones for BP - although looking into it I cant find any evidence that this increases BP either!

If you have high BP then its worth looking into - Ive been very surprised but am sending for some when Ive figured out which I want try!

Dr Brownstein is one of the people that recommend unrefined/natural salt - he has a website but there are loads of sites that recommend it for lots of things including high BP.

Interestingly when I cut out salt my BP rose and my hypoT symptoms really kicked in!

Hi gill,

Sorry to confuse the issue ,but I don’t use salt except in hot weather when I get cramps. Keeps my BP down 10 points.

Hey

that is fascinating, I had noticed too that it helps my cramps and

with me it doesn't have to be hot weather, but also that THIS salt

actually does lower my bp which is contrary to the advice of modern

dieticians because their research must be based on the salt you buy

from the supermarket which is depleted of all minerals. I had actually

not notcied the connection of my lower bp when on the salt, thankyou.

It is funny how the value of salt has been lost to Western

civilization. It is such a precious comodity to the human body.

take care

Dawnx
