Answer to Himalayan Sea Salt

[Guest guest]

I think there was a question on this list about this a

little while back. Found this little tidbit, and it

explains it quite nicely.

Pure Crystal Salt is becoming increasingly popular in

the natural foods movement. While the pink crystal

salt on the marketplace are often referred to as

“Himalayan” salt, the salt mines are not actually

located in the Himalayas . In fact, the actual mines

where “Himalayan” salt is harvested is approximately

1000 miles from the Himalayas ! This is also same salt

has also been referred to as Hunza Salt, yet it does

not come from Hunza land or territory at all. We feel

that a good name might be “Primordial Salt” or “

Primordial Ocean Salt” because it comes from the

original primordial oceans that were covered up by

mountains many millions of years ago. Located in

remote regions of Pakistan , these mines have

developed over many millions of years.

This Crystal Salt is considered by many to be the most

pure and beneficial form on the planet. First, the

mines were formed from waters that had NEVER been

exposed to any impurities. It has had millions of

years to mature under great tectonic pressure, far

from exposure to any form of environmental pollution.

Unfortunately, even the highest quality sea salts can

have picked harmful pollutants and heavy metals from

the ocean in which they are harvested and dried.

Moreover, the salts can contain trace amounts of sharp

pieces of sand, which can be irritating to both the

villi in the intestinal tract and the delicate cells

of our body.

Secondly, all of its eighty-four minerals and trace

elements are available in colloidal form . Having

continually been pressurized and reduced in size for

millions of years, the minerals have become colloidal

in size, one of the smallest bioavailable forms

minerals can take. This means that such necessary

minerals as sodium, calcium and magnesium as well as

trace minerals are readily absorbed and utilized by

the body.

In earlier times, highly pure forms of Crystal Salt

were commonly referred to as " King's Salt " . Natural

salt matured over millions of years under high

pressure, and it was not exposed to contamination. In

some cultures, salt crystals are treated and valued as

precious gems. Even the latin root ‘sal', which forms

the basis of the English word ‘salary', has it's

origin in the value of pure crystal salt. Both the

Greeks and Romans, along with many other ancient

cultures, used salt as an important form of currency.

Thus, the soldier's ‘salary' was often given in the

form of salt!

One might wonder if this form salt poses health risks

for those with high blood pressure or kidney problems.

Yet, it is difficult for our bodies to absorb too much

Pure Crystal Salt since this natural process is

self-regulating. The kidneys can easily eliminate any

excess amounts before problems occur, just as with any

other important nutrient Crystal Salt appears to

enhance and balance the body's self regulating

properties, so that even our level of blood pressure

is better regulated. Thus, it is often found that high

blood pressure can be safely lowered and low blood

pressure can be safely raised. This is in stark

contrast with table salt, whose trace elements,

delicate structure and pattern have been refined and

processed away.

Pure Crystal Salt is also ideal for the ancient

healing method known as Brine Therapy . To administer

Brine Therapy , take 2-3 medium to large salt crystals

and dissolve in one pint of purified water. It

typically takes 1-3 days for the crystals to fully

dissolve and stirring them occasionally will speed up

the process. Once the solution reaches 26% the

crystals will no longer dissolve and the brine is

finished. While there are many different uses for the

brine, the easiest way to use this therapy is just to

add a teaspoon to your water or juice. The body can

use the minerals and energy stored in a teaspoon of

brine for up to twenty-four hours and then more is

needed. This is the most ancient, natural and cost

effective forms of mineral supplementation on the

planet! The pleasant, milky taste of this brine seems

to match the descriptions by those that go to Hunza

land and try their mineral-rich glacier water.

Our Halite Crystals different from the standard pink

crystals(jagged and triangular in shape) in that they

are highly proportioned and cube-like. The crystals

are not actually cut into cubes and rectangles but

actually break off perfectly in these shapes during

their harvest. Like the standard crystals, Halite

Crystals have been exposed for millions of years to

enormous pressure. This is the same pressure that was

the cause of the formation of the salt mines from the

original ancient oceans. As the pressure increased

over time, the mineral crystals became more and more

geometrically proportioned. Our Halite Salt comes from

the absolute deepest veins in the salt mines and

crystallizes in areas where the perfect concentration

of pressure was available. The pink color from this

salt actually comes from the original pink algae that

lived in the ancient ocean. Consuming this salt

connects us with the some of the very first life forms

and matter that existed on our planet.

The more geometrically perfect the crystals are, the

more they can be likened to a precious gem. Also, the

more resonant the minerals and information contained

within the salt are with our bodies. More than any

other form of salt, the minerals and trace minerals in

the Halite have been microscopically compressed into

tiny particles, which can then be easily absorbed and

utilized by our body's cells. Halite is actually the

true and original " King's Salt” because of it's

gem-like and health sustaining properties. It was

strictly reserved for royalty and very upper class. Of

all the “Himalayan Salt” on the market, only 3-5% is

of the Halite Grade and quality. This is because this

particular form of crystal salt must be carefully

hand-mined from the deepest and most elusive parts of

the caves.
