Salt and health

Salt is essential not only to life, but to good health. It's always been that way. Human blood contains 0.9 % salt (Sodium Chloride). Salt maintains the electrolyte balance inside and outside our cells. Both sea salt and rock salt were well known to the ancient Greeks who noted that eating salty food affected basic body functions such as digestion and excretion (urine and stools). Thus, 2000 years ago, the Greek medicine had already discovered drinking salty or mineralized waters for digestive troubles, inhaling salt for respiratory diseases and topical use of salt for skin lesions.

Salt and the elements

The 'problem' with salt is not the salt itself but the condition of the salt we eat! Our regular table salt no longer has anything in common with the original crystal salt. Salt now a day is mainly sodium chloride and NOT salt! With the event of industrial development, our natural salt was 'chemically cleaned' and reduced only to sodium and chloride. Major producing companies dry their salt with temperatures reaching 1200 F, changing the salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body.

The common table salt we use for cooking has only 2 or 3 chemical elements. The seawater has 84 chemical elements. For our body to be healthy we need all those elements. When we use the common salt, we are in deficit of 81 elements which means we are somehow contributing to becoming weaker, inbalanced and more susceptible to diseases!

For this reason: use the SEA WATER SALT !

Salt and water

Salt and water regulate the water content of the body. Water itself regulates the water content of the interior of the cell by working its way into all of the cells it reaches. It has to get there to cleanse and extract the toxic wastes of cell metabolisms. Salt forces some water to stays outside the cells. There are two 'oceans' of water in the body; one is held inside the cells and the other is held outside the cells. Good health depends on a most delicate balance between the volume of these 'oceans', and this balance is achieved by salt - UNREFINED SALT !
