Salt, also known brine, is a mineral that is made up from sodium chloride. It is one of those elements that are essential for life in small quantities, but can be dangerous when you have too much. Salt being used mainly for flavouring food and as a method of keeping food from going bad. Its taste is a basic human taste. Because it is mainly made up of Sodium and chlorine, (chemical formula NaCl), it is a mineral and can found in solid or liquid form. When in a liquid form it is referred to as "brine" Salt can be found all over the earth, and deep down in the earth as well as outer space. Knowing as to where the mineral comes from is a key to how it is made.
You can get salt from the sea just by letting puddles of seawater dry in the sun and there you have salt, although very coarse. As a matter of fact four litres of seawater will give you about 250 gram of salt.
But it is the salt that is deep under the earth that is used as our main source of the white stuff that you put on your table. These mines can be found all over the world, but it is not where it comes from that matters but what is done it once it is mine.
Most salt is refined and that is where it all goes wrong, because during the refining process the 84 minerals within the salt are washed out and what you are left with is sodium chloride, the basic chemical of salt, not the life giving salt that is.
Why do we need it?
Why do we have to have salt? The answer is quite simple: without it, we would die but the paradox is that with too much of it we could also die! So salt is a vital biological mineral that we must have, but must be taken in the right dosage and the right quality.
The main problem with common table salt is that during the refining process it is heated up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. And in doing this it alters the natural chemical make up of the salt. What you are left with is a chemically cleaned sodium chloride, and that is a very unnatural salt that your body will see as a sort of poison. This is what you will find in all sorts of processed and preserved foods that you buy in the shops; and then when you add more salt to the already salted food, well believe me you are not doing yourself any favours. You are, in short, poisoning yourself and setting your body up for all sorts of problems; kidney stones and arthritis being just two of them
In a nutshell: inorganic sodium chloride messes up with your body's fluid balance. The body cannot get rid of this poison and will build it up in your joints and kidney amongst other things. Apart from all that going on, your body will also try and isolate this poison and surround it with water and then you have "water retention" (mainly in your legs)?
There are better salts to use then the refined product that your get in the local shop. Sea salt is one such. A natural product straight from the sea," what can be better" I hear you say. But think about this for a moment; our seas and oceans are now so full of toxins and chemicals poisons that sea salt is now little better then the refined product. To get an idea as to how much poison there is in the seas of the world; go down to your local shop and look how many shampoos, toilet cleaners, washing products etc, there are on display. Read the labels and you will find very few of them are natural and brake-down in the sea. (There are a few Aloe Vera is one of them) All of this ends up in the sea as well as the waste from our factories and what every else gets dumped.
But all is not lost because there is a salt that is pure and untouched by human hand, so to speak. This is Himalayan Crystal Salt, which comes from primordial seas from millions of years ago (well before we started dumping into the seas). This salt of the unpolluted seas preserved as crystal formations that give us the purest salt on the planet.
Himalayan Crystal Salts alive and unrefined and as such still holds the 84 key trace minerals as our bodies, making it easily metabolized. Use this product of the primordial seas and you will create a harmonious state within your body giving you good health and wellbeing, that nature intends you to have.
Get rid of the white stuff on your table and use this lovely pinkish salt that will bring anew taste and joy to your food.

Himalayan Salt of The Earth
It is a fact of life that both humans and animals and even some plants need salt in their daily diets in order to survive.
It is often stated that alongside air, earth, water and fire, salt should be labelled as one of the necessary basic elements to life.
If you read the history on salt, you will find that nations and peoples have clashed in wars about salt.
Roman soldiers were paid an allowance to buy salt, the origin of our salary.
The crystalline structure of Himalayan salt was formed as a result of a sedimentation process over millions of years, giving it unique biophysical and biochemical characteristics. Table salt is typically 99 percent sodium chloride, which you really should not be putting in your body.

Salt is salt...right!
Salt is salt right! Well actually it is very wrong. What people do not realise is that some salts can give you good health, while refined salt can create some health risks.
That is because grocery store salt is mostly chemical sodium chloride, while natural salt has up to 84 natural minerals in it.
Fortunately, we are witnessing a trend back to natural, holistic methods for living and caring for our body, including a shift to utilizing natural salts in this process. This is a good thing.
Instead of using common salt; which is nothing more than a chemical really (after it has been refined and what ever else they do to it) try some Himalayan Salt which will give you good health instead of robbing you of your health.
