Many believe Himalayan salt is the purest on Mother Earth. "It's history dates back to creation, it's believed to be composed of dried remanents of the original primal sea." AKA pink gold, it's a beautiful pinkish color & contains all 84 of the minerals & elements found in the human body. Drs. of 'functional medicine' report that consuming it regularly can be beneficial to the following:
Celtic sea salt is comparable to the health benefits of the 'pink gold' salt & is another ancient commodity! It's a grayish hue & is naturally harvested in Brittany, France near the Celtic Sea. It uses a 2,000 year old celtic method which is crucial to preserving it's life-giving nutritional value. It's interesting to note this salt retains it's moisture content & is moist to the touch no matter how its stored! The actual name....Celtic Sea Salt is apparently a registered trademark, just FYI. It is also highly beneficial for:
- Alkalize the body
- Balance blood sugars
- Eliminate mucus buildup
- Build immunity
- Improve brain function
- Increase energy
- Provide electrolyte balance
- Promote restful sleep
- Prevent muscle cramps
- Regulate heartbeat and blood pressure
Thank you Dr. Axe for all your hard work and this information!!!
I use the pink salt these days, simple because it's easier to get where I live. Of all places, the local tobacco shop carries it! They sell it in small bags, salt lamps, big slabs that you can stand on to help detox your body (not sure about that), and salt inhalers for the lungs. I made my own inhaler by drilling tiny holes in the lid and bottom of a clean supplement bottle, then filling it with the salt. Much cheaper. The funny thing is, I KNOW that the gentleman who owns the shop is NOT from the Himalayas, but from another part of the world. However, he always tells me he is from the Himalayas, and that his family brings this salt from there! I simply smile, nod, and pay for my little bags of pink goodness. I would like to try the Celtic salt if I an find it. Good post!
