Herbs, Salts and Spices for health
Good Salt is NOT
your enemy
When consumed in moderation ,
good sea or Himalayan salt provides trace minerals -
which are missing in
many chronic disorders, including cardiovascular disease.
Low Sodium Diet MAY
Increase Heart Attack Risk
"Researchers studied the relationship between a low-sodium diet and
cardiovascular mortality. Nearly 3,000 hypertensive subjects were studied. The
result of this study was that there was a 430% increase in myocardial infarction
(heart attack) in the group with the lowest salt intake versus the group with
the highest salt intake". (Alderman, 1995)
- David Brownstein, M.D. "Salt
your way to Health"
Review study of healthy people on low-sodium
diets found LDL increased 4.6% and triglycerides 5.9%;
(Jurgens, 2003)
Another review reported cholesterol increased 2.5% and
triglycerides 7% (Graudel et al, 2011)
Both studies found that salt restriction produced only
minor reductions in blood pressure (on average), with a somewhat stronger effect
in those with high blood pressure.
Do not consume
regular table salt
Processed table salt is
an unnatural chemical form of salt -
Excessive drying heat (>1200ºF) alters natural
chemical structure of the salt."Chemically cleaned"table salt is 97.5% sodium chloride (devoid of trace
minerals) and the other 2.5% is iodine and chemicals E.g moisture absorbents,
such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and aluminum hydroxide.
(Aluminum deposits into your brain -potentially a cause of Alzheimer's
disease).
Too much salt IS AS BAD
AS TOO LITTLE
Average person consumes
an excessive daily 4-6 grams, some as much as 10 grams - processed table
salt is found in almost all processed foods and also added at the table.
Excess Salt depletes
body's cellular water - water molecules must surround the sodium chloride to break them up
into sodium and chloride ions in order to help neutralize them. This takes water
from your cells. Your body uses 23 times the amount of cell water to neutralize
every gram of sodium chloride that your body cannot get rid of. This causes
excess fluid in your body tissue, which can contribute to
cellulite, rheumatism, arthritis, gout,
and kidney / gall bladder stones.
Unrefined Himalayan or
Celtic Sea Salt
Supplies precious TRACE
MINERALS in natural form
Ingest a daily minimum of 1/2 tsp. Unrefined, Himalayan or Celtic sea Salt
(Both good choices)
Properties of unrefined, Himalayan and Celtic Sea Salts
Contaminant-free
Has Perfect crystalline
structure (as
seen under an electron microscope) - the interconnectedness of each molecule provides
a harmonious vibrational energy
component of the 84 elements present. The picture on the left (below) shows
refined sea-salt. The natural Himalayan salt shown on the right clearly has a
more structured crystalline form.
Contains all of the 84
elements found in the body - the same elements originally found in the
"primal sea", all in colloidal form (small enough for your cells to readily absorb
them).

Health benefits of
natural, unrefined Salt
Regulates water content throughout the body.
Promotes healthy pH
balance inbody's cells - particularly brain cells.
Promotesblood sugarbalance and help reducethe signs ofaging.
Assists in the generation
of hydroelectric energy in body's cells.
Absorbs food particles through your intestinal tract.
Supports respiratory
health.
Promotes sinus health.
Prevents muscle cramps.
Promotes bone strength.
Regulates sleep - it
naturally promotes sleep.
Supports your libido.
Promotes vascular health.
Essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with water.
Unrefined salt also has
health benefits when applied to the body - use a 1% solution (the same concentration as found in tears and
amniotic fluid). For comparison, the sea is a 3½% concentration.
- Salt Bath
- Use 2¼ pounds in
a normal sized tub. Body absorbs minerals through the skin. Also rejuvenates
your skin.
- Apply a 1% solution to
rashes, insect bites - amazing, simple, effective and cheap remedy; also rejuvenates the
skin.
