Salt Secrets - Himalayan Pink Crystal 84Salt

Everybody knows, ‘Too much salt is unhealthy,’ but no one ever told me that sodium chloride is a poison!

All processed salts, from iodized to sea salt are, through the process, reduced to sodium chloride, which is a poison to the body. It robs our cells of their precious water in order to neutralize its negative effects. This is why the body swells after eating heavy amounts of sodium chloride, found in almost every processed food in America.

A few years ago I discovered Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt. I read a book by Dr. Barbara Hendel, titled Water & Salt. Through it, I learned the poisonous properties of sodium chloride and the miraculous properties of a living crystal salt found in one mine in Pakistan. 

I tried the salt. It tastes so alive. It is far more salty than any other salt I have tasted. I know that sounds stupid, but when you taste, you are going to see why it only sounds stupid. I use less of this salt because it is actually more flavorful. I found using it my body did not swell up. My rings come off my fingers easily and I have not had any of the swelling issues that I had off and on over the other 50 years of my life. This alone was a reason to share this wonderful salt with others. 

I continued to get excited when I purchased a salt tile to cook on. I will share recipes and experiences as this blog continues, but I just want to say when cooking on a tile, the food never penetrates the surface, so I can cook fish one night and chicken the next and the flavor never transfers. And it is a delight to have the tile lightly season my food!

At any rate, as I fell in love with this salt, I wanted to share it with everyone, so I began to search for a way to import it or buy it from an importer so I could help others discover it. In November of 2011, I found a company that passed on my requirements. I wanted to know how it was handled, that the company had integrity, and was aligned with my belief that this planet and all things on it are sacred. I also needed to know they had taken the salt to the FDA to be certified and that is was also Kosher. Finally I needed to know that it tasted as good as the salt I had been buying, and that I would be able to sell it to others at a highly competitive price. I checked all my boxes off.  

• Salt is handled by hand - chiseled, washed, sun dried, ground, carved, all by hand. 
• It is bagged or bottled in an ISO certified clean facility
• The company promotes all natural cotton bags, and is concerned about the environment, works against forced labor and child labor. 
• The salt is FDA approved & Kosher certified.
• It tastes better than any other Himalayan salt I have had before.
• Finally the price is amazing, and since I do not mark anything up a lot, we can offer it at one of the best prices on the net. 

We named our new company 84Salt.com because this amazing salt contains 84 minerals. 

84Salt is pure, organic ancient salt created 250 million years ago from the primal sea. It is a synergistic crystal combination of sodium chloride and 84 trace minerals. 84Salt is hand picked, hand chiseled, hand washed, sun dried, never processed, never heated, never has anything added to it. It is certified pure by the FDA.

84Salt has been proven through lab tests, to help rebalance the body. It is a complete salt, which in solution with natural spring water is 99% identical to the natural saline fluids in the human body. It thus rebalances our bodies and will not cause dehydration, bloating or swelling.

This salt is used to detox the body in a variety of ways, many of which, are very simple and none invasive.

For example; soaking a pair of white socks in an 84Salt sole 3% solution* then putting these on your feet and wrapping them in a nice towel while resting for 45 minutes, is a great detox. Doing this three times a week for a few weeks several times a year is a very easy, comfortable detox routine.

• *Sole is made by putting 84Salt in spring water until the
  water is saturated and cannot absorb any more salt,
  At this point crystals will either be floating in it or
  lying at the bottom of the jar. 
• A 3% solution would be 3 oz of sole to 97 ounces
  of water, or any equivalent.
