Salt - a life force
Salt crystals in Saltpipe contain all
essential elements
“Salt symbolizes life itself. The basic physiological functions depend on the balance between salt and the body’s fluids. When they are out of balance, diseases can appear.”

Salt Facts
Refined Salt: White Poison
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, today it is mainly sodium chloride and not salt. With the advent of industrial development, our natural salt has been "chemically cleaned" and reduced only to sodium and chloride. Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing the salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. Ordinary table salt has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additives. In studies table salts have been linked to hypertension and other heart and blood problems. Table salt also gives many people the feeling of being bloating.
The common table salt we use for cooking has only 2 or 3 chemical elements whereas unprocessed salt contains 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, imbalanced and more susceptible to diseases. (http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/salt.htm) The horizon of our ‘scientific age’ is summed up by the fact that the 81 elements removed from the original unrefined salt end up being fed to farm animals as a food supplement. It has been proven, that cows and pigs need the ‘complete salt’ otherwise they develop diseases.
Unrefined salt: Life force
Unrefined salt is at heart sea salt, but can come from two sources: either freshly dried from the sea, as in Celtic Sea Salt, or mined as pure halite salt crystals from ancient inland ocean beds as in Himalayan Salt and the salt mines of Praid, in Romania. In either case, the salt is a naturally occurring complex of sodium chloride, major minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and a complete complement of essential trace minerals. This is the form of salt the body recognizes and is designed to use. Salt, found in salt mines created by ancient seabed deposits, is known as halite.
Such halite salt crystals are the precipitates of ancient seas covering the present day Carpathian region in Europe 20-22 million years ago. In the 1,600 m thick salt mass at Praid, which contains about 3 billion tons of salt, shimmering and transparent pinkish, reddish or white veins wind through. Enormous pressure, throughout millions of years, transformed this salt mountain into crystal salt. The elements trapped within the crystal salt are particles small enough to be able to penetrate the human cells and be metabolized.
Sea salt
Sea salt has an irregular and isolated crystalline structure, disconnected from the natural elements surrounding them. Because of this, the vital minerals, however many it may contain, cannot be absorbed by the body unless the body expends tremendous amount of energy to vitalize them. The net gain is small with an even greater loss of energy.
Halite crystal salt
Halite salt crystals show a balanced crystalline structure. The crystal is not isolated from the inherent mineral elements but is connected to them in a harmonious state. It means that the energy content, in the form of minerals, is balanced and can be easily metabolized by the body. This crystal is full of life, carrying vital energetic effects on the body. The result is only a net gain for the body with zero energy loss. (http://www.americanbluegreen.com)
Physiological function of halite crystal salt
In the body, salt is as important to humans as water or air. It helps maintain the normal volume of blood in the body and also helps keep the correct balance of water in and around the cells and tissues. Salt plays an important part in the digestion of food and is essential in making the heart beat correctly. It is also necessary for the formation and proper function of nerve fibres, which carry impulses to and from the brain. Sodium, together with calcium, magnesium and potassium, helps regulate the body's metabolism. The sodium in salt is an essential nutrient. In combination with potassium, it regulates the acid-alkaline balance in our blood and is also necessary for proper muscle functioning. When we don't get enough sodium chloride, we experience muscle cramps, dizziness, exhaustion and, in extreme cases, convulsions and death. Salt is essential to our well being.
