Salt has many functions - other than just regulating the water content in the body -
according to Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D.:
“Salt is a strong natural antihistamine. It can be used to relieve asthma by putting it on the tongue
after drinking a glass or two of water.”
“Salt is vital for extracting excess acidity from inside the cells, particularly the brain cells. If you don’t
want Alzheimer’s disease, don’t go salt-free…”
“Salt is the best diuretic that exists.”
“Salt is vital for the kidneys to clear excess acidity and pass the acidity into the urine. Without
sufficient salt in the body, the body will become more and more acidic.”
“Salt is essential in the treatment of emotional and affective disorders.”
“Salt is essential for preserving the seratonin and melatonin levels in the brain. When water and salt
perform their natural antioxidant duties and clear the toxic waste from the body, essential amino
acids will not be sacrificed as chemical antioxidants.”
“Salt, in my opinion, is vital for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Cancer cells are killed by
oxygen; they are anaerobic ‘organisms’… dehydration - shortage of water and salt - suppresses the
immune system and its disease-fighting cells’ activity…”
“Salt is vital for maintaining muscle tone and strength. Lack of bladder control in those who suffer
from involuntary leakage of urine could be a consequence of low salt intake.”
“Salt is effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, contrary to the misconception that it causes
high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with
water.”
“Salt is vital for sleep regulation.”
“Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics. It helps balance the sugar levels in the
blood and reduces the need for (injected) insulin.”
“Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in all of the cells of the body.”
“Salt is vital to the communication and information processing of nerve cells the entire time that the
brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death.”
“Salt is essential for the absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract.”
“Salt is vital for clearing the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma,
emphysema and cystic fibrosis sufferers.”
“Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs.”
“Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and sinus congestion.”
“Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis.”
“Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps.”
“Osteoporosis, in a major way, is the result of salt and water shortage in the body.”
“Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm.”
“Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido.”
“Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs.”
According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D., “As a rule of thumb, you need about 3 grams of salt - a half
teaspoon - for every 10 glasses of water, or a quarter teaspoon per quart of water.” (Place a few
grains on your tongue after each glass of water.)
Salt is vital for reducing a double chin. When the body is short of salt, it means the body really is
short of water. The salivary glands sense the salt shortage and are obliged to produce more saliva
to lubricate the act of chewing and swallowing and also to supply the stomach with water that it
needs for breaking down foods. Circulation to the salivary glands increases and the blood vessels
become “leaky” in order to supply the glands with water to manufacture saliva. The “leakiness” spills
beyond the area of the glands themselves, causing increased bulk under the skin of the chin, the
cheeks and into the neck.
Crystal salt contains 84 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed
in trace amounts. Ordinary table salt that is bought in the super markets has been stripped of its
companion elements and contains additive elements such as aluminum silicate to keep it powdery
and porous. Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the
primary causes of Alzheimer’s disease.
Twenty-seven percent of the body’s salt is in the bones. Osteoporosis results when the body needs
more salt and takes it from the body. Bones are twenty-two percent water. Is it not obvious what
happens to the bones when we’re deficient in salt or water or both.
Those in heart failure – or kidney failure needing dialysis – MUST consult their doctors before
increasing their salt intake.
Salt hydrates the cells, it contains vital life energy, and charges bodily fluids with spare electrons. All
these spare electrons make the salt a powerful antioxidant–and the only one that works everywhere
in the body. In addition, other antioxidants are enhanced in their effectiveness when in the presence
of this special salt.
The importance of anti-oxidant protection in regard to maintaining good health has become
common knowledge in recent years. Free radicals are now considered to be the single most
significant cause of premature aging and degenerative diseases. A free radical is a molecule that is
missing one or more electrons needed to be in a state of balance. Since seeking balance is intrinsic
to everything in nature, free radicals aggressively steal electrons from every source they can find. In
the human body, the phospholipid membranes of the cells are, unfortunately, end up being a great
supplier of electrons for free radicals–to our great disadvantage.By losing electrons, cell
membranes literally become rancid and dysfunctional, and accumulated damage shows up as
premature aging, as well as virtually every disease known to medicine.
Antioxidants are nature’s way to minimize this ongoing damage. They can give spare electrons to
free radicals, thus neutralizing them without damage to the cell membranes. While there are many
antioxidants that are very health enhancing, they all have one fundamental limitation: They work only
in some areas of the body. Vitamin C and E, for example, provide fine anti-oxidant protection in the
blood vessels and in the extra cellular fluids; however, they do little inside the cell. And selenium
works well in the blood and in the brain, while OPCs (Oligoproanthocyanides) are most effective
outside the cells and in the lymphatic system.
Crystalline salt, however, works everywhere in the body. Once it is introduced into the system a
profound regeneration of the cell membranes becomes possible. Other antioxidants are also
enhanced in their effectiveness when this special salt is present. That’s because it contains all 72
mineral elements believed essential for health in ideal proportion. And what’s equally important is
that these minerals are in ionic form and only one angstrom in particle size. An angstrom is one
million times smaller than a micron, which is the particle size of the colloidal minerals sold by many
health companies today. This means the minerals in crystal salt are more readily absorbable and
usable than those in colloidal form, since the body doesn’t have to break them down into smaller
particles.
And because of its balanced mineral spectrum, crystal salt affects your acid/alkaline balance in the
most positive way. If you are overly acidic the salt helps to alkalize the body very quickly. If you are
overly alkaline, which is rare, but happens in some cases, it helps rebalance your minerals because
over alkalinity is usually simply a mineral imbalance in the mineral metabolism of your body. So,
either way, Himalayan crystal salt is a great asset in having completely balanced acid/alkaline
metabolism. The salt’s electrolyte properties make it a great pick-me-up after a hard exercise
workout, as well. Just take a glass of filtered water, add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice,
and you’ll have a broad spectrum of naturally occurring electrolytes to replenish those lost by the
body during physical activity.
Another possible benefit from using the salt could be the lessening of certain cravings. According to
Traditional Chinese Medicine, refined salt is extremely yang or rigidifying. That’s why using it
excessively can lead to hardened deposits in the body and stiffening joints and blood vessels. Sugar
and alcohol are extremely yin, or energetically softening, so often the over consumption of refined
salt leads to cravings of sweets and alcohol in the body’s effort to bring balance to an overly yang
environment. Because using a crystalline salt helps bring a natural balance to the system overall, it
may actually alleviate, instead of aggravate, sugar and alcohol cravings and the binge eating of
sweets in some people.
The mineral composition of this special salt also plays a major role in heart health. Refined salt
dehydrates us so that our blood actually gets thicker and the body has to increase blood pressure to
move the thickened blood into the arteries and capillaries. Crystal salt, on the other hand, provides
the minerals and trace elements that are needed in human blood in very similar proportions to what’
s required for optimum blood plasma. And it helps us stay hydrated because it electrically charges
the body in such a way that we can use water more efficiently, so the blood stays naturally thin,
moving easily through the system of arteries and capillaries.
Some people use the crystal salt and within weeks their high blood pressure starts to normalize. On
the other hand, if someone has low blood pressure, crystalline salt helps raise their pressure up
slightly so it’s at a normal level. If you use the salt and are also on medication, you might want to
monitor yourself closely under the supervision of a healthcare professional–the reason being that
crystal salt may correct your blood pressure and you may end up no longer needing the medication.
And continuing to take it when it’s no longer necessary can cause harmful side effects. Whatever
your particular blood pressure problems are, they are probably related in some way to mineral
deficiency and dehydration, and this special salt can help with both issues.
In a 2 year study done with 400 people, it was found that using crystal salt not only can help balance
blood pressure, but also eliminate calcium deposits, un-clump red blood cells, and detox the blood.
And it does this while also increasing the body’s usable oxygen. All of this is the exact opposite of
the effect table salt has on the body. Our bodies are 70% – 80% water, but that’s only part of the
story. It is the type of salt in the body’s water content that actually turns it into either a “living liquid” or
health hazard. Christian Opitz, who has spent years focusing on the biochemistry of health, has said
that “salt is indeed the foundation of life, so the quality of the salt we use determines the nature of
that foundation for our own lives.”

The Healing Effects of Salt
For thousands of years natural salt has been known as a panacea. Alchemists called it "the fifth
element" - besides water, earth, air, and fire - because it's qualities were comparable only to ether,
the actual fifth element. Why are we so drawn to the ocean? Because our subconscious mind
instinctively wants to return to the specific vibrational state of the ocean from which we once
emerged. This is where we can return to "recharge our batteries" and regenerate.
We are witnessing a spiritual evolution and are part of a shift in awareness which involves the
return back to natural, holistic methods for living and caring for our bodies. Within this shift, people
everywhere are reconsidering the healing effects of natural crystal salt.
