Healing Minerals - More on Natural Sea Salts as a Source of Minerals - Where to Buy
4 comments Posted by Emjae Johnson at 9:48 PMSome friends of mine have been shopping around at their local health food stores and Gourmet shops for Natural Sea Salt after reading my article High Mineral Sea Salt - One of God's Gifts . I never thought that purchasing this type of salt would be that difficult but apparently, at the local level, it is not that easy to obtain at a reasonable price. So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and see what I could find on the Internet for them.
I have always purchased mine from the Internet and really have never had a problem but some companies I would say are better than others. Although these are not ALL the sources on the Internet for this type of salt, they're among the best, in my opinion and not so over-priced.
I have found that whenever anything has healing or curative properties, there are many who will mark the price up very high because of the demand. Still others with try to produce a cheap imitation of the product. This I think is even worse because consumers will purchase an imitation product thinking that it is "just as good" and when they do not have any success with it then it is "POO-PAAHD" as just another one of those natural remedies that don't work. This gives alternative healing methods a very bad name.
Funny, when you purchase a pharmaceutical and it is not the original brand they tell you that it is a generic. They do so because it may not be "as good" --- the same is true with alternative healing products and remedies... the generics may not be "as good".
So, when you shop around for a product I recommend you try the leader or original product first -- the one that may have the highest price but they were also the company that came out with or discovered the product. Once you try the original and see how it works then try to experiment by trying the imitations or generics. I think you will find that most of the time you will go back to the original product, regardless of the price. I find this to be true so often that sometimes I will no longer even try alternate products. Even though using alternative methods and remedies can be less expensive than pharacuticals, it still can pay to do a little comparison shopping.
So, here is the list of the websites I found:
Organic Grey Sea Salt - by Le Tresor - Available at Saltworks
This is certified organic salt harvested in the true celtic methods from France. This company ships fast and also sells in bulk. The Organic Grey Sea Salt - by Le Tresor (coarse grind) is available in approx. one pound pouches (about $9.00 ea.) or 12 pouches for about $5.50 each. They have a very large selection of natural sea salts.
ShopNatural - natural and organic products direct to you! On this site's search box enter "natural sea salt" (without the quote marks) and you will find REAL SALT. This is a brand name. You may be able to find this salt at a local level but the price may not be as low. REAL SALT is from the salt mines in Utah and has about 50 trace minerals, including iodide. This salt flows like table salt, but the taste is so much more mild. Available in a 26oz pouches for around $4.00. It is also available in bulk of 25lbs.
(Original Brand Name) Celtic Sea Salt® - Available at Dowsers This link will take you directly to this site's Sea Salt page. Coarse 1lb bag is approx. $6.50. This is the genuine celtic sea salt and I would have to say they have the best price for this original brand name product that I have found anywhere.
Celtic Gray Sea Salt from Bulk Foods This link will take you right to the page for this salt as this site is very large. I recently purchased a 5lb bag of coarse ground from them for a little over $18.00 including shipping. So far I really like it! There was some confusion as the label said "this product does not contain iodide" and sea salt (if it is natural) does contain trace amounts of iodide. However, I called them and they were very nice. I believe the confusion is from the wholesaler as the wholesaler only listed the main list of minerals (about 5 or 6) on their label and never mentioned any of the trace minerals. This company ships fast!

Real unrefined HIGH MINERAL SEA SALT can be pinkish to even greyish in color and it is very moist, not dry and smooth flowing as we expect salt to be. High Mineral SEA SALT is sold under the name of Celtic Sea Salt or Grey Salt, among others. It is full of important minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, sulfur, iron, zinc, copper etc. It’s a natural source of 21 essential minerals and many more lesser elements. This makes High Mineral SEA SALT much better for you than regular "table" salt. Many do not know that we need salt (real salt) to make hydrochloric acid which helps you digest proteins.
“You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency”
Linus Pauling, Ph.D. (Two time Nobel Prize Winner)once said: “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency”
Your body can not make minerals therefore it’s important to get your mineral needs met in some other way. Taking the minerals is only one piece of the puzzle. We need to be taking minerals in a form that our body can use or assimilate. Taking minerals in a vitamin tablet, according to the research, is quite useless. Our body not only has to produce exessive amounts of acid to break down the pill, the minerals cannot be absorbed into the body unless they are in a liquid form. Using SEA SALT is just one tool to help you meet this need. SEA SALT also raises your body's pH and we all know the increasing benefits from raising your pH!
The known benefits and use of SEA SALT has been around for thousands of years and many cultures of the past have viewed it as a very precious commodity...as precious and as valuable as money itself.
1. Salt is most 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. Naturally the proportions are critical.
2. Salt is vital to the extraction of excess acidity from the cells in the body, particularly the brain cells.
3. Salt is vital for balancing the sugar levels in the blood; a needed element in diabetics.
4. Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in the body. It is used for local power generation at the sites of energy need by the cells.
5. Salt is vital to the nerve cells' communication and information processing all the time that the brain cells work, from the moment of conception to death.
6. Salt is vital for absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract.
7. Salt is vital for the clearance of the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis.
8. Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and congestion of the sinuses.
9. Salt is a strong natural antihistamine.
10. Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps.
11. Salt is vital to prevent excess saliva production to the point that it flows out of the mouth during sleep. Needing to constantly mop up excess saliva indicates salt shortage.
12. Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm. Osteoporosis, in a major way, is a result of salt and water shortage in the body.
13. Salt is vital for sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic.
14. Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics.
15. Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs.
16. Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis.
17. Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido.
18. Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs.
19. Salt is vital to the communication and information processing nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death.
20. 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.
21. Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the market. 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.
Since we need to use salt in our diet anyway try real High Mineral SEA SALT! The health benefits as you can see are many and once you use it you will not go back to the other salts...they will not please your taste at all once you try the real thing!
