Celtic Sea Salt® Brand - The Original Brand - is authentic, unprocessed whole salt from one of the most pristine coastal regions of France. Since 1976, Celtic Sea Salt® Brand has been harvested by salt farmers using a method that preserves the purity and balance of ocean minerals.
There are basically three kinds of salt:
1) Sodium Chloride. Normal table salt. This is toxic and bad for your health, as you have been told.
2) So called "sea salt". This should be good for you but unfortunately it has been processed and many of the valuable minerals removed. It's not much better than normal table salt.
3) "Celtic sea salt" or "macrobiotic, hand-harvested, sun-dried sea salt". This is SUPER GOOD FOR YOU! And delicious! We NEED salt - REAL salt. We sweat salt. Our cells are full of salt. We cry salt. We need all the minerals, and things that science has not yet discovered that are in the sea. We all need this salt for ideal health.
Salt is a vital substance for the survival of all living creatures, particularly
humans. Water and salt regulate the water levels of the body. Water itself
regulates the aquatic content of the interior of the cell by working its
way into all of the cells it reaches. It has to get there to cleanse and
extract the toxic wastes of cell metabolisms. Salt forces some water to stay
outside the cells. It balances the amount of water that stays outside the
cells. Good health depends on a most delicate balance between the ratio of
water inside and outside the cells, and this balance is achieved by salt
- unrefined salt.
The mineral content of Celtic Sea Salt, though small, makes this salt an
important part of a healthful diet. Celtic Sea Salt is not a mineral supplement.
Although this salt contains a wide range of minerals and trace elements,
they are in small amounts. We believe, as do many health practitioners and
medical doctors across the country, that Celtic Sea Salt is an important
part of a healthy diet. Lynne August, M.D. says that when isolated sodium
chloride (i.e. common table salt) is used, it affects the body like a drug.
Celtic Sea Salt, a whole salt, naturally contains a variety of minerals that
each play a part in the way that the body effectively uses this salt.
If you ever heard someone say, "well, let's see if you're worth your
salt!", you were listening to an ancient saying that came from a time
when people were actually paid in salt. In fact, the word salary
is derived from salt. That indicates how essential and valuable true salt
is to our diet.
