Himalayan Salt has 84 Minerals - Foundational Health

My Name is Walt Ingvoldstad and I am a Natural Health Therapist & Coach. Himalayan Salt is one of my 5 most recommended food/frequency substances that contributes to robust vitality, mental clarity and high immune function or illness/cold/flu prevention.

Allow me to give you a broad description of Himalayan Salt, why it is a unique type of salt and why it is so very important to have some every day.

Himalayan salt is profoundly amazing. It is 200 Million plus years old and has been nurtured by earth energy and pressure over this time. This ancient sea salt has been alchemized over millions of years into a special energized crystalline form in a process analogous to how coal gradually becomes a diamond. The 84 minerals in this salt are in an ionic form which is molecular instead of colloidal like regular sea salt. It is therefore more easily absorbable and much more use-able by our bodies than any sea salt. Sea salt because of its relatively large size is difficult for the body to digest and use whereas ionic Himalayan salt is molecular and virtually no digestion is required.

Why not ingest sea salt? Sea salt may dehydrate the body whereas Himalayan salt actually hydrates our tissue! Sea salt is difficult to digest and assimilate for our bodies because it is not
At the organic mineral electrolyte size which is immediately usable in our blood and cells. No digestion is required for Himalayan Salt. It is therefore immediately available for use throughout the body shortly after drinking some dissolved in water – unlike sea salt! When in solution with water it becomes a solution referred to as Sole, which is electrical in nature and no longer molecular! Because the sole is electrical in nature, it therefore imparts energy for our bodies to use that other foods do not contain. Many sensitive people feel the energy from the salt immediately upon drinking a glass of the water with sole added – I find this is true for at least 1 of 10 people who sample it when I am present. See how you feel after drinking it!

Peter Ferreira is a biological physicist who collaborated with Dr. Barbara Hendel on the book, “Salt and Water”. He discusses how the Himalayan Crystal salt has a near perfect crystalline structure – unlike sea salt that contributes the unique crystalline energy to the salt water matrix which is then contributes to our energy for up to 24 hours or more. Sea salt does not have the energetic nature of the Himalayan Salt. Sea salt is still an important nutrient that feeds the pro-biotics or friendly bacteria in our digestive tract. Himalayan salt is often directly absorbed right through our stomach lining before reaching our digestive tract especially when consumed in water on an empty stomach. It has an immediate, profound beneficial effect upon our blood health and immediately stimulates our red blood cells thereby activating the efficiency of our oxygen transport system!

Minerals are the foundational nutrient for the entire body. Every process in the body requires minerals and enzymes. Studies have shown that everyone with a disease has at least one major mineral deficiency. Mineral deficiencies are also present with those dying of natural causes. Organic minerals at a molecular level are also referred to as electrolytes. When we look at the word electro-lytes we can see this: Electrons “turning” the lights on --- eg. We ARE electrical energy beings first and foremost and these electrolytes help to increase our energy, balance and add to every system of our body thru the action of there vibration or the unique signature of each of the 84 minerals that are present and their associated electrons.

Preparation:

Fill a small glass with the pink salt rocks up to 30% - 50% of the glass. Add good quality water like spring water, Fiji water, distilled, and filtered water or water activated for a day in the sun light. Please do not use tap water due to its toxicity. The authors of the book, “Salt & Water”, recommend Fiji water to be the best water tested world-wide out of over 100 water samples.

Allow it to sit for about 1 day or at least overnight. It takes 12 or so hours for the solution to reach the saturation point of 27% salt. The saturation point is when the solution has its optimal energy for us to receive. This solution is anti-bacterial, viral and fungal and does not go bad or need refrigeration. I leave mine on the counter in a small 12 ounce glass with a cover and a plastic spoon. Do not use a metal spoon because of its electrical properties – the spoons metal will ‘steal’ the electrons right out of solution and you want those electrons to activate your energy! Therefore, use a plastic or wooden spoon!

Be sure to consistently add salt as it is dissolved and used as you add water because you always want the solution to be completely and naturally saturated with the Himalayan Salt. Don’t allow all the salt on the bottom to disappear because you do want the salt to always be available in the glass to create the maximum concentration of salt in the water. Therefore, always have extra salt on the bottom of the glass! Add water when appropriate to fill your glass up after the water level goes down after you make your Sol salt drink over a period of days and multiple servings.

Serving:
Add 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of the Salt Sol solution to one glass of water in the morning to start your day. You may take a second serving if you are stressed or need energy boost in the late afternoon or evening. Only have a second serving when you need one. Those who want to rebuild, rejuvenate and renew from illness or a health crisis may want to take a second serving per day. I have had active 20 hour days where I take up to 6-8 servings and drink over 6 quarts of water.

Know this – Organic ionic salt as electrolyte minerals is required as the foundational building material for everything in our bodies. All enzymes and protein production in our bodies depend upon minerals. You were probably also never told that cellular hydration and the elimination of cellular acid wastes of metabolism depends totally upon electrolyte minerals! . Begin with 1 tsp serving per day – preferable in the morning and add a second as a ‘pick me up’ afternoon or early evening drink and slowly add more. I average 3-4 quarts per day with 1 tbl. of Sole added per quart. This would be too much for most people as a beginning serving because I have been drinking sole for years. If you focus on ‘how you feel’, then your body will cue you to give it more or less sole – depending upon what your body requires.

Ingesting a significant amount of Himalayan salt may cause discomfort due to it assisting your body to rapidly go thru a detoxification process. It is the ultimate dissolving solution and it will act to rid your body of toxins. This discomfort may manifest as a mild headache or body ache. It may also manifest as mental ‘brain fog’ or sleeping for 10 plus hours. If this occurs simply reduce your dosage. I have found that some people can handle and manage a serving (1tsp), of this 3 times per day for conditions like illness, disease, arthritis and chronic fatigue. Please discern that drinking larger amounts like 8 tsp. of Sol in a day can cause the aforementioned cleansing reactions

Conclusion:
Himalayan Salt is very low cost, pennies per day. It is an extremely low cost high benefit method of receiving the recharging, purifying and renewing health benefits of the “earth mother” without having to do much else to restore and renew your vitality and health.

Where to Purchase Himalayan Salt
My supplier is Solay Wellness in Skokie. They purchase the salt directly from the source location in the Himalayas of Northern Pakistan. It has the same amazing energizing properties of the “Original Himalayan Salt” sold in the USA since just after 2001 over the internet. I recommend beginning with a 'Starter Jar' by clicking here.
