In Ayurveda, Pink Salt is named as “Sindhav”. It is also known as rock salt that is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas, often in Pakistan.
It is a very good source of potassium as its chemical composition is potassium chloride. Potassium is a very essential micro-nutrient for the body. It is important to consume through foods as the body does not produce it naturally. It’s also an electrolyte. Electrolytes conduct electrical impulses throughout the body. They assist in a range of essential body functions, including:
-Blood Pressure
-Normal Water Balance
-Muscle Contractions
-Nerve Impulses
-Digestion
In Ayurveda, when we mention salt, we use “Sindhav” or “Rock Salt” for it’s healing benefits. Ayurveda considers this as one of the “best salts” in all of the salt categories. It has a cooling attribute, which means it doesn’t aggravate heat in the body. It is beneficial and often recommended in moderate consumption for skin conditions and improving eyesight.
