Celtic Sea Salt is hand-harvested, sun-dried sea salt. This is SUPER GOOD FOR YOU! And delicious! Our body's electrolyte system needs salt - REAL salt - as does our kidneys and hormones. 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.
When the body is short of salt, the body is short of water. The salivary glands sense the salt shortage and produce more saliva to lubricate the act of chewing and swallowing and 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.
We've often written about Celtic Sea Salt and at this time of year when the seasonal festivities encourage us to eat more than usual, we may as well eat as healthily as we can. In his work "Water: Rx for a Healthier Pain-Free Life" Dr. Batmanghelidj includes the benefits of unrefined sea salt as being beneficial for:
? stabilizing irregular heartbeats. 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.
? the extraction of excess acidity from the cells in the body, particularly the brain cells.
? balancing the sugar levels in the blood; a needed element in diabetics.
? 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.
? the nerve cells' communication and information processing all the time that the brain cells work, from the moment of conception to death.
? absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract.
? the clearance of the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis.
? clearing up catarrh and congestion of the sinuses.
? the prevention of muscle cramps.
? preventing 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.
? making the structure of bones firm. Osteoporosis, in a major way, is a result of salt and water shortage in the body.
? sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic.
? a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics.
? stopping persistent dry coughs (salt on the tongue)
? the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis.
? maintaining sexuality and libido.
? preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs.
? the communication and information processing nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death.
? 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.
