Are you getting what you paid for?

To ensure you are getting what you paid for consider the following criteria:

  1. It is important to check the salts Mineral Analysis is available. If this is not available I would question its integrity.
  2. Hand Harvested Coarse Sea Salt naturally retains moisture. If the Salt appears dry anti-caking agents have been added.
  3. If the crystals are large and clear the product has been washed and therefore is no better than refined table salts.
  4. No matter what label is given to cheap salt it is merely a by-product that contains not much more than Sodium Chloride which has been massed produced to save money.
  5. Prior to purchasing, ask if they test for pesticide residues, have they got a mineral analysis, do they have any information on sea salt?
  6. You can be guaranteed that Salt of the Earth’s Hand Harvested Celtic Sea Salt contains all of the benefits throughout this website. 100% Organically Hand Harvested with no additives, just as nature intended.

Where Should I store my SALT of the EARTH Sea Salt?
You can store it in it’s own resealable packaging or any air-tight container. Keep in the pantry out of direct sunlight or best refrigerated in a humid climate.

Why are Sea Salt crystals moist?
Hand Harvested Sea Salt comes from the evaporation of salt water. As this is an natural product no anti-caking agents (aluminium silicate) are added, therefore, Sea Salt will naturally attract moisture. Moist crystals are fine to use in cooking, however, remember to slightly dry your coarse crystals prior to filling your grinder.

Minerals are essential for good health. The body utilizes over 80 minerals for maximum function. Like seawater that neutralizes various toxins streaming into the ocean from the land, the minerals in the circulatory system serve to maintain smooth metabolism by harmonizing the influx of excessive dietary factors. This balance is dependant on the levels of different minerals in the body and especially the ratios of certain mineral levels to each other. When we are deficient in one mineral, all of the other minerals are affected. If not corrected, this can start a chain reaction of imbalances that lead to illness.  The more you learn about the benefits of minerals, the more you will be able to take charge of your own health!

Every living cell depends on minerals for proper structure and function. Minerals are needed for the formation of blood and bones, the proper composition of body fluids, healthy nerve function and proper operation of the cardiovascular system, among others. Like vitamins, minerals function as coenzymes, enabling the body to perform its functions including energy production, growth and healing. Because all enzyme activities involve minerals, they are essential for the proper utilization of vitamins and other nutrients.

Nutritionally, minerals belong to two groups: bulk or essential minerals and trace minerals. Bulk minerals like Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium and Phosphorus are needed in the body in larger amounts. Although only minute quantities of trace minerals are needed, they are nevertheless important for good health. Trace minerals like Boron, Chromium, Copper, Germanium, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium, Silicon, Sulphur, Vanadium and Zinc.

At Salt of the Earth we care about the quality of our products and have tests performed by Australia’s Leading Advanced Analytical Laboratories to ensure our salt has a balanced mineral level, is free from pesticide residues and any harmful contaminants. We believe that a constant supply of various minerals in the form of good quality unrefined Salt of the Earth’s Sea Salt, whole grains and vegetables are necessary and highly recommended for daily life.

Mineral Benefits

Chloride

Small amounts of Chloride are essential for life; they pass through the digestive system unchanged and become part of wastewater. Chloride along with Sodium is found in the extracellular fluid and makes up approximately 0.15% of the bodies weight. Chloride works with Sodium and Potassium to help maintain the proper distribution and pH of all bodily fluids and encourages healthy nerve and muscle function. Independently, chloride contributes to digestion and waste elimination. It is a key component of hydrochloric acid, one of the gastric juices that digest foods. Deficiencies occur from excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhoea. Low levels of Chloride can result in alkalinity of the body fluids, dehydration and loss of potassium through wastewater.

Sodium

Sodium helps maintain proper water balance and blood pH levels for the efficient functioning of the stomach, nerves and muscles and is pumped out of cell membranes in exchange for potassium. Deficiency of Sodium can cause abdominal cramps, anorexia, confusion, dehydration, depression, dizziness, fatigue, flatulence, hallucinations, headaches, heart palpitations, impaired sense of taste, lethargy, low blood pressure, memory impairment, muscular weakness, nausea, poor coordination, recurring infections, seizures and weight loss.

Water

Water makes up approximately 70% of the human body. This water content is responsible for and involved in nearly every bodily process, including digestion, absorption, circulation, and excretion. Water is also the primary distributor of nutrients throughout the body and is necessary for all building functions in the body and to maintain a normal body temperature.


Sulphur

Sulphur is important to disinfect blood and help the body to resist bacteria. This mineral assists in protecting your body against toxic substances and harmful effects of radiation and pollution. It also stimulates bile secretion and helps slow down the aging process.

Sources: Brussels Sprouts, Dried Beans, Cabbage, Eggs, Fish, Garlic, Kale, Meats, Onions, Salt of the Earth’s Sea Salt, Soybeans, Turnips and Wheat Germ.


Calcium

Calcium as most people are aware is essential for the construction, formation and maintenance of bones and teeth helping to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. This essential mineral also aids blood pressure, blood clotting, muscular growth, nerve transmission, cancer prevention, produces energy, breaks down fats and is believed to reduce the risk of premature heart disease. Calcium works in perfect synergy with Magnesium as Calcium contracts muscles and Magnesium relaxes them. A deficiency can cause aching joints, brittle nails, convulsions, depression, delusions, elevated blood cholesterol, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, hyperactivity eczema, insomnia, muscle cramps, nervousness, numbness of limbs, pale complexion, rheumatoid arthritis, rickets and tooth decay.

Magnesium

Magnesium is essential to the body assisting in the utilisation of Calcium, cardiac functioning, blood pressure, production of energy and restful sleeping. When the body is lacking Magnesium, Calcium invades the muscles causing cramps. Researchers have found that heart attack victims generally have low levels of Magnesium in the blood and heart muscles. Deficiency symptoms include; asthma, cardiac arrest, cardiac arrhythmia, chronic fatigue, chronic pain syndromes, confusion, depression, hypertension, insomnia, irritability, irritable bowel syndrome, poor digestion, pulmonary disorders, rapid heart beating and seizures.
Heart Attack Tip: did you know that if magnesium is introduced to a heart attack victim as soon as possible, they have a 60% better chance of surviving than without?

Potassium

Potassium assists in maintaining the balance of body fluids, transmitting nerve signals, insulin release and muscle contraction. It is common for people to be deficient in Potassium due to the high intake of refined products, as well as taking diuretics and drinking large quantities of water flushing out vital potassium. A deficiency in Potassium may produce fatigue, weakness, mental depression, low blood pressure, muscular fatigue, salt retention and an abnormal heartbeat.

Boron

Boron is a trace mineral primarily needed for healthy bones and teeth, and the proper metabolism of the essential minerals calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Boron also enhances brain function, promotes/improves alertness, helps to prevent osteoporosis, and builds muscles. Boron deficiency also accentuates vitamin D deficiency. It is required to convert vitamin D to its most active form within the kidneys. It also appears that boron is required to activate certain hormones including estrogen.

Sources: Apples, Carrots, Grains, Grapes, Leafy Vegetables, Nuts, Pears and Salt of the Earth’s Sea Salt.


Iron

Iron is a vital component of many enzymes. It can promote resistance to disease, prevents fatigue and assists in the oxygenation of red blood cells. A deficiency can cause anaemia, low concentration levels, intestinal bleeding, brittle hair, dizziness, fragile bones, nervousness, obesity, reduced physical capacity, and decreased immune functioning.

However, tea, coffee, bran and phytates can decrease iron absorption.


Manganese

The mineral Manganese is essential for the proper formation and maintenance of bone, cartilage, and connective tissue. It contributes to the synthesis of proteins and genetic material, and helps produce energy from foods. It also acts as an antioxidant and assists in normal blood clotting. Manganese is an important cofactor in the key enzymes of glucose metabolism. It has been found that a deficiency results in diabetes as well as the frequent birth of offspring who develop pancreatic abnormalities or no pancreas at all. Another interesting fact is that diabetics have been shown to have half the level of manganese that normal individuals have.
