One of the benefits of natural salt is its high mineral content, which has extensive health benefits. Below, weâll share which minerals youâll find in natural salt and how they can impact your health.
Why Salt With Minerals is Beneficial
Unlike table salt which undergoes a chemical refining process that strips the sodium chloride of minerals, natural salts, like Himalayan Pink Salt, Celtic Sea Salt, and Bamboo Salt contain an abundance of trace minerals. These minerals literally âcling onâ to the sodium chloride and stay with it as it forms a crystal structure.
Natural saltâs mineral concentration helps us maintain proper hydration and an adequate sodium-potassium ratio. Without minerals, sodium chloride can disrupt the bodyâs natural electrolyte balance and increase blood pressure.

The mix of minerals and quantities varies depending on the type of salt and individual batch.
For instance, bamboo salt begins as hand-harvested sea salt from the Korean coast, but after it's roasted in bamboo stalks, the natural oils from the bamboo seep into the salt, boosting its mineral content, making it uniquely healthy.Â
