Product Description

Soma Salt is the preferred salt of the Ancient Ayurvedic texts.

The ancient Charak Samhita, Ayurveda’s central reference text, lists eight edible and beneficial kinds of salt coming from the Himalayas. It names the best among them, Soma Lavan, or Soma Salt.

This cooling variety of salt is said to give numerous benefits in Charak Samhita. Soma Salt is described in Chapter 27, Verse 300 as: rochanam (tasty), deepanam (increasing the digestive fire, which supports all seven tissues), vrishyam (supporting shukra dhatu, or reproductive tissue), chakchushya (supporting the longevity of the eyes by cooling the liver), avidahi cha (not creating a digestive imbalance due to excess heating quality, and not causing retention of toxins as other salts do), tridoshagnam (pacifying all three doshas and having a somewhat sweet taste), lavanottamam (the best of all salts).

Soma Salt is a cooling rock salt, as the name soma suggests. In nature, soma represents the cooling, nurturing elements which are so often missing in modern life. While all salts have a hot (agni) quality, only Soma Salt has the cooling (soma) quality needed to balance it.

Soma Salt is extracted from the mountains of North West India in the historic land of Sindh. In Vaidya Mishra’s Shaka Vansya Ayurvedic lineage, this salt is known as the “Queen of Salts” due to its high mineral content and its unparalleled somagenic qualities.

  1. Salt is smooth 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 11th Dec 2019

    I have been using the pink Himalayan salt, but when my thyroid doctor recommend I use soma salt instead, I switched instantly without a blink. And I really like the smoothness of this soma salt and how it tastes. Really good.

  2. Truly cool salt! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 15th Jul 2019

    Just as Vaidya said this is a cool salt. I use it in all of my cooking and baking. When I eat the prepared items, I always feel good about taking care of myself because the salt has its toxins removed by special preparation.

  3. so far so good 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 27th Mar 2018

    This was recommended by my ayurvedic practitioner as it is a cooling salt. It is very very strong so you only need a little bit compared to regular salt. It comes in a very fine powder form.

  4. Couldn't believe it! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 14th Feb 2018

    If you're on the fence with this product, trust me; you will not regret getting this salt. Not only is the taste WAY better than rock salt but the cooling quality of this salt made a huge difference to me since I have salt with almost every meal.

  5. Excellent quality salt 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 1st Aug 2017

    I tried the Soma salt after seeing several internet posts about Himalian salt containing high concentrations of lead. The soma salt tastes very pure, and it has an invigorating effect, stimulating digestion.

  6. Very nice 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 15th May 2017

    You only need to use a little bit. Love that.

  7. The best of the best!! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 26th Feb 2017

    Amazing!! I will never go back to ANY kind of salt...my food tastes so much better not harsh like other salts....Thank you !

  8. far superior than any other salt 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 6th Jan 2017

    Like all of the other reviews I agree there is no going back! soooo much better than regular sea salt and i feel the difference in my body between the two. Thank you

  9. Goodsalt 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 12th Nov 2016

    I have eaten the salt for several years. I don't feel much difference between this or other natural salt product but on the recommendation of others I feel it's good.

  10. less bloating after this 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 15th Sep 2016

    We completely switched to this salt and i feel i dont bloat as much.It has a nice taste and is not overpowering. You may have a tendency to over use it but be careful. Add after completely cooking the meal so you eat less salt.
    they do form lumps in my wooden container, but i dont mind since i add the lumps in gravy/curry.
    it doesnt sprinkle like table salt but thats because this doesnt have additives and its pure.
