Soma Salt
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.
Tests reveal the following mineral content: Calcium 361 mg per 100 g, Iron 1.1 per 100 g, Magnesium 102 per 100 g, Potassium 1600 mg per 100g, Sodium 16,800 mg per 100g.
The salt has been tested for unwanted minerals, heavy metals, or contaminants.

SOMA SALT WINS OUT!
Posted by Darlene Yarbrough on 3rd Apr 2014
I used soma salt for a few months and then ran out. So, I decided to use up the remaining sea salt I had on hand from earlier. I could hardly eat the food I salted with it. The sea salt was harsh. It seemed too salty. I have always called Soma Salt "soft salt". It seems to melt into the food. Fortunately, my order has arrived with two envelopes of soma salt so I won't run out.

Very nice salt
Posted by Gaurav on 27th Feb 2014
Soft and silky are the words that come to mind to describe it! Have been using this salt ever since I came to know about it. Going back to the commercial table salt after using this feels like ingesting a firecracker.......

Best salt anywhere!!
Posted by Sita on 17th Oct 2013
This is by far the best salt available anywhere! The flavor is great, and both my husband and I noticed that it never causes any joint swelling like regular salt. I use it in all my cooking as well as on the table. Highly recommend it - I just wish that it was available in larger packages :)

Very little for a lot of flavor
Posted by Helen on 19th Aug 2013
I bought this on the recommendation of an Ayurveda practitioner. I use it whenever I cook. It took a little getting used to, because you can use less than regular table salt, for the same salty flavor. At first I used what I considered a "normal" amount, and the dish tasted too salty. The next few times, I used substantially less, and then it actually wasn't salty enough. I don't know the exact formula, but you might start out using 1/2 what you'd normally use, and adjust from there.
The salt is a very fine powder, with a slight pinkish tinge. I keep it in a glass jar for convenience. Over time, due to moisture in the air, the salt has caked up a bit, but it is easy to break up to use.
It is a little less convenient to use than granulated table salt, because due to the caking, you can't really sprinkle it from a shaker. Every time I want to use it, I need to use a clean, dry spoon to scoop it out. But considering the health benefits, I think this it is well worth this slight hassle. I have just bought my second bag, and one for my parents as well.

best salt ever
Posted by pati on 8th Aug 2013
I love salt. I have a large variety of special, natural salts. The only one I use is the Soma Salt, since it is by far the very best tasting salt I have ever had. It is truly satisfying to the palate, and the bonus is that it is so great for our bodies. It is the premium salt for mankind!
