What is blue salt?
Blue salt is the same as edible or table salt that, due to the presence of specific minerals such as sylvite, iron, calcium, and potassium, and under specific environmental conditions, like humidity and pressure, acquires this beautiful color. The blue color of the crystals in this type of salt is completely natural.
Blue salt is one of the rarest salts globally and is found only in Iran, specifically in the mountains around Semnan city and within the mines of Garmsar. While blue salt is also discovered in three other countries, it holds a prominent position among all salts because Iranian blue salt is the only edible blue salt in the world.
Blue salt (blue gemstone), also known as Persian Blue Salt, is a type of salt recognized worldwide. This luxurious and miraculous salt is only found in mines in Iran. Perhaps, until a few years ago, no one knew about the beneficial properties of this substance. However, with the advancement of technology and the discovery of its valuable benefits, it has become known globally as Persian blue salt.
Today, a significant portion of this valuable substance is exported to other countries, and it has become an essential and luxurious element in all restaurants and large stores worldwide. Among the wide variety of salt types, blue salt is the rarest and most luxurious, used in the finest restaurants around the world.
Among the various types of salt, the rarest and most valuable is Persian blue salt. Persian blue salt, unlike sea salt extracted from salt pans, is an accumulation and sediment of crystalline blue salt, which formed approximately 250 million years ago in seas and lakes. This rare and precious blue salt is the result of the evaporation of seas and lakes.
Blue salt from Semnan is extracted from the mines and mountains of Semnan province in northern Iran, especially from the beautiful mountain ranges of this region.
The salt that has taken the form of a fossil over thousands of years, unlike sea salt extracted from salt pans, Persian blue salt is a salt fossil or gemstone formed by its crystals millions of years ago. This salt, also known as Eastern Blue Sapphire, was formed due to the evaporation of ancient seas and inland lakes. Persian blue salt existed alongside species that disappeared at the end of the Cretaceous period when the dinosaurs went extinct, possibly due to a meteor impact, volcanic eruptions, or ocean regression.
The blue color of Persian blue salt is derived from the mineral substance potassium chloride, which has naturally formed within the crystalline structure of the salt. There are no artificial additives such as synthetic colors added to it, and its color is a combination of the intrinsic properties of the blue salt itself.
The benefits of blue salt
Blue salt is packed with numerous minerals, making it beneficial for our bodies and overall health. Its mineral composition includes potassium, calcium, iron, sodium, and magnesium (one of the key factors contributing to its blue color). These elements have significant importance for our health and well-being.
The properties of blue salt include
16- Improving and treating high and low cholesterol.
1. Antiseptic and Antibacterial Properties:
The combination of mineral blue crystal salt and water creates a very powerful antiseptic solution. The solution made with blue crystal salt has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties and can be used for various purposes. Some of the remarkable benefits of this solution include preserving food and edibles items, disinfecting the mouth and teeth, controlling and treating throat infections and colds, as well as skin disinfection. According to modern medical research and traditional medicine, the human mouth is a gathering place for various microbes and bacteria, which are eliminated and neutralized when consuming salt, both before and during meals.
2. Blood Pressure Regulation with Blue Salt:
Although we have been told many times that salt consumption can play a significant role in developing high blood pressure, and healthcare professionals always advise us to reduce salt intake, recent researches conducted by American doctors contradicts this notion. Physicians and scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have confirmed in their recent report that the "potassium" present in "natural salt," especially in blue crystal salt, which is rich in potassium, reduces the risk of high blood pressure. Additionally, the potassium in salt and potassium-containing foods aids in rapidly excreting excess sodium from the body and helps lower blood pressure levels.
3. Body Balance Regulation:
Low sodium levels in the body are the most common electrolyte imbalance. Initially, this might seem a bit unusual when we realize that our bodies generate electricity. The salt consumed and present in the body, referred to as electrolyte, is an ionic compound that, in water, breaks down into positive and negative electric charges, thereby enabling the body's electrical activity. This electrical activity is crucial for muscle coordination, better heart function, improved fluid absorption, proper excretion, and the functioning of the vital nervous system. People often lose electrolytes within their bodies due to factors like sweating, illness, medication use, or other reasons, and this is where the consumption of blue salt plays a significant role in regulating the body's balance.
4. Anti-Stress:
Studies by American scientists indicate that the consumption of an appropriate amount of natural salt, especially blue salt, in stressful and tense conditions, leads to an increase in oxytocin hormone. This hormone is responsible for creating a sense of well-being and happiness.
5. Aid in Digestion:
Saliva is produced by salivary glands. The more saliva mixes and combines with food, the food descends more quickly down the throat and is digested faster. Consuming and introducing salt into the mouth stimulates the glands around the mouth. This stimulation accelerates their secretion, leading to the production of more saliva. For this reason, it aids in digesting food more quickly and preparing it for digestion.
6. Relief of Respiratory Problems:
The benefits of blue salt extend beyond consumption alone. Throughout the world, they have created large salt treatment rooms and halotherapy rooms. In this method, patients with respiratory problems are placed in that rooms covered with salt, and the patient's body is covered with natural salt. At this stage, the patient inhales air with salt particles.
According to the American Lung Association, a prevalent theory regarding the function of salt therapy (halotherapy) suggests that tiny salt particles, when inhaled, transfer moisture to the respiratory passages and lungs. They also thin the mucus, facilitating the dry cough of patients and improving the respiratory system of patients.
7. Boosting the Immune System:
Natural salt, especially blue crystal salt, is one of the essential and vital nutrients for the proper functioning and metabolism of the human brain and body. The consumption of natural blue salt, typically derived from mineral salt rocks, is not only non-harmful but also, according to ancient traditional medicine sources and modern medical data, it acts as a very powerful "antidote." It helps prevent various diseases, including heart, kidney, liver, and skin diseases, by acting as a potent protector against them.
Amazing Benefits of Blue Crystal Salt
- Regular use and replacing this salt instead of iodized salt reduce mortality, thanks to the presence of potassium in its structure.
- Using this salt helps strengthen muscles and bones.
- Blue crystal salt is highly beneficial for muscle contractions and the cardiovascular system.
- Blue crystal salt plays a vital role in various reactions, such as energy production, protein formation, and muscle movement.
- This salt significantly reduces the risk of high blood pressure and the development of heart disease.
- Physicians and scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have confirmed in their recent report that the "potassium" present in "natural salt," especially in blue crystal salt, which is rich in potassium, reduces the risk of high blood pressure.
How to determine blue salt is real or fake?
Another important point is that if you're obtaining blue crystal salt, be aware that this salt is never entirely and uniformly blue. It's a combination of white crystals with blue streaks or blue bits and pieces. Now, if you're using coarse-grain, medium-grain, or fine-grain salt other than crystal salt, Pay attention to the ratio of each grain size. There should be fewer blue grains. In other words, the larger the salt, the less blue color will be visible, resulting in a lighter and less intense blue.
How to Store Blue Crystal Salt
✓ To ensure protection against environmental hazards, store blue crystal salt in high-quality glass containers with airtight lids, and make sure the salt is always kept in dry and dark conditions to preserve its special properties.
✓ Avoid storing salt near or on top of a gas stove, as cooking in this area generates high humidity that can quickly cause the salt to clump.
