Celtic Salt
KSh 1,900
Celtic salt, also known as “sel gris” or grey sea salt, is a type of unrefined sea salt harvested by hand in the coastal region of Brittany, France. Its grayish color and moist texture come from its high mineral content and the traditional harvesting methods that involve drying seawater in clay-lined salt ponds.
Potential Health Benefits:
* Electrolyte Balance: The minerals present can help in maintaining proper fluid balance and support nerve and muscle function.
* Hydration: Some believe it aids in better water absorption and retention in the body.
* Nutrient Absorption: It may help stimulate digestive enzymes, potentially improving nutrient uptake.
* Skin Health: When used in baths, the minerals may help soothe skin and relax muscles.
It’s important to note that Celtic salt is still primarily sodium chloride, and excessive intake can lead to the same health risks as other salts. The mineral content, while higher than table salt, is still in trace amounts. Therefore, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
