Rock salt : (Saindhava Lavana )
This is the common name for the mineral “halite”.
Its chemical formula is NaCl. Actually, rock salt is not (potassium swfate) K2 SO4 ; it is NaCl.
It can have impurities of gypsum (CaSO4 ) and sylvite (KCl) but it is very rare to find potassium sulfate as a mineral, although, occasionally, polyhalite (K2 Ca2 Mg(SO4 )4 .2H2O) is found associated with rock salt deposits.
The origin of rock salt comes from the bed sea that evaporated million years ago.
It left behind crystallized deposits of this pure,therapeutic salt form which contains all the elements found in our human body.
Rock salt is possibly the purest form of salt, which is free from environmental pollutants, chemical components and does not require a refining process.
It contains pure minerals such as Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Potassium, Magnesium, Copper and all the other 84 minerals. Its benefits are best experienced when used in its natural state.
Rock salt is used externally and internally and is easily absorbed as its composition of minerals is similar to what we contain in our bodies.
