Sea salt is available in fine or coarse grain. Sea salt has a slightly different taste than table salt because of different minerals it contains. Many people prefer sea salt to table salt because they claim it has a more subtle flavor.

Then I will ask them to give me the one with the subtle flavor.. I am all for that,

To be a sea salt worthy of your family, it must meet all three of the following criteria:

1) The salt will not be the snow-white variety you're used to. It should be light gray in color. After sitting for a time, the color at the bottom of the container will be darker. If the salt is crystal white, it may be sea salt but it has been treated and fractionated to rid it of impurities and, at the same time, this rids it of essential minerals.  If it is not light gray, it is not a nutritious salt.

2) Legitimate sea salt is not dry to the touch. It should be a little soggy. The moistness is due to the presence of magnesium salts. When kept in cool storage, it doesn't dry out.

3) The crystals, under magnification, are small and cubic.

Finding pure sea salt can be rather difficult. There are plenty of products out there claiming to be "pure" but, unfortunately, they have almost all been tampered with to some degree. I have only been able to find one source that I trust--The Grain and Salt Society in Ashville, North Carolina.  They can be reached at [phone] or on the Internet at www.celticseasalt.com.

It is recommended if your BP is low(sing of adrenal fatigue) to take 1/2 tsp of sea salt, pure and unrefined, in a glass of water every morning. It has the opposite effect that most people think. It will help eliminate edema, if you have the low BP.

Thx! Have been trying to find better sea salt and hey ho---they have a UK sales arm.  

Peggy - what are some of the other classic signs of adrenal fatigue besides low BP?

Another clean sign of adrenal fatigue is the pupil test.

Google adrenal fatigue and eye test - you should find the how to do there.

[margypops]

Thank you for that I will check that site out for the pupil test this morning.
