Black salt
Benefits of Black Salt (Kala Namak)
Aids digestion – Helps reduce bloating, gas, and acidity; often used in chaat and digestive drinks.
Lower sodium than regular salt – Slightly less sodium chloride, so it’s sometimes preferred in moderation.
May help with heartburn – Traditional use for easing acid reflux.
Rich in trace minerals – Contains small amounts of potassium, iron, and magnesium.
Helps relieve constipation – Mild laxative effect when used carefully.
Good for appetite – Can stimulate digestive enzymes.
Cooling effect – Considered “cooling” in Ayurveda, helpful in hot weather.
A quick caution ⚠️
Still salt → too much can raise blood pressure.
Strong sulfur smell/taste isn’t for everyone.
Best used in moderation, not as a cure.
