Customer Rating: Summary: The Bursting Flavor and Healing Power of Blessedly Beautiful, Simple Salt Crystals Comment: These coarse crystals have the minerals intact, which is vital to the salt benefit and function.
I don't know when or why purveyors of salt began removing the natural mineral content, but that action involved a frightening ignorance.
For certain types of specific health issues (see below), the minerals in the sea salt crystals seem to work better for me in their crystalline (or coarse) form, than when I grind the salt, as I do for cooking or table usage salt.
As others have noted, mineral-rich, coarse-sea-salt freshly grinded onto food is much crisper in its culinary effect, more satisfying to the taste buds, than pre-granulated, plain table salt (which has the minerals removed, minerals found naturally in sea salt and which enhance both health benefits and flavor bursts).
Also, old style, granulated table salt has an added disadvantage from the fairly recent addition of a variety of anti-caking chemicals, some of which contain aluminum (silicoaluminate)... which I'm concerned may be a brain cell deteriorative, possibly at baseline cause for Alzheimer's.
If I take a pinch of salt crystals (coarse sea salt contains crystals) 2 or sometimes 4 times per day, and place them in my mouth, moving them around to dissolve the salt in saliva on my teeth and gums, I find that both teeth and gums retain a much higher degree of health. I had begun having minor tooth aches periodically, and this practice has alleviated that.
As noted above, I'm 60-years-old; and with a debilitating liver ailment since I was 9, I find that when I have an attack of severe abdominal and back muscle cramps (which I get fairly frequently), a pinch of sea salt crystals in my mouth will stop those cramps. In fact, when I take small amounts of sea salt crystals regularly enough, I don't get those cramps at all. The cause and effect is immediate and direct, so I know this works for me. From my experience, plain table salt, or even sea salt without the mineral content will not give this beneficial effect. (I'm guessing it's the magnesium content which works here, though, it might be the wholeness of the natural balance of the particular mineral group within unadulterated salt).
Of course, I also drink one, preferably two glasses of water along with the salt crystals, ingesting the water before, after, or both.
I learned about the many benefits of sea salt crystals (with the natural mineral content not having been leached away in well meaning ignorance) from Dr. Batmanghelidj's book Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure. I recommend that book very highly and hope to be able to review it also.
Dr Batman's books explain how, when, why, and how much water the body needs for optimum health, and sea salt crystals are a vital part of that program.
Note that in this book he explains also how, when, and why a person can take too much salt and water. I suppose I'm "lucky" that I have a barometer for sea salt crystal needs. When I'm not taking enough the cramps return. During hot weather (or under other dehydrating conditions) when the body loses more salt and water, I have to increase the intake of both.
As far as I recall, Dr. Batman hadn't mentioned the connection of sea salt to alleviate regular large muscle cramping. That I discovered this on my own after I had been taking the sea salt regularly, due to reading Dr. Batman's book.
Bless this man for standing up to so many medical fallacies which are literally creating diseases, then causing addiction to high cost medications which do NOT cure the ailment, but add several other ailments into a complex medical condition which piles prescriptions on top of prescriptions.
My thanks to Amazon for providing a variety of excellent sea salt products in coarse, crystalline form.
With Respect for the maverick M.D.'s who actually apply and teach true healing,

Author of several books on KINDLE and Amazon Shorts Customer Rating: Summary: I Love Amazon Comment: Great product but Amazon needs to ship it sealed and by itself.I ordered the coarse sea salt twice and both time something has happened to the shipment.First time one of the bags where broken and was leaking out of the box and the UPS driver said when he delivered whatever is in that box is now all over my truck and left a path from the truck to my door.So I ordered it a second time and was shipped with cleaning products and it leaked all over the whole shipment and this time I ask Amazon to replace it Amazon gladly replaced it and shipped replacement over night. Customer Rating: Summary: I liked it BUT !!!!!! Comment: I think this salt is very good----------but the packaging and shipping is a constant problem.
The first shipment came in a box with a tin of peanuts....the tin had rolled around tearing the bags...and my salt was all over the place..However when I called AMAZON---they immediately sent me new bags.Problem was they were received damaged as well !! I didn't call this time,,,because I now realize that the problem was on the manufactures end--- NOT AMAZONS...so I am sure INDIA TREE will attempt to solve the issue next time they order new bags. Customer Rating: Summary: Broken bags, 5 of 6! Comment: In my first shipment, two of three bags were completely broken and therefore the salt was rattling around in the box. This left me with one bag. When I contacted customer service they sent me another three. This time all three had dime size holes in the top of them. Some was still in the bag, but would you want to eat something that did not come sealed? Customer service was great again, refunding my money so I can buy another brand of salt. Packaging needs to be reassessed if they are going to continue to ship this item. Customer Rating: Summary: I love coarse salt Comment: I have two ceramic grinders, one for the usual pepper, the other for coarse salt. I am never happy these days with regular salt and pepper shakers. Once you grind coarse salt you are hooked. This salt is good.
