Black salt is a type of rock salt that is generally known as “Kala namak”. Black salt is considered a cooling spice in Ayurveda and is used as a digestive and a healing agent.
According to Ayurveda, Black salt helps improve digestion by increasing the bile production in the liver due to its Laghu and Ushna properties. Drinking Black salt along with water on an empty stomach in the morning helps to remove toxins from the body and provides relief from constipation due to its laxative property. Black salt is also good for diabetics when taken in balanced quantities as it helps in maintaining sugar level in the body.
Scrubbing Black salt along with coconut oil gently on the body helps prevent infections and relieves inflammation as well as pain. Black salt can also be added to the bathing water to help manage other skin infections such as eczema and rashes.
Excessive intake of Black salt should be avoided as it might cause nausea and vomiting. Consuming Black salt in large amounts may also alter your blood pressure levels.
