5.    Crystal Salt The balanced crystalline structure reveals fine branching, no shadows or rough edges.  The crystal is not isolated from the inherent mineral elements (84) but is connected to them in a harmonious state.  This tells us that the energy content, in the form of minerals, is balanced and can be easily metabolized by the body.  This crystal is full of life.  When taken as food, it will have a vital energetic effect on the body. The result is only a net gain for the body with zero energy loss.

According to Ayurveda, Sendha namak is the best for eating. The next best is Kala namak.
