Time and again, customers look at me in disbelief when I tell them that they are welcome to use salt as a seasoning. "I thought salt was unhealthy?" is then the objection.

The main reason why salt is said to be unhealthy is because it has a negative impact on our blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are therefore often prescribed a low-salt diet. However, this can no longer be scientifically proven.

It all depends on the quality of the salt

The meta-analysis by Danish Cochrane experts shows that a low-salt diet only minimally reduces blood pressure, but statistically significantly increases the stress hormones renin, aldosterone, adrenaline and noradrenaline.

The meta-analysis published in the journal "Heart" in 2012 also found that the risk of sudden cardiac death was increased by 72 percent and that of death from heart failure by 123 percent when salt was reduced. Patients with reduced salt consumption had to be hospitalized 110 percent more often than people with normal salt intake.

So it seems that the formerly evil salt is no longer so evil... My recommendation is: just pay attention to the quality of the salt! It should not be highly purified, chemically treated salt with anti-caking agents, anti-caking agents or aluminum, but natural.

Life is not possible without salt. On the other hand, today's salt consumption is considered harmful to health. This is because our so-called table salt has little to do with the original salt found in salt crystals. Commercial table salt is based on "chemically purified" sodium chloride.

Other essential minerals and trace elements are removed in the process, even though the addition of iodine and fluorine is very common nowadays. Natural crystal salt is much more than just sodium chloride, it consists of not just two, but all natural elements. It is precisely these natural elements that make up our bodies. This is why many people suffer from salt deficiency, even though they are oversaturated with sodium chloride.

The healing effect of a brine drinking cure

The mixture of water and salt is known as brine. Brine means something like "liquid sunlight". When water and salt are combined, the positive ions of the salt surround themselves with the negative ions of the water molecules and the negative ions of the salt with the positively polarized parts of the water molecules. The ions are hydrated. This changes the geometric structure of the water and the salt. The quality of the salt from which the brine is made is important.

Take a small teaspoon of brine mixed with a glass of natural spring water every morning on an empty stomach. It is not so much the quantity that matters, but the regularity of intake. This stimulates gastrointestinal activity, which in turn stimulates the metabolism and digestion. The electrolyte balance is built up and the conductivity in the body is improved, which has a positive effect on the circulation. With salt, the "electricity" can flow again.

Brine also has a positive effect on other areas of our body:

• Our acid-base balance is improved influences
• Heavy metals in the body can be flushed out
• If taken regularly, it helps with liver and gallbladder problems
• It is used to treat skin diseases, for example it can relieve itching in neurodermatitis
• It can have a positive effect on women's complaints
• It can support the development of neutral oral flora

Prepare a brine drinking cure: Here's how!

Preparation of the crystal brine

Place one or more salt crystals in a small sealable glass container. Make sure that the salt crystals are pure and natural (untreated, not "table salt"). Salt crystals can be bought in health food stores or organic stores, for example. Fill the jar with good spring water until the crystals are covered. After about an hour, they will have dissolved enough to form a 26% saturated and ready-to-use crystalline brine solution.

Instructions for the brine drinking cure

Remove a teaspoon of brine from the jar in which you prepared the brine. Pour this into a drinking glass and fill it up with spring water.
The diluted brine solution is best drunk every morning after getting up on an empty stomach. However, it can also be used throughout the day. Add a teaspoon of brine to a liter of water and drink it throughout the day.
Try it out, vitalize your body with an efficient and inexpensive brine cure.
