Health Benefits of black salt (sanchal, kala namak)
Black salt is considered as a cooling spice in Ayurveda and it also boosts bile production in the liver which helps to control heartburn. It is also known for comforting intestinal gas trouble. Since the sodium level in black salt is less as compared to table salt, it may be prescribed to regulate high blood pressure. The potassium in it can soothe muscle cramps. However, since black salt is a poor source of iodine, it is not recommended for daily use and in high doses. Further the fluoride in it can cause dental fluorosis. Very high doses of black salt may also cause diarrhoea. So it is recommended to have not more than 6 grams per day. Those with high blood pressure are advised to consume it only under doctor's supervision.
