41 rock salt recipes

Rock salt is less processed and hence it may contain some nutrients like potassium, zinc, magnesium etc. In Ayurveda it  is used as a laxative and digestive aid. Some studies have also shown that it does not increase blood pressure, unlike common marine salt. Gargling with rock salt water is also a common remedy for sore throat. However, rock salt may be devoid of iodine, which is found in table salt. Iodine is a key nutrient required for thyroid function and metabolism. Also we do recommend consuming rock salt in limited quantities to avoid any health complications. Further more studies are necessary to prove its health benefits.
