Dear Subscriber,
In ancient times, the kitchen was the domain of women. It was considered a sacred and magical place, where the alchemy of women changed the character and form of raw ingredients to fulfill their purpose as nourishment.
I was reminded of the traditional sacredness of food when I received this note from one of my customers:
Hello Hilde:
Your service is great. But about the salt. This is my second order. I have been taking the salt for the past few months...incredible. I cannot do without it. My body, spirit and mind function far more effectively. I find, that if for some reason I miss taking it for a spell, the balance shifts.
I spent some time in Kashmir (just before the war), and had a wonderful experience with the salt.
The women of the house I was connected to (I lived on one of the boats nearby) came to me one evening, saying that they had a special secret they wanted to share. They took me into their kitchen, which was considered to be sacred ground. It was an old house with earthen floors, and the whole kitchen, including the oven, was all built of mud.
They very reverently took me through to what was obviously a secret, special place, and into what I can only describe as a "cave" hollowed out in the mud. I saw what seemed to be a very large rock, covered in hessian sacks. They very slowly removed the sacks, all the time expressing obvious veneration and revealed a HUGE pink crystal. "This is salt" they said in broken English. "You must have this... always. It is the elixir of life. Find it when you go back to your world."
It wasn't until recently, as I was idly searching the internet for something to assist me, that I very quickly found you. Really something else. Thank you.

Though in today's industrial world, highly refined salt has correctly been identified as being detrimental to our health, in ancient times, unrefined living salt was known to be essential to life. So valuable was salt that Roman soldiers were given a salarium--a "salt allowance"--as part of their pay. This is the origin of the word salary, which now applies to all of our wages for work.
Himalayan Crystal Salt is that same unrefined living salt that has been so valued through the ages. When our planet Earth was a pristine ecosystem, a primordial sea was evaporated by the sun, leaving absolutely pure crystalline salt that contains the 84 minerals and trace elements essential to health. When the Himalayan mountain range was formed, the degree of compression was so extreme that it created perfectly structured crystal grids within the salt. Because Himalayan Crystal Salt is hand-mined, hand-selected, hand-crushed, hand-washed, and sun dried, it retains its bio-energetic qualities...just as it was in the primordial sea 250 million years ago.
Try some today. The Fine Granulated Salt is the perfect size for use in a common saltshaker. It has all the natural characteristics of the original crystals and including the distinctive "alive" taste. It can be used at the table and in cooking and baking. Or if you prefer, order the Coarse Granulated Salt for use in a salt mill.
My mission is to bring you the best salt available so your body can be in the best of health. In future issues, I'll continue to give you more information and the latest research on the health benefits of salt and water, as well as offering you newsletter-only specials. Please feel free to pass this newsletter on to your friends and family.
Thank you for your orders!
