Product Description

Soma Salt is the preferred salt of the Ancient Ayurvedic texts.

The ancient Charak Samhita, Ayurveda’s central reference text, lists eight edible and beneficial kinds of salt coming from the Himalayas. It names the best among them, Soma Lavan, or Soma Salt.

This cooling variety of salt is said to give numerous benefits in Charak Samhita. Soma Salt is described in Chapter 27, Verse 300 as: rochanam (tasty), deepanam (increasing the digestive fire, which supports all seven tissues), vrishyam (supporting shukra dhatu, or reproductive tissue), chakchushya (supporting the longevity of the eyes by cooling the liver), avidahi cha (not creating a digestive imbalance due to excess heating quality, and not causing retention of toxins as other salts do), tridoshagnam (pacifying all three doshas and having a somewhat sweet taste), lavanottamam (the best of all salts).

Soma Salt is a cooling rock salt, as the name soma suggests. In nature, soma represents the cooling, nurturing elements which are so often missing in modern life. While all salts have a hot (agni) quality, only Soma Salt has the cooling (soma) quality needed to balance it.

Soma Salt is extracted from the mountains of North West India in the historic land of Sindh. In Vaidya Mishra’s Shaka Vansya Ayurvedic lineage, this salt is known as the “Queen of Salts” due to its high mineral content and its unparalleled somagenic qualities.

Tests reveal the following mineral content: Calcium 361 mg per 100 g, Iron 1.1 per 100 g, Magnesium 102 per 100 g, Potassium 1600 mg per 100g, Sodium 16,800 mg per 100g.

The salt has been tested for unwanted minerals, heavy metals, or contaminants.

Love this salt

Posted by Unknown on 31st Oct 2022

For many years I have used the multi-colored Himalayan salt thinking it was the best for me. Then I discovered Soma Salt. It tastes great and is not overwhelming.
New product to me and I love it!

Posted by Nina D on 22nd Oct 2022

I was introduced to this salt for a two-week Ayurveda detox program. The taste is mild enough to drink with warm water and then layers well for cooking. With the soft texture, I have more control over the amount to be used and really love that. I specifically used it for kitchari but will continue to use it going forward.
Salt but not Salty

This salt is very delicate and perfect for my Pitta/Vata constitution. It provides flavor without an overly salty taste...highly recommended.
truly the best salt

Posted by Emma on 25th Dec 2021

i am never unduly thirsty after a meal prepared with this cooling salt,
if i eat out, invariably i am overly thirsty after having mainstream cheaper and more heating salts.
Fabulous salt

Great product to help me lower my blood pressure

Posted by Carmi Alvarez-Smith on 16th Mar 2021

Soma Salt is a great product. I've been using it for several months now in the hopes that it will help me deal with elevated blood pressure. It tastes wonderfully and doesn't take much to season food. My pressure is slowly coming down so am very happy for the results.
