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.

  1. Goodsalt 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 12th Nov 2016

    I have eaten the salt for several years. I don't feel much difference between this or other natural salt product but on the recommendation of others I feel it's good.

  2. less bloating after this 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 15th Sep 2016

    We completely switched to this salt and i feel i dont bloat as much.It has a nice taste and is not overpowering. You may have a tendency to over use it but be careful. Add after completely cooking the meal so you eat less salt.
    they do form lumps in my wooden container, but i dont mind since i add the lumps in gravy/curry.
    it doesnt sprinkle like table salt but thats because this doesnt have additives and its pure.

  8. SOMA SALT WINS OUT! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 3rd Apr 2014

    I used soma salt for a few months and then ran out. So, I decided to use up the remaining sea salt I had on hand from earlier. I could hardly eat the food I salted with it. The sea salt was harsh. It seemed too salty. I have always called Soma Salt "soft salt". It seems to melt into the food. Fortunately, my order has arrived with two envelopes of soma salt so I won't run out.

  9. Very nice salt 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 27th Feb 2014

    Soft and silky are the words that come to mind to describe it! Have been using this salt ever since I came to know about it. Going back to the commercial table salt after using this feels like ingesting a firecracker.......

  10. Best salt anywhere!! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 17th Oct 2013

    This is by far the best salt available anywhere! The flavor is great, and both my husband and I noticed that it never causes any joint swelling like regular salt. I use it in all my cooking as well as on the table. Highly recommend it - I just wish that it was available in larger packages :)
