What is Bamboo Salt?

Bamboo Salt has been used for the prevention and treatment of various diseases in Korea. More recently, Bamboo salt has been rediscovered for as a revolutionary health supplement. Bamboo Salt consists of essential minerals and micronutrient necessary for maintaining the human body. What makes Bamboo Salt distinct from regular salt is that Bamboo Salt contains minerals from the bamboo and mud absorbed during its making that has been shown to increase the anticlastogenic and antimutagenic properties.

How is Bamboo Salt made?

Bamboo Salt is a specially processed salt made of natural sea salt from the Western Sea Coast of the Korean Peninsula. Bamboo trunks that are at least 3 years old are filled with seal salt and plugged with yellow soil at both ends. The prepared bamboo trunks are stacked inside a steel furnace and roasted using the pine tree firewood, pine resin, pure yellow soil and high levels of fire handling technology in a steel furnace. As the bamboo trunk itself turns into ash, the minerals of the bamboo and yellow soil are fused with the salt. Finally, the columns are broken down and then this type of heating process is repeated 8 times. On the 9^th time, it is burned at 1600 ℃.

What are some of the benefits?

Studies have proven that bamboo salt has anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Each time the Bamboo Salt is heated, unfavorable properties of bay salt are eliminated while favorable properties are created. In comparison with regular salt, bamboo salt contains lower contents of Mg, Al, B and P but higher contents of K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Li, Ba, Sr and Mo, most of which are known as the essential ‘trace’ elements, which are required to support human biochemical processes by serving structural and functional roles. Also, the pH levels of commercially processed salt are at or below 7.0 where the pH level of Bamboo Salt is up to 8.0, a significant decrease in acidity.
