Holly, Salts (Was RE: Introduction and Information reque...

[Guest guest]

Hi Chris and all,

 

Wow, did I learn a lot by this question Chris. Thanks so much for asking it.

I didn't know there were so many kinds of sea salts!

 

In answer to your question, I use basic, fine grained sea salt which I order

from the local food-co op. I love the way it looks and feels, and the ease

with which the EO's mix in. It's very cost effective, also a consideration for

me

right now. Since I am infusing the salts with energies of my own, often

specifically for one person, one of my considerations is how well will the

medium

I'm using hold new energies... sort of like dropping a stone into a quiet calm

pond, vrs dropping that same stone into a raging ocean. The pond will hold and

reflect the energies of the stone much better than the ocean, whose energies

would make the stone's addition feel quite insignificant in comparison.

 

Regarding the other salts you mentioned, from the energetic perspective, I

would expect the varieties of salts to exhibit differences from two

perspectives: one being their chemical compositions (even if subtle) and two

being where

they were formed, their place of birth, so to speak.

 

Additional energetic considerations are based upon the energy field of each

individual using or " feeling " the salts... we sort of take in the energies

which resonate with our own energy field, and as highly sophisticated energetic

instruments, that won't be exactly the same for everyone, and of course that can

change over time as our energy fields change.

 

Chris, I'm curious to know whether you experience identifiable differences in

the energies of the salts, and what that experience is like for you?

 

Also, I would be very interested in knowing where to look for wholesale

quantities of the variety of salts you identified, if that's something you feel

comfortable in sharing. I am just now beginning to expand my resource list of

suppliers, and in my search for good suppliers of wholesale salts, haven't

discovered any with such a variety of offerings.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful day,

 

Holly.

There are many more even. I really found out about all the kinds of sea

salts from being a cook, rather than from being a bath maker, but they

work well for both *lol*

Yep, that is always a consideration. Usually I end up dong a blend of

salts, because in a lot of cases making baths with all specialty salt

will be quite expensive. Some stuff I use all one kind of salt though.

As the expression says - " peeing in the ocean to make the tide rise "

Different mediums certainly have their special nuances and applications.

Yes, from an esoteric point of reference, the origin of the salt makes

the biggest difference. From a culinary point, there are subtle taste

differences. And as you mentioned, the different salts have different

chemical make-ups and additives (like the traditional red salt from

Hawaii have the baked 'Alea clay in it, while the Gray salts from France

have the gray clay in it from those salt beds, etc ...) As far as

salts for bath go, many of the unrefined salts are high in mineral

content and do a similarly good job, since the differences are just

" trace " . But I do like to use the gray salts as base for certain baths,

and the pink salts for others, etc .... especially since I don't use

synthetic coloring agents. Rose bath is better pink than gray *lol*

A good analogy to that which folks can easily perceive is like how

everyone's personal chemical make-up will subtly change the scent of the

same perfume on their skin.

I find the most identifiable differences to be (as I mentioned before

briefly) on the esoteric level, and the culinary level. For example, if

one is paying homage to Pele, Hawaii's volcano Goddess, the 'Alea salt

is much more in step with that undertaking than some other salts. And I

certainly can taste the subtle difference between many of the salts in

cooking. The again, I can tell if a cutlet was cooked in any oil other

than olive ;-p I'm odd like that *lol*

I'll plug myself here I carry a variety of salts, and am looking to

expand the line in 2004. Between all my salts, I usually have several

hundred pounds on hand at any given time. My husband just laughs at me.

I have a customer/colleague who calls me the " Salt Goddess " cause I

always have salt ::grinz::

 

I am waiting for my new shipment of gray salts though. It appears the

price has gone up some *sigh* But as long as I have the current supply

on hand I will not raise my price!

Have a great weekend!
