Salt can be a problem for people with high blood pressure (or hypertension).  My husband has borderline high-blood pressure and has been advised by his doctor to NOT use salt. As for me, since I was a little girl, my family never used salt - I'm not sure why, but they never used ANY spices at all (that's a whole other story). So, we both normally don't add any extra salt to our food at the kitchen table. We DO add some to certain foods when we are preparing them - like bread and chicken soup.

So now, I just found out about  Himalayan crystal salt. It is supposed to be healthier for you than normal refined table salt.   People involved in natural health products say that  it has many trace minerals and elements that your body needs and is very easily assimilated.  Oh yeah, and it's PINK (due to containing iron and other minerals)!

What is Homeopathy - A Simple Explanation

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that stimulates the body and mind to heal itself. It is legal in the United States and remedies are controlled by the FDA.

Homeopathic Remedies are made from plants, minerals and animal substances. Remedies are tested by a series of provings - the effects and symptoms of the substances on healthy and sick people are recorded and added to the Remedy’s symptom list. Homeopathy then matches the persons symptoms with the remedy’s symptoms list and chooses a remedy with the closest match possible.

These symptom lists are compiled into 2 different books or sections of a book - a "Materia Medica" which is in order by remedy with each symptom listed, and a "Repertory" which is in order by symptom with all remedies listed.
