Food as Medicine

There's a hydration hack that's gaining popularity and it's utilising Celtic Sea Salt, a Mineral Rich, Magnesium abundant Superfood. Staying hydrated throughout the day can be challenging, even if you keep a water bottle on hand. By allowing a few crystals of Celtic sea salt to dissolve on your tongue before drinking water, you can improve water absorption in your body due to the magnesium content.

Celtic Sea Salt is Superfood and we've been supplying it at Ancient Purity since we began. I learned about it in an old book my grandmother had I think called Salt & Your Health, sorry I can't remember the author but it was the first step in learning that Salt could actually be good for you, vital for you. I've been using it myself since and when we started in 2011 it was one of the first products I bought in. The sea minerals and clay found in salt flats give natural Celtic Sea Salt its light grey colour. This salt is particularly beneficial because the clay ionises the minerals present in it. It has a unique flavour that is highly regarded in the culinary world, making it the preferred option for many. Even when stored in a cool place for an extended period, the salt remains moist to the touch. Light grey Celtic sea salt is dried naturally using only the sun and wind, and it does not undergo any processing or refinement. This makes it the ideal coarse salt for cooking purposes.

Mangosteen, also known as the Queen of Fruits, is a small, tropical fruit that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its numerous health benefits. The fruit is native to Southeast Asia and is famous for its sweet and tangy taste, as well as its remarkable antioxidant properties. I personally love it, I had no idea what it was back in 2003 when I went to Thailand and discovered these incredible fruits, for me it was Jackfruit, Mangosteen and Rambutan. They were my new Superfruits, but it's taken time to really understand these fruits and their true power.

Ah I couldn't wait to write about this and took some time out today. The Davidson Plum is a fruit native to Australia that grows in the subtropical rainforests of Queensland and New South Wales. This unique fruit is highly treasured by the indigenous people of Australia for its medicinal properties and nutrient-rich content.

Cayenne Pepper drew my attention after having read an eye-opening book my mum had given me, "Left for Dead" by Dick Quinn. I advise reading it. Also known as the Guinea spice, aleva, cow-horn pepper, and bird pepper, Cayenne Pepper is believed having originated in Cayenne, French Guiana. This brightly-red coloured potent herb has been respected for its healing qualities since ancient times. It is rightfully nicknamed the "King of Herbs" and is considered to be more potent than any other herb.
