During Navratri, people keep fasts and worship Goddess Durga and her nine incarnations. A satvik diet is followed, in which people avoid onion, garlic, eggs, and meat. The regular table salt is also replaced with sendha namak or Himalayan crystal salt. Here is why:
While normal salt is derived from seawater, sendha namak is derived from the Himalayan mountains and is considered pure and free from any toxins.
Table salt is often processed and iodised, which makes it harder to digest. While sendha namak is pure and unprocessed.
Sendha namak is considered lighter and easier to digest than regular white salt. It is also known to help detoxify the body.
Sendha namak keeps the body cool during fasting and can replenish electrolytes. It has a low sodium content and high potassium, which provides energy. This also helps in managing blood pressure levels.
Sendha namak has an exfoliating effect on the skin and improves hair. Using it in hair masks can help in cleansing the scalp.
Sendha namak is also rich in magnesium, zinc, and iodine, which helps strengthen the immune system. It also boosts metabolism and supports weight loss.
