Navratri 2023: Discover the medical benefits of using sendha namak (rock salt) during fasting

Navratri, a vibrant and culturally significant Hindu festival, is celebrated over nine nights in honor of Goddess Durga, the divine mother and the embodiment of power and grace. During this festival, people across India and around the world come together to worship the various forms of Goddess Durga.

Many people turn to rock salt, commonly known as sendha namak, during fasting. However, it also offers various health benefits, such as regulating blood pressure and aiding with diabetes.

Maintains sodium levels

Balancing sodium levels is crucial; even a small amount of rock salt with meals can help achieve this equilibrium.

Provides essential electrolytes

Fasting can lead to electrolyte imbalances, resulting in cramps and weakness. Sendha namak contains essential electrolytes, potentially alleviating such issues.

Aids digestion

According to Ayurveda, sendha namak can assist in digestive problems like bloating, indigestion, and gastric issues often associated with fasting.

Soothes sore throat

Gargling with rock salt can relieve throat pain and soreness, as supported by studies and recommended by organizations like the American Cancer Society.
