In producing bamboo salt (strong alkali food product - pH 11~13), salt is minced into the bamboo, which is sealed with red clay, inserted into an iron pot, baked in pine firewood for 9 consecutive times. In this process, toxic impurities found in the salt are removed, achieving the benefits of pure salt. It also compounds the sulfur of bamboo, resin of pine, and soil molecules of red clay with steel to help prevent inflammation and cleanse blood. Sea Salt - Domestic sea salt, the source of minerals most similar to that of human fluids, is used for balanced mineral intake.   Bamboo - Firstly, the bamboo has been highly useful as medicine since the past. When the bamboo is heated, the medical substance (sulfur) flows down in the form of resin, or bamboo extracts, which is effective against strokes and in treating thirst, the early symptom of diabetes.   Pine - Resin extracted from pine, also known as the prince of vegetation, strengthens the muscles and the blood, cures boils and inflammations, eliminates extravasated blood, controls the blood pressure and blood sugar, and also purifies the blood.   Red Clay - When producing bamboo salt, salt is placed into the bamboo vessel, and the red clay is kneaded to seal the entrance. This red clay is an ingredient of invigoration, which is good for the spleen and the stomach and invigorates the lungs. Iron is an ingredient that forms the human bones and tendons, which gives it the property of platinum gold.   Fire - High-heat temperature also forms the foundation of all health-seeking. The principle where fire is advantageous over soil makes fire the best medicine for the spleen and the stomach. As such, bamboo salt possesses all 5 energies of the universe, making it a suitable medication for people of any physical constitution. Boil and drink bamboo salt tea. Dissolve one half teaspoon of bamboo salt in a cup of water and drink it like tea.   Dissolve 1/3 teaspoon of bamboo salt with saliva, hold it in the mouth for a long duration of time, and then slowly swallow it.   Put one teaspoon of bamboo salt in the mouth and drink cold water.   Frequently ingest bamboo salt in the diet.     People without any particular diseases Frequently ingest 450gram/month (15g/day) to prevent various diseases and to strengthen the physical constitution.   People who have diseases or are feeble Increase the amount to 1kg/month (above 30g/day), but self-control the quantity according to the body condition. Do not seize to ingest at any time. It is important to be constant.   People with abnormalities in the kidney or bladder Too much ingestion may result in temporary body swelling, but frequent ingestion in small pea-like amounts 1~3 times a day will eliminate any side effects.   Hypertensive and diabetes patients Do not consume large quantities at first. Start with small amount and start increasing the amount while checking the body condition   Esophageal, brain and gastric cancer patients Try to consume more than 50 grams per day to inhibit cancer cell metastasis and prevent the disease from progressing.     Bamboo salt provides strong antidote, anti-inflammatory, blood cleansing, metabolism-promoting (waste removal), antibiotic, cell growth promoting (recovery of damaged cells), condition improvement (neutralization of body fluid), antibacterial, hematopoeitic (balance in blood pressure and body weight) and WBC promoting effects.     The composition and the effects of bamboo salt is yet to be discussed because of impartial understanding of the product itself. However, Korean Technology Institute and Japan Food Analysis Institue states that bamboo salt contains much more mineral than sea salt but has less contents of toxic agents such as lead and arsenic contents within. In sea salt, various minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, magnanese, sulfur and phosphoros is contained within. When sea salt is made into a bamboo salt, the contents of these minerals change dramatically. The contents of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, iron, maganese, phosphoros, silicon, sulfure and zinc is increased dramatically. Especially, the contents of zinc is increased dramatically. Bamboo salt can be recognized as a multi-mineral pill that can be consumed everyday. When the body lacks mineral, people can suffer from depression, rickets, anemia, growth retardation, sexual dysfunction, muscular dystrophy, skin disease, bone growth retardation and immunosuppression.
