Known as the “Queen of Salts,” Soma Salt is a slightly sweet, tasty salt that holds a very special place in ayurvedic texts. The Charak Samhita describes it as superior with the benefits of pacifying all three doshas, increasing digestive fire to support all seven tissues, supporting reproductive tissue, longevity of the eyes that stems from liver cooling. It also does not create a digestive imbalance from excessive heat and does not have the same retention of other salts. Soma Salt is a great substitute for seasoning, cooking, and baking.
In Ayurveda, Soma Salthas long been calledhṛdya—a term meaning “supportive of the heart.” Where common table salt is considered sharp, heating, and aggravating when used in excess, Soma Salt is described as cooling, soothing, and easier for the body to process. The Ayurvedic principle of moderation is key: salt is essential in small amounts, but when overused it can burden the body. Choosing a gentler salt like Soma Salt, and using it mindfully, allows for flavor and balance without the same harsh impact.
Modern nutrition helps explain why this distinction matters. Table salt is nearly pure sodium chloride, heavily refined and stripped of naturally occurring minerals. Too much sodium can lead to fluid retention and stiffening of blood vessels, which puts added pressure on the heart. Soma Salt, on the other hand, still contains mostly sodium chloride but also carries trace minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. These minerals help soften sodium’s effects: potassium encourages vessel relaxation, magnesium supports smooth circulation, and calcium helps maintain healthy vascular tone. The result is a salt that is not only flavorful but also more balanced in its influence on the cardiovascular system.
When Ayurveda calls Soma Salt heart-friendly, it is this gentler balance that is being described. In practical terms, that means it can be a more supportive choice than refined table salt for those looking to care for their blood pressure and heart health as long as we remember to always keep in mind the wisdom of moderation.
