Ka Ru Cha is a Himalayan black salt which sports an impressive mineral density. In particular, it contains a gaseous compound known as hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Hydrogen sulfide, while in excess is a poisonous gas, is also a known gasotransmitter (gaseous signaling molecule) made by the kidneys. The ability for the kidneys to produce this gas declines with age. Interestingly, this gas is known to interact with a gene known as the Klotho gene, which is associated with longevity. This directly parallels the concept of Kidney Qi (or Kidney gas) known to Chinese medicine for thousands of years. The minerals found in this salt are known to improve relaxation, promote circulation (which helps with pain, and may help with swelling (via the lymphatic system). Sea salt soaking has also been used in the treatment of skin conditions such as Psoriasis.
