THE MYTH
We have been led to believe that refined sodium chloride is a safe, edible salt for animal consumption. It is only so in minute quantitlies. Whether in the form of blue animal salt blocks or red animal mineral blocks, large quantities of refined sodium chloride are hazardous to the health of animals. Research literature and medical experience have strongly cautioned against the use of such salt. Some have been hightly critical of the use of salt in mammals. These conclusions have been based on refined sodium chloride-not natural, unrefined sea salt. Celtic Sea Salt is natural salt in very sense of the word.
ISN'T SODIUM DETRIMENTAL?
"Sodium is the predominant cation of tissues, body fluids and blood plasma. Sodium is essential for digestive function, metabolism, nerve and muscular functions. However, the sodium in landlocked or refined salts hardens and has an altered molecular structure. This sodium will stubbornly remain in the body long after it has done its job, causingt joints to swell (edema) and kidny problems. Unrefined Celtic salt has the opposit effect: its sodium drains out rapidly, keeping the kidneys at peak function, as well as promoting flexibility in the articulations." Seal Salt's Hidden Powers
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CELTIC SEA SALT?
Mammals are salt-based creatures. blood, sweat, and tears are all salty. Horses need and crave salt; unrefined, natural sea salt is indeed healthy and vital to their well being. Your horse will drink more water and eliminate more toxins throught urination. Celtic Sea Salt, natures electrolyte, enhances digestion and stablilzing bodily functions and fluids.
DON'T HORSES GET MINERALS FROM FOOD?
Food grown in soil depleted of the necessary building-blocks do not contain the minerals required for a healthy diet. Natural, unrefined sea salt affects how the body utilizes minerals while increasing the effectiveness of digestion, absorption and the assimilation of nutriets. In most cases, mineral supplementation becomes unnecessry if unrefined sea salt is included in the diet at time of feeding. Since horses are vegetarians, natural sea salt enriches saliva so the stomach is better able to produce the proper digestive enzymes required to break down the complex carbohydrates, celluloid and chlorophyll from vegetation. Celtic Sea Salt, nature's electrolyte becomes indispensable by creating hydrochloric acid in the digestive tract.
HYDROCHLORIC ACID
Hydrochloric acid is the product of the hydrolysation of chlorine,which aids digestion. The chlorine orginates from the essentially balanced solium cholride found in Celtic Sea Salt. When using the mineral balanced Celtic Sea Salt, the horse is capable of extracting up to seven times the nutritional value from its food. The salt increases the foods' potency and enhances the positive effects of nutrients, enriches saliva and creates needed hydrochloric acid for digestion.
RECOMMENDED USES FROM THE OUTSIDE-IN TO THE INSIDE-OUT
Horses require the minerals contained in unrefined salt. As a preventative measure, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of Celtic Sea Salt to their daily diet or free choice. External application of Celtic Sea Salt solution does wonders for a multitude of leg, hoof and muscle ailments. Keep your horse's coat shining with a daily rub down using a rinse. Natural and non-irritation, you horse will love Celtic Sea Salt.
HOW YOUR HORSE'S BODY WORKS
Blood is essential for life. In fact, without nutrient rich blood, bodies will weaken and become ill. Inmagine the body as the blood plasma's supermarket. In search for nutrients, the body will first go shopping the the nutrient rich organs-the spleen and liver. If the blood is unsuccessful in finding the required nutrients, it will proceed to shop the soft tissues and if necessary, it will move on to the hard tissues (ligaments, muscles, etc.) Lastly, it will shop for nutrients in the bones. As the blood extracts nutrients from each of these areas, they become weaker, causing muscle, ligament and bone ailments. Lack of proper nutrients can be a major cause of lameness in horse. Give your horse a better chance by providing nature's nutrients in Celtic Sea Salt.
HOW WOULD SALT FREE DIET BE HARMFUL TO HORSES?
Eliminating salt from a diet is probably more harmful than using refined sodium chloride. There is a general rule of osmosis when it comes to internal body fluids. Water goes wherever salt goes. This is evident in swollen joints and sore muscles and is particularty common in animals that sweat profusely such as sport and racehorses.
Without replenishing the body's properly balanced salt reserves, that vital balance of salt and water, that keeps the body functioning normally, is thrown off. The body will begin to secrete water more quickly in order to raise the level of sodium concentration in the bloodstream. Signs of too little salt in the diet may take the form of profuse sweating; a decrease in appetite; extreme fatigue followed by muscles that become sore, stiff and begin to tie up. In extreme cases, insomnia and convulsions may occur.
Without proper salt, cells have little energy and cannot regenerate. As a body sweats, it loses electrolytes, salts and fluids. Properly balanced Celtic Sea Salt, nature's electrolyte, replenishes the lost electrolyte and salts naturally.
Conversely, too much refined sodium chloride can cause water retention. Since the body recognizes the refined salt as poison, it retains water in order to dilute the poison to a manageaable level. Again, proper Celtic Sea Salt will assist your horse in flushing out excess wastes and reduce water retention.
