Apart from a large quantity of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chloride and so on, the body also contains dozens of trace elements such as iron, copper, selenium, zinc, chromium, nickel, iodine, molybdenum... If the body lacks some trace elements, there will be retarded growth, compromised immunity, weak resistance, poor mental state, weakened body functions and abnormal metabolism. In fact, all glands in the body will not be working properly.

Originally, we can absorb various trace elements from animal and plant food, sea salt, water and air. However, the amount of trace elements in soil is gradually depleted because of long-term use of chemical fertilizers which contain mainly nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. As such, it is getting more and more difficult for us to get adequate trace elements from animal and plant sources. The trace elements in sea salt and natural water sources are highly suitable for human consumption, but because of water and sea pollution, they now represent a direct form of health hazard to us.

During the manufacturing process, Sambou Bamboo Salt from Korea absorbs the trace elements in sea salt, bamboo and mineral soil to provide as many as 80 kinds of trace elements. We can drink Bamboo salt water long-term to eliminate health problems associated with trace element inadequacy, which might jeopardise life.

(NB. About 30% of diseases is caused by trace element inadequacy)

The human immune system can normally withstand a lot of insults, some of which are exogenous (external), e.g. UV light, radiation, negative ions etc., while others are endogenous, e.g. stress, fatigue, negative emotions, inadequate sleep, improper diet, smoking, drinking, drugs etc. All these insults can trigger autoimmune disorders, making the immune system attack own tissues and organs, causing damages and symptoms.

There are various types of autoimmune disorders, including SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, Type I diabetes, iritis and so on...

Looking at autoimmune disorders from a different perspective, it is proposed that these disorders arise as a result of dehydration, an acidic constitution, too much accumulated toxins, free radicals etc. A powerful anti-oxidant that enhances body alkalinity, Bamboo Salt water is the nemesis of these disorders, with the power to accelerate recovery of the deranged immune system.

Though the medical professional is still unable to find the real causes of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Luis's dementia and senile dementia, there are more and more studies to point the finger to free radicals (reactive oxygen species).

The brain is only 2% of the total body weight, but it consumes 20% of oxygen in the body, a process that generates free radicals that are damaging to nerve cells. For instance, it has been discovered that in the dense part of the brain of Parkinsonian patients, a large number of neurons die, and some even lose up to 70% of neurons.

The blood brain barrier (BBB) denies access to a lot of drugs effective against cognitive problems into the brain. The brain is immersed in spinal fluid that is very similar to physiological saline (0.9% Nacl). Besides support and nutrient provision, the spinal fluid also removes metabolic waste from the brain, maintains acid/base balance and detoxifies the environment. Consuming large quantity of Bamboo Salt water can curb free radical damages to the nervous system and prevent nerve cell degeneration.

There are various causes of food poisoning, including bacteria (e.g. E. coli), chemicals (e.g. pesticides), fauna and flora (e.g. cassava and lentils) and fungi (e.g. mushrooms).

The primary symptoms are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea, often accompanied by fever. Dehydration, acidosis or even shock and coma may arise.

For food poisoning cases without marked vomiting, the root of the tongue can be stimulated with fingers or chopsticks to induce vomiting. Alternatively, the patients can drink copious quantity of Bamboo Salt water (1 tablespoon (4g) of the salt in 300ml of water, 3 – 4 glasses consecutively) to induce vomiting repeatedly. This method is also applicable to longer food poisoning cases (for instance, more than 2 hours). If induction of vomiting is ineffective, the other way would be induced diarrhoea to expel toxic food from the body. After the bouts, continue drinking diluted Bamboo Salt water (1 tablespoon (4g) of the salt in 1 litre of water) to help the liver and kidney expel toxins as well as to prevent dehydration, acidosis, shock or coma as a result of severe vomiting or diarrhoea.

Diabetes, hypertension, chronic nephritis, toxins, autoimmune disorders (e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE), hereditary disorders (e.g. polycystic kidney) are main compromisers of kidney functions. Among them, diabetes alone contributes to 40% -50% of kidney failure.

High blood glucose can denature plasma proteins, making the blood more viscous and eventually affecting glomerular filtration. When glomeruli are stuck with denatured proteins, they will lose their filtration function gradually, giving rise to kidney failure.

Bamboo Salt water can neutralize blood glucose (also known as blood acid) to prevent blood vessel erosion, thereby curbing diabetic retinopathy (eye problem), rupture of renal tubules etc. When diabetic blood is no more viscous, glomeruli damage in the kidney will be arrested, effectively preventing kidney failure.

Pesticides, chemical toxins, heavy metal, drugs, plasticizers, toxic starch can all damage the kidney, which has to work 24/7 to filter all these toxins. However, excessive toxins in the body will lead to kidney overload, compromise kidney functions and even cause kidney stones, nephritis, cyst or tumour or kidney failure. In the end, the kidney will just give up and stop working.

We should consume clean, alkaline and anti-oxidant water more, the characteristics of which are found in Bamboo Salt water, to help detoxify the kidney on a long-term basis. Drink 8 glasses (2 litres) of Bamboo Salt water daily to help the kidney filter accumulated toxins, thereby preventing kidney stones and nephritis as well as keeping tumours at bay.

With a normal diet, a lot of acidic substances and a little alkaline substances are produced in the body. There are 2 major classes of acidic substances—carbonic acids (volatile) and fixed acids (non-volatile). Sugars, lipids, and proteins undergo oxidative decomposition to produce acidic substances such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, lactic acid, pyruvic acid etc. Fixed acids are derived from proteins, the production of which is directly proportional to protein level in the body. Fixed acids must be neutralized and expelled by the kidney, failing which they will wreak havoc in the body.

When renal tubules discharge acidic urine, hydrogen and sodium ions are exchanged to produce sodium bicarbonate (NaHCo3). The kidney reabsorbs bicarbonates filtered by glomeruli and produces new bicarbonates to stabilize the latter’s concentration in the extracellular fluid, thereby maintaining the acid/base balance in the body.

Therefore alkaline Bamboo Salt water is an important source of alkali that helps the kidney maintain a balanced pH.

§Gall stones, the main constituent of which is cholesterol, are formed inside the gall bladder. The main function of the gall bladder is to store and concentrate bile acid, which contains mainly cholesterol in liquid form. If the body is lack of water, or when the cholesterol concentration is too saturated, insoluble cholesterol will be deposited in the gall bladder as gall stones. According to a survey, 80% of gall stone cases is due to not taking breakfast. This is because of the fact that bile acid, being concentrated and stored overnight and not expelled during breakfast, tends to get deposited.

§Gall stone symptoms include dwindling appetite, nausea, jaundice, sustained fever and severe abdominal pain in serious cases, leading eventually to life-threatening biliary inflammation, pancreatitis and inflammation of the liver.

§Bamboo Salt water plays a vital role in the prevention and treatment of gall stones via its miraculous effects on diluting bile acid and dissolving gall stones. According to Chinese medicine, the gall bladder is associated with the gall meridian, which triggers migraine when the gall is having some trouble, hence the reason why Bamboo Salt is especially effective against migraine.

§Hepatitis is the medical name for liver inflammation. Some hepatitis patients do not have any symptoms, while others exhibit jaundice, poor appetite, vomiting, fatigue, abdominal pain or diarrhoea.

§There are two types of hepatitis—acute and chronic. Acute hepatitis, when neglected or wrongly treated, can progress into the chronic form or even acute liver failure, liver cirrhosis or cancer.

§If you drink Bamboo Salt water, you will not be susceptible to acute hepatitis. In the event of acute hepatitis, drink large quantity of Bamboo Salt water to get rid of the disease within a short time.

§When neglected acute hepatitis progresses to chronic hepatitis, especially Type B and C, we need to consume ANT Brazilian Propolis besides drinking daily, on an empty stomach, 4 glasses of Bamboo Salt water (1 teaspoon (2g) of Bamboo Salt in 300 ml of water). The correct way to take the Propolis is add 10 drops of it in 1/3 glass of water and consume 3 times a day. Bamboo Salt, together with ANT Propolis, can control hepatitis and stimulate the production of antibodies in the liver to fight the disease.

Nowadays the liver, a detoxifying organ, is heavily taxed by food, water and environmental pollution, and overloaded with chemical toxins, food additives, preservatives, seasonings, colourings, drugs etc. that abound in the market. When it accumulates too much toxins, the body feels lethargic, and appetite drops. Other symptoms include nausea, sustained mild fever, aversion to cold, dull complexion and lacklustre skin. In this condition, the liver needs copious fluid and powerful anti-oxidants such as vitamins (A, B, C, E) as well as minerals (e.g. zinc and selenium), anti-oxidants such as SOD and Glutathione for self-detoxification.

Bamboo Salt, a powerful anti-oxidant, exerts a strong detoxifying action on the liver. For ordinary liver detoxification, daily intake of 2 teaspoons (4g) of Bamboo Salt in 2 litres of water is already adequate. For livers overloaded with too much toxins, drinking 4 glasses of Bamboo Salt water (1/2 teaspoon (1g) – 1 teaspoon (2g) in 300ml of water in each glass) on an empty stomach is needed to detoxify the liver successfully.

The common cold, a type of viral infection, shows pronounced symptoms of running nose, nasal congestion and sneezing. Flu exhibits very similar symptoms as the common cold, but the symptoms are much stronger, accompanied by fever and body pain.

Since the common cold is a viral infection, it is a self-limiting disease that lasts about a week. Common cold medications do not shorten the course of the disease but only alleviate the symptoms, making the patients more comfortable.

No matter the common cold or flu, a lot of rest is in order. At the same time, taking 6 – 8 glasses of ½ teaspoon of Bamboo Salt in 300ml of water daily can boost immunity to fight the virus as well as to prevent dehydration and expedite recovery.

Ocular hyperplasia, commonly known as eye film, is caused by pterygium hyperplasia--local hypertrophy of the conjunctiva. It will invade the cornea and give rise to blocked vision eventually. Eyelid hyperplasia, which must be removed with laser or surgery, has a high relapse rate. The problem is easily overcome with a drop of Bamboo Salt eye drop a few times daily, barring surgery. When the hyperplasia is gone, keep using the eye drop to prevent relapses.

Eye inflammations can be divided into styes and glandular granuloma. A stye arises due to Staphylococcus aureus infection, causing redness, swelling, heat and pain. On the other hand, glandular granuloma is the result of too much fatty food, late nights or improper diet, causing abnormal sebaceous secretion and blockade of the Meibomian glands. The aftermath—inflammation, redness, swelling and tenderness. Just apply Bamboo Salt eye drop on the eye a few times daily, and any eye inflammation will subside in a few days.

If the eye is red, swollen and painful, sensitive to light; or if it feels like there is a foreign body in it; or there is abundant secretion; or cries tears for no apparent reasons, it must be a bacterial infection.

The most common eye inflammation is conjunctivitis. However, when viruses form retinal choroiditis, it can cause inflammatory macular degeneration, and uveitis can in turn cause iritis. Note that inflammation in the eye is one of the causes of secondary glaucoma.

Hence, when there is eye inflammation, we must quickly apply Bamboo Salt eye drop. Just apply one drop each time, and do it a few times daily. The earlier we use Bamboo Salt eye drop, the faster the recovery. Delay at your own peril, because eye diseases may set in, or even blindness.

At the beginning stage of acute macular degeneration (AMD), shadows or blurred areas appear in central vision, objects become distorted, and words on paper look bent. Over time, objects become magnified and darker. In the final stage, central vision is gone since the macula is responsible for focal length adjustment in the retina.

3 major causative factors in AMD:

1. Light—the eyes are exposed for a long period of time to blue ray (computers, mobile phones) and UV rays in sunlight.

2. Age—the aging process gives rise to arteriosclerosis and oxidation in the eye, metabolic dystrophy etc.

3. Degree of myopia—when short-sightedness exceeds 600 degrees, the eye will degenerate due to poor circulation and inadequate nutrient supply. On top of that, the problem of intraocular pressure will compound damages to the optic nerve over time.

Other factors such as diabetes, hypertension, smoking, alcohol, lack of nutrients (e.g. beta-carotene) can trigger AMD as well. For AMD prevention and improvement (glaucoma and cataract too), we must avoid all the above factors, drink the powerful anti-oxidant Bamboo Salt water long-term, and apply Bamboo Salt eye drop every day.

Cataract arises due to the lens opacity. It contributes to 50% of blindness and 33% of vision impairment in the world. Patients often experience symptoms such as reduced colour perception, blurred vision, halo, inability to adapt to bright light, and visual impairment in dark environments.

The main causes of cataract include aging and risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, UV light and alcohol. All these factors generate a lot of free radicals that render the lens opaque, causing reduced amount of detectable light in the retina, vision impairment and ultimately blindness.

Bamboo Salt is a powerful anti-oxidant, so that drinking it long-term can help eradicate free radicals, reduce their damages, and even protect the eye against cataract. Just apply Bamboo Salt eye drop to form a protection net on the eye to prevent/alleviate cataract.

Glaucoma, the second major cause of blindness, can be divided into:
Open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, primary or secondary glaucoma.

The main causes of glaucoma include high intraocular pressure and slow exit of aqueous humour. Normal intraocular pressure is 10 – 20mmHg. In a lot of cases, a rise in intraocular pressure is caused by hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, overusing the eye (because of work or indulgence in mobile phones).

Another major cause of glaucoma is poor drainage of aqueous humour in the eye. Since it is poorly excreted, it accumulates in the eye, resulting in high intraocular pressure over time. When the pressure gets too high, the compression on optic nerve will eventually lead to blindness.

Hence it is highly advisable to get the eye checked for glaucoma when the peripheral vision becomes blur; or when the eye is red, swollen and painful; or when dizziness and nausea is persistent.

Before impaired vision sets in, use Bamboo Salt water as eye drops. Though there is a tingling sensation, no harm will come to the eye. Open one eye and apply Bamboo Salt eye drop, and keep it in there for about 30 seconds. When the tingling sensation subsides, apply the eye drop to the other eye. Do this 3 – 5 times a day for good efficacy. Bamboo Salt eye drop is the best choice for glaucoma because it reduces intraocular pressure and expels excess aqueous humour!

Women are ambivalent to period pain, the 2 major causes of which are as shown below: 1.Primary period pain—as a result of prostaglandin secretion in the woman’s body 2.Secondary period pain—as a result of various reasons

Period pain secondary to uterine fistula arises because the body is acidic, resulting in thick menstrual blood. Moreover, there is a tremendous loss of calcium during menstruation, leading to uterine tendon cramps.

This type of menstrual pain can be relieved with drinking more Bamboo Salt water every day to neutralize body acidity and rarefy menstrual discharge. In addition, take some calcium supplements, and the problem will go away after some time.

Male hormone level surges during adolescence. For young women, menstruation and hormonal imbalance stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more sebum which, together with sloughed skin cells, tend to accumulate in hair follicles, leading to inflammation and pimples, and even pustules in severe cases.

To stop pimples from aggravating, we must cut down on oily, spicy food as well as avoid dirty and fumes both at home and at work. In addition, stop using makeup to conceal pimples. Make sure your lifestyle is normal and you get adequate sleep.

One way to treat pimples is to drink Bamboo Salt water every day, and wash the face, once in the morning and once at night, with 1 tablespoon (4g) of salt in 500ml of filtered water. Alternatively, just add a teaspoon (2g) of Bamboo Salt to a few drops of water, and use it to wash the face directly. Not only does Bamboo Salt cleanses hair follicle blockade, it also curbs inflammation (giving a little tingling sensation in the face). Wash the face thoroughly after 10 – 15 minutes of Bamboo Salt application. When the pimples are gone, continue washing the face with dilute Bamboo Salt water to prevent recurrence. Note that this method is only applicable to oily skin.

Apart from pathogenic heat and sore throat, eating excessive fried food during Chinese New Year can lead to toothache, gingivitis, mouth ulcers and so on.

Toothache can be readily attenuated by inserting Bamboo Salt into the tooth cavity or gap.

For gingivitis, the best way is to drink daily a few times of Bamboo Salt water (½ – 1 teaspoon + 250ml of water), and rub the salt on ulcerated areas in the mouth. That is the reason why babies with hand, foot and mouth disease, after taking Bamboo Salt water (50ml/5 grids of water + ¼ teaspoon/0.5g of Bamboo Salt), start to drink milk again because the mouth ulcer pain is gone. In addition, it is a good idea to give probiotic supplement to babies with hand, foot and mouth disease.

Chinese New Year is a time to indulge in good food. Children tends to drink a lot of carbonated drinks and eat fried snacks.

Most fizzy drinks fall between pH2.6 – pH3.0, i.e. they are highly acidic and contains lots of sugar. Parents are urged to add some Sambou Bamboo Salt into fizzy drinks to, besides enhancing the taste, neutralize sugar and acidity in fizzy drinks so as to minimize damages to the children.

Eating too much fried snacks can cause pathogenic heat, and half a teaspoon (1g) of Sambou Bamboo Salt in 200ml – 250ml of water can readily solve the problem. When sore throat occurs, just suck on about 1/4 ～ 1/3 teaspoon of the salt intermittently to get rid of sore throat.

Chinese New Year is a time for seafood, meat and beans galore. Coupled with fizzy drinks and alcohol, high uric acid may ensue. Remember to take a lot of Sambou Bamboo Salt water to neutralize uric acid and prevent gout attacks. It is also a good measure to avoid high blood sugar.

With the rainy season just over, mosquitos have started to ravage again, causing an exponential rise in dengue cases. If there are fever that persists for 3 days, rashes, muscle or joint pain, painful eyes, vomiting, headache etc., it is better to visit the hospital for dengue diagnosis, though there is still no medication for the disease as yet.

Take 1 teaspoon (2g) of Sambou Bamboo Salt in 250ml of water to curb dengue. Drinking at least 4 glasses of Sambou Bamboo Salt daily on empty stomach (1 glass at a time on empty stomach) can effectively suppress dengue virus and stop the decline in platelet count. At this stage, consumption of tonics that can stimulate blood production can raise platelet count the next day, even to the normal level.

During remission, it is common for patients to feel weak. They should continue drinking Sambou Bamboo Salt water to replenish electrolytes and control the fever. It promotes normal urination and speedy recovery and, at the same time, arrests the progression into bone pain and haemorrhagic fever.

Cold, allergic rhinitis and sinusitis produce very similar symptoms. In sinusitis, apart from a runny nose and nasal congestion, there is also thick yellowish mucus that stinks, plus some facial swelling and pain. Most cases of sinusitis develop as a result of poor management of allergic rhinitis over a long period of time. Severe cases of sinusitis may give rise to late complications such as optic nerve inflammation, which will eventually lead to visual impairment, dural abscess, meningitis, cognitive degeneration etc.

Pumping bamboo salt eye drops into the nasal cavity can clean up thick pus in sinusitis, curb inflammation of the nasal mucosa to relieve congestion and promote easy breathing. We can cleanse the nasal cavity a few times a day with bamboo salt eye drops, the efficacy of which can be seen in a week’s time.

NB. Contemporary medicine also recommends cleansing the nasal cavity with physiological saline (0.9% of NaCl) to treat sinusitis.

Electrolytes are great contributors to the body, a chemical plant in nature. Major electrolytes in the body include sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), Magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+) and chloride (Cl-).
Electrolytes play a number of key functions in the body, including:

(1) ensuring a regular heart beat
(2) maintaining a normal blood pressure
(3) the transmission of nerve messages
(4) muscle relaxation and contraction
(5) acid-base balance
(6) cellular osmotic pressure and so on.

When the body lacks electrolytes, there will be drowsiness, general malaise, irregular heartbeat, nausea, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, stiff muscles etc.

It is especially important to drink copious quantity of BAMBOO SALT WATER while working under the hot sun or in a hot environment that causes profuse sweating. That is because sweat contains a lot of sodium and chloride plus a little calcium, magnesium and potassium, and drinking bamboo salt water can replenish sodium and chloride in the body to ensure that there are sufficient electrolytes all the time.

As for diabetes, we should be more concerned about the group with pre-diabetes symptoms (latency period of diabetes), because the number of people in this group far exceeds that of actual diabetics.

According to studies by diabetes specialists, if we could intervene on the diet of this pre-diabetes group, control their food intake and enhance their exercise regimen, we could reduce their risk of diabetes by as much as 50%.

Bamboo salt can neutralize blood glucose, reduce the body’s dependence on insulin to indirectly mitigate pancreas burden. Drinking bamboo salt water during diabetes intervention produces a more pronounced effect.

In the body, uric acid is formed by breaking down purines, found in abundance in red meat, innards, seafood and beans. A large quantity of uric acid is easily formed and deposited in joints when the body is acidic or when there positive ions such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium are lacking in the blood, leading to acute gout, characterized by redness, swelling as well as intense heat and pain in the joints. Gout often happens in the big toe, ankle, knee and other joints. Chronic hyperuricemia can cause kidney dysfunction, while repeated gout attacks can damage the joints, giving rise to osteoarthritis.

To cure hyperuricemia and gout, we must avoid foods high in purines such as highly acidic drinks including beer, and high sugar beverages such as soft drinks and high fructose drinks. Drinking copious quantity of bamboo salt water can improve acidic constitution and replenish positive ions (sodium) to neutralize uric acid and prevent calcium loss. We can also drink ANT green Brazilian propolis during a gout attack to curb inflammation.

Viscous blood, commonly known as thick blood, is increasingly affecting the younger age group. Viscous blood is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, especially in patients with the 3 high’s (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar).

When the body gives out the following signals, it is high time to look out for viscous blood:

1. Dizziness upon waking, drowsiness in the afternoon, alertness at night
2. When memory begins to deteriorate or when forgetfulness suddenly rears its ugly head
3. When blurred vision begins to happen intermittently
4. Stiff back, shortness of breath while doing work on a squat
5. Numbness in the extremities

There is a high tendency for thrombi to form in hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. Coupled with salt deficiency in the body and hence dehydration, water loss in blood vessels tend to generate blood clots that easily clog blood vessels, leading to stroke or myocardial infarction. That is why patients always sweat profusely before a stroke or heart attack.

Besides diet control, blood viscosity regulation should also involve bamboo salt water consumption to dilute the blood, thereby preventing blood vessel blockade following water loss in blood vessels.

Pruritus is an increasingly common health problem, especially in children and the elderly. Because the itch is so unbearable, patients often scratch the skin which, when broken, leads to dermatitis.

The main cause of pruritus is dry skin as a result of chronic water shortage. If there is a disease accompanied by long term medication, especially with diabetics and patients with lung, liver, kidney, gastrointestinal problems etc., pruritus often aggravates. It is a complex health problem compounded by long term medications and lack of water. The skin is an important detoxification organ, and excreted toxins stay on the skin to cause pruritus.

Thus it is very important to drink adequate bamboo salt water every day to get rid of pruritus. You might experience some healing crisis when you first consume bamboo salt water, in that the skin might still itch. Just apply some bamboo salt water on itchy parts to alleviate the problem.

Body odour arises because of eating habits and physical constitution. Sweating, besides cooling down the body, helps expel toxins in the body too. Sweat contains a lot of substances that promote bacterial growth, e.g. electrolytes such as calcium ions, potassium ions, sodium ions etc. as well as lactic acid, amino acids, urea and so on. Bacteria metabolize these substances and generate body odour. That is the main reason why people with acidic constitution leave behind body odour on their clothes after profuse sweating. Bamboo Salt Water easily overcomes this type of body odour.

In the case of bromhidrosis (armpit smell), besides expelling normal sweat, the topical glands in armpits also expel pheromones, a type of hormone which, when acted upon by bacteria, produces a pungent odour that gives rise to bromhydrosis. The solution to this is drinking bamboo salt water and massaging the armpits and the navel with it. Mix a tablespoon (4g) of bamboo salt with some water and lightly massage the armpits and the navel with the solution for 5-10 minutes. Then take a shower. Do it for a few consecutive days, after which the bromhidrosis will disappear.

A lot of people have migraine. In some advanced countries, it is prevalent in as high as 70% of office workers. Light migraine causes pain in a certain part of the head, but in severe cases, it feels like a hammer in one’s head, so severe that one wishes one could cut it off. Thus people with migraine attacks often bang their heads against the wall, trying to alleviate the excruciating pain.

The majority of migraine is connected to the gall bladder meridian, with an overlap into the liver meridian. The excruciating pain can originate on either side of the head or the centre. Inadequate sleep, late nights, hypopyrexia, stress, fury, anxiety and negative emotions can all affect the gall bladder meridian and trigger a migraine attack. Long-term intake of bamboo salt water, which has a soothing effect on the gall bladder meridian, can banish migraine.

It is also highly effective against other types of migraine e.g. where the urinary bladder meridian is involved (headache in the posterior part of the head) as a result of water shortage, frequent holding back of urine or kidney dysfunction; or where the stomach meridian or small intestine meridian is involved (pain in the face and cheeks) as a result of indigestion, improper diet etc.

Other triggering factors of migraine include weather changes, pungent smell, food (containing tyrosine or nitrite), periods etc. that migraine sufferers must avoid to prevent an attack.

A lot of people are troubled by stomach bloating and intestinal gas (flatulence). We can expel the gas by burping or passing out flatus. If not, they give us an uneasy feeling and in serious cases, even abdominal pain, worries and alarms. If this happens on the left side of the abdomen, we are worried that it might be a stomach problem; if it is on the right, we suspect liver inflammation; if it is on the lower part, we feel that it might be a tumour. Worse, in terrible cases, the flatulence might affect the thorax, causing laboured breathing or even suffocation, or anxiety about heart problem.

Causes of flatulence:

1. Improper ingestion method, indigestion
2. Taking cold or irritating food, or a lot of gas produced during the digestion process.
3. Gastrointestinal inflammation, affecting bowel motility
4. Too much harmful bacteria or enzyme problems in the gut
5. Constipation due to water or fibre shortage
6. Emotional or autonomic disorders
7. Gallstones, hepatitis or oncological problems.

Just chew on 1/4 - 1/3 teaspoon of bamboo salt or granules to get rid of flatulence. About 5 minutes later, burping or passing flatus will take place. Your flatulence problem will disappear immediately, giving you complete peace of mind.

Bamboo Salt Water can overcome constipation arising from water shortage. Just mix ½ to 1 teaspoon (1-2 grams) of bamboo salt in 300ml of water and drink it in the morning on empty stomach. If it makes you pass motion within an hour, it is the correct concentration of bamboo salt water for you. To cure constipation, the key is to drink 2 litres of bamboo salt water a day.

We can also cleanse the bowel with bamboo salt water every 3-6 months. The regimen involves drinking a tablespoon (4 grams) of bamboo salt in 300ml of water in the morning (on empty stomach), followed by 1-2 litres of cold water (from the fridge) about 5 minutes later to give a bloated sensation. Defecation usually comes 15 minutes later. There may be 3-5 bouts, with the last defecation excreting mostly clear water. This concludes the simple bowel cleansing process. It is best to include probiotics in the regimen. Take breakfast after all the defecation bouts (NB. This bowel cleansing process is not suitable for the elderly).

Salt is an important source of chloride for the body. The 3 major electrolytes—potassium, sodium and chloride—are expelled in the urine daily, so we need to replenish them in large quantity every day.

Chloride is the main negative ion in extracellular fluid. The absorption of potassium in food requires chloride. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach juice is formed by combining chloride and hydrogen ions. Chloride can kill bacteria in the gut and help the liver expel body toxins. It is interesting to note that there is a high concentration of chloride ions in the cerebrospinal fluid to prevent meningitis and spinal nerve inflammation.

However, a lot of people are wary of salt and prefer food with very little of it, unaware that this will lead to chloride deficiency with complications such as muscle spasm, hair loss, inadequate stomach acid and hence indigestion. Drinking bamboo salt water regularly can provide the body with adequate quantity of chloride, especially for those on a salt-free diet.

Refined salt (chemical salt) contains only chlorine and sodium. It is commonly known as sodium chloride (99.8%) but does not contain other minerals. The sodium chloride (NaCl) is obtained by electrolyzing the sea water. Therefore, the molecular structure of refined salt is too strong and can not be excreted easily. This burdens the kidney and will eventually precipitate in the kidney and forms kidney stones.

🔸Our kidneys requires water and salt to neutralize acid and to detoxify. The Sambou bamboo salt has particularly strong effect in neutralizing acid and detoxifying, hence, it brings health benefits the kidneys instead of burdens the kidney.

Salt is not the main cause of hypertension.

🔸The factors cause hypertension are: vascular occlusion, thick blood, high triglycerides, high cholesterol, emotional stress, endocrine disorders, kidney diseases, high blood pressure, obesity and other factors.

🔸The salt has been known as the cause for hypertension because the sodium in salt helps human body to store water. When people eat salty food and drink less water, the excessive salt will not be excreted. The high sodium ions and water in blood will eventually increase the density of blood vessels and raises the systolic pressure.
