Who is the founder of Bamboo Salt?
Bamboo salt production is a process that converts minerals and salt into bioactive substances.
The bamboo salt process was first described by Kim Il-hoon (1909-1992). His book, "The Universe and the God's Medicine," was published in 1986. Kim Il-hoon recommended bamboo salt for general health, for the elderly, and for chronic diseases.
These days, many people enjoy bamboo salt and find it incredibly beneficial. Taking health into your own hands can work wonders.


What is Bamboo Salt?
Real Bamboo Salt is handmade sea salt harvested from salt pans off the west coast of South Korea on the Yellow Sea. It's called Fleur de sel.
This harvested fleur de sel is transported inland and undergoes a grand, almost miraculous process.
First, 3-year-old bamboo is cut into tubes of 70 to 90 centimeters.
The bamboo tubes are hollow inside. They will eventually be sealed with red Korean mountain clay.
They fill the tubes with harvested sea salt and then seal the ends with red Korean mountain clay. A fire is built from pine wood, and the filled bamboo tubes are placed on the grate above the fire. The bamboo tubes burn to ash, and the harvested sea salt becomes a hard mass.
In this battle with the fire, some of the sap, minerals and trace elements of the bamboo and the red Korean mountain clay penetrate into the gradually hardened sea salt.
The hardened sea salt pieces are ground into powder or crystals, depending on the desired effect. This process is repeated up to nine times.
Red clay is dug out to seal the bamboo. Empty bamboo tubes. These are filled with salt and clay.


The bamboo sticks are filled with sea salt and covered with red clay. The other photo shows the burning of the bamboo filled with sea salt to create bamboo salt.

9 x Roasted Bamboo Salt: The Magic Number in Korea
The most magical bamboo salt is created by firing nine times. The sealed bamboo tubes are then placed in an iron vat. Resins are added to the pine wood so that the fire reaches a temperature of up to 1300°C.
The bamboo burns, and the salt becomes a kind of lava: liquid bamboo salt. This liquid bamboo salt is allowed to cool and becomes a hard stone. It is then ground into crystals of coarse to very coarse bamboo salt.
What types of bamboo salts are there?
Bamboo salt can be roasted one to nine times. For the Koreans, the founders of bamboo salt, numbers are very important.
One indicates descent , independence, and also courage. The starting point is your health.
Two indicates duality , the polarity of yin and yang, additional forces, and unity. Finding balance for your health.
Nine , as the highest number in the decimal system, symbolizes "completeness" in the Bahá'í Faith. It also symbolizes birth, human perfection, the end, and the beginning of a new activity. It is the holiest number in Korea. It represents the attainment of complete health.
Once and twice roasted bamboo salt is ideal for culinary use and has no sulfur odor.
Once roasted bamboo salt
Once-roasted bamboo salt has a very fine texture . It's almost powdery and ideal for use as table salt. You use it in cooking. You can also add a pinch of bamboo salt to your glass of water and drink it. This has a very alkalizing effect.
You can also use it in your dental products or in your personal care products.
For medicinal use, you can take 1.5g to 2g with a glass of water. Start with a low dose. Always take breaks regularly. You'll find suggestions from doctors at the bottom of the blog. If you use more than 2g, consult an experienced naturopath.
Twice-roasted bamboo salt
Twice-roasted bamboo salt has a fine texture (fine crystalline form) . It's slightly coarser in texture. You can use it like table salt. You can also add a pinch of bamboo salt to your glass of water and drink it.
This salt is suitable for making a scrub. You can also use it in your dental products or personal care products.
For medicinal use, you can take 1.5g to 2g with a glass of water. Start with a low dose. Always take breaks regularly. You'll find suggestions from doctors at the bottom of the blog. If you use more than 2g, consult an experienced naturopath.
Nine times roasted bamboo salt is very restorative
Nine-time roasted bamboo salt is available in both coarse and crystalline forms and is used medicinally. It has a very strong sulfuric odor. The smell and taste take some getting used to.
Suck on a few coarse granules at least once a day as a daily supplement or sprinkle some granules in your bath for your skin.

Bamboo salt as a symbol of the fire element
With bamboo salt, we return to Eastern wisdom. According to Eastern philosophy, everything in the world is formed from the five elements. These five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.


Nothing reflects the power of fire like 9x roasted bamboo salt.
Bamboo salt is made from the five elements.
1-Metal because of its richness in minerals and trace elements,
2-Wood through the bamboo,
3-Water from the Yellow Sea,
4-Fire because it has been burned 1 to 9 times at very high temperatures
5-Earth through the red Korean mountain clay with which the bamboo tube is sealed.
What do the 5 elements in bamboo salt mean?
-Bamboo salt as a symbol of fire in the five elements
-Burning indicates the creation of new life.
Fleur de sel gains more energy and other positive properties when burned in bamboo 1 to 9 times. Bamboo salt, therefore, obtains its most important properties through burning.
-Burning or roasting is the best way to purify something.
This salt has been very well thought out!!!!

A very clear short description of the 5 elements.

In the Far East, fire represents energy. Fire can destroy much, but it can also transform, absorb, and release energy. Fire alters the properties of salt.
Fire is also a scientific method for improving the quality of substances like salt. Heating to high temperatures changes the properties of substances. Burning at high temperatures, as in the process of making bamboo salt, also removes heavy metals and other substances that evaporate due to the heat.
According to ancient Chinese wisdom, salt must be heated
In the Compendium of Materia Medica, the great Chinese medical scientist Li Shi Zhen writes that salt should be roasted before use.
Why salt should be roasted
Roasting salt removes impurities and activates the energy it contains. Salt becomes healing when roasted 1 to 9 times.

Bamboo salt has the strongest 'oxidation reduction power' in the world.
If you want to eat healthy, use bamboo salt. Bamboo salt is a proven antioxidant. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.
How do you create free radicals?
Everything in the world that comes into contact with oxygen is destroyed by oxidation. If you take a bite of an apple or banana and leave it for a while, it will turn brown. This is called oxidation.
A consequence of oxidation is caused by free radicals. The same thing happens in the skin and the body, only in this case it takes not a few minutes, but decades (tens of years). These oxidation processes inevitably release free radicals.
How do you neutralize free radicals?
Free radicals attack healthy cells, damaging them. This can lead to all sorts of diseases and accelerate aging. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.
That's why it's important to eat foods rich in antioxidants. You can also take supplements containing antioxidants. So, a chemical-free diet plus foods with sufficient antioxidants can definitely slow the aging process.
How do you accelerate the production of free radicals?
Anything chemical or synthetic. Chemicals are everywhere. Think of air pollution, all kinds of pesticides, dyes, preservatives, and fragrances, stress, sugar, junk food, radiation, and many more. Avoid these substances as much as possible.
Removing free radicals, anti-aging, and curing diseases is called reduction. And bamboo salt is a champion in reduction.
An oxidation reduction experiment with bamboo salt
Ingredients
-20 grams of bamboo salt,
-Handmade sea salt
-Refined salt
These 3 raw materials are placed in 3 separate glasses with 200 ml of water.
Next, rusted nails were placed into the various salt solutions.
After three days the result was surprising in terms of both the color of the water and the rusted nails.
The bamboo salt solution achieved two things. My nails had regained their original shine, and the water was clear. Wow!
2-The homemade sea salt water solution looked quite rusty and the nails were partially free of rust.
3. In the refined saltwater solution, the water looked slightly rusty, and the nails were rusted a bit further. See link for research.


Conclusion: Only the bamboo salt water solution had reducing power.
Bamboo salt could restore the shine of the nails.
How is this possible?
Because bamboo salt ionizes minerals like hydrogen, silica, and manganese ions up to nine times during the roasting process.
-Handmade sea salt also contains various minerals, but inactive
-Refined salt contains no minerals other than sodium chloride and has no reducing power.
From now on, eat healthy with 1, 2, or 9 times roasted bamboo salt. Bamboo salt is a powerful antioxidant and inhibits the production of free radicals.
Oxidizing and reducing
The oxidizing and reducing power of food and other substances can be expressed in an oxi-reduction indicator from – 420mV (strongly reducing (hydrogen)) to + 815mV (strongly oxidizing (oxygen)).
It is stated that 0mV is neutral and that anything below 0 is a reducing force and anything above 0 is an oxidizing force.
Below zero is healing and above zero is sickening.
The further away from 0mV, the stronger the reducing or oxidizing power.
For example, once roasted bamboo salt has a reduction number of -260mV.
In other words , once roasted, bamboo salt helps to remove strong waste products and toxins from our body.
The lower the reduction number, the stronger the restorative effect, the greater the removal of waste products and toxins.
However, this number doesn't include calories or nutrients from food or drink. Healthy foods can also have an oxidizing effect, and we don't need to avoid them as long as we consume enough food or drink with a reducing effect.
Examples of highly oxidizing foods that should be avoided:
-Tap water varies from location to location +779
-Heart medication + 636
-Refined sugar +501
-Refined Table Salt + 437
-Whisky + 416
-Junk sports drinks + 294
Examples of highly recommended highly reducing foods:
-Alkaline water -250
-Once roasted bamboo salt -46
-Twice roasted bamboo salt -128
-Nine times roasted baboe salt – 430
Examples of oxidizing foods that are still recommended:
-Apples + 546
-Citrons + 407
-Oranges + 301
-Cabbage+ 113
-Lettuce + 38
Examples of low-reducing foods that are still recommended:
-Cucumber -120
-Sweet potato -172
Bamboo salt helps remove toxins and neutralize free radicals.
Most medications cause your body's cells to oxidize (age) rapidly. Most medications are strong oxidizing and acidifying agents.
But bamboo salt helps with acidification and detoxification (rejuvenation).
Do you want to become and stay healthy?
We need to pay attention to the reducing power of bamboo salt, but also to foods with reducing properties. So avoid all foods containing chemicals and synthetics. Nourish your body with nutrients. Use bamboo salt to keep your body healthy.
Of course, bamboo salt can't remove all toxins and waste products at once. Give the chemical process of "oxidation and reduction" time, and nature will help restore your vitality and health with bamboo salt.
pH value and reducing power of the different types of bamboo salt
From being roasted once to being roasted nine times, the sea salt has undergone a change in its pH value.
The more often bamboo salt is roasted, the higher its alkalinity and the stronger its reducing power. Roasting handmade sea salt multiple times increases its pH and improves its reducing power.
The process of roasting handmade sea salt affects the salt's properties. Properties that benefit our health. But even after roasting once, bamboo salt still has a very high pH.

Bamboo salt and garlic (Medical examination)
Kondo, a Japanese physician, was recently in the news with his scientifically proven statement that 90% of cancer patients do not need chemotherapy.
Modern medicine's fight against cancer, based on incisions, chemotherapy, and radiation, is completely ineffective. These are medieval practices.
Bamboo salt with garlic works wonders for stomach and intestinal complaints.
Bamboo salt has a pH of 10 that is strongly alkaline and helps to resolve illnesses or problems that originate from acidification.
The combination of garlic and bamboo salt activates several enzymes. The combination has antiseptic properties. Neither has any side effects. The medicine of the future is now available. Combine garlic with bamboo salt.

In a other research by Kim Younghee The combination of "garlic with bamboo salt" was also studied for stomach and intestinal problems. The results were fantastic: 94.52% recovery in SOD and 94.3% recovery in glutathione enzymes that removed free radicals.
The study concluded that the combination of garlic and bamboo salt can help prevent and cure stomach and intestinal problems.
Harvard Medical School has declared bamboo salt safe even at a daily dose of 30 grams. Never do this without the supervision of an experienced naturopath!
In 1995, the Dana Farber Cancer Research Center at Harvard University investigated the safety of bamboo salt. With a pH of 10 and rich in minerals, bamboo salt can be safely consumed, even at 10-30 grams per day, without any negative side effects. This is in stark contrast to regular salt.
This study was confirmed by Professor G. Heumyoung of the Yeonan Medical Institute, who found cures in 86.7% of his patients with gastric ulcers, gastric infections, and atrophic gastric infections. This was based on 1.5–2 grams of bamboo salt per day for 25 to 35 days.
In 1993, Professor Wangki of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute, with a well-known dissertation (South Korea's Clinical and Experimental Studies with Bamboo Salt), investigated the effect of bamboo salt on stomach infections and ulcers. Professor Wangki's research showed that bamboo salt cured 91.95% of subjects with stomach infections and ulcers.
The patients received 2 grams of bamboo salt in hot water with ginger three times a day. The cure rate was 91.95%.
Bamboo salt is effective against local skin allergies, says Professor Kim Hyungmin. In animals, Professor K. Hyungmin of Kyunghee University found that at concentrations of 0.1 g/kg and 1 g/kg of bamboo salt, a 24.3 and 52.2% reduction in allergy parameters such as histamine occurred.
Bamboo salt was also compared with the effects of pure salt (sodium chloride) on histamine. Pure salt had no effect, while bamboo salt had a strong effect, depending somewhat on the amount administered.
Bamboo salt improves oral hygiene and stabilizes blood pressure, says Professor Ryo Hyoik.
Biochemistry professor Ryo Hyoik of Kyemyung University gave 14 people 15 grams of bamboo salt for eight weeks. None of the participants developed high blood pressure. On the contrary, in most cases, normal blood pressure was restored.
But that wasn't the goal of the study. Bamboo salt can reduce H. pylori bacteria in the stomach (H. pylori is often associated with stomach ulcers). And the study also found that bamboo salt is particularly effective at reducing oral problems.
According to Professor Ryu, the molecular size of bamboo salt is 10 times smaller than that of salt. Because of its 10-fold smaller molecular size, bamboo salt can move more easily between cell membranes than regular salt. Salt with larger molecular structures, such as table salt, remains in the blood more easily and simply attracts saltwater. Table salt is also processed and toxic. This means that table salt raises blood pressure. Bamboo salt has 300-600 A. Salt has 3000-7000 A. 1A = 0.000,000 08 cm
Bamboo salt has a lower conductivity than regular table salt. Therefore, bamboo salt can play a pharmaceutical role.
Professor Kim Muyung of Beijing Fiber University investigated the conductivity of salt and bamboo salt (using X-ray and electron microscopy).
Drugs with low conductivity pass through cell membranes more easily than drugs with higher conductivity. Bamboo salt has a lower conductivity and a different molecular structure than regular salt and can play a better pharmaceutical role and provide more energy.
In addition, bamboo salt is strongly basic and regular salt is rather neutral.
Hanyang University confirms the strong antimicrobial value of bamboo salt. Salmonella doesn't stand a chance in bamboo salt.
Salmonella is a gram-positive bacterium that has little chance of survival in bamboo salt. The university demonstrated that bamboo salt outperforms refined table salt and sea salt. The researchers believe this is because bamboo salt is more alkaline, contains more other trace elements, and has a higher oxidation-redox potential.
