Blue salt is trending, and no, it’s not just a pretty pinch of seasoning. The viral “Blue Salt Trick” is being used across the internet for everything from spiritual energy cleansing to morning hydration and even supposed male performance boosts. But what’s fact, what’s fiction, and what’s worth trying? Here’s the real scoop on the blue salt craze, straight from the kitchen and the wellness corner.
What Is Blue Salt?
Blue salt refers to either naturally occurring Blue Persian salt a rare mineral salt from Iran or DIY dyed sea salt, sometimes made with butterfly pea flowers or food coloring. It’s prized for its striking hue and mineral content, but it’s also at the center of spiritual trends and wellness hacks.
1. The Spiritual Side: Energy Cleansing Ritual
The Practice
People are using blue salt in spiritual rituals. The idea is to hold a pinch of blue salt in the palm of your left hand, set your intentions (like letting go of stress or attracting peace), and then dispose of the salt—either by tossing it outdoors, flushing it, or sprinkling it around your home.
The Purpose
- Clear negative energy
- Attract good vibes
- Symbolic emotional reset
How To Do It:
- Place a pinch of blue salt in your left palm.
- Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
- Speak your intention aloud or in your mind.
- Discard the salt (do not reuse or ingest).
Optional: Combine this ritual with calming oils like lavender or light a candle for atmosphere.
2. Mineral Morning Drink: Boosting Hydration
Some wellness influencers suggest starting your day with a blue salt water drink. Not the dyed version, but the authentic Blue Persian salt added to water similar to Sole water or electrolyte drinks.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon Blue Persian Salt
- 1 glass (8-12 oz) filtered water
- Optional: a squeeze of lemon or a teaspoon of raw honey
Alleged Benefits:
- Improves hydration
- Replenishes trace minerals
- Supports energy levels
Note : Always use food-grade, natural mineral salt not colored or spiritual-use blends. If you have high blood pressure or kidney issues, consult your doctor first.
3. Culinary Use: A Visual and Flavor Upgrade
Blue salt isn’t just trendy it’s tasty and adds gourmet flair. Use it as a finishing salt to sprinkle on:
- Grilled steak or roasted veggies
- Avocado toast
- Dark chocolate or brownies
- Cocktails or margarita rims
Because of its bold look and delicate mineral flavor, blue salt is best used after cooking.
DIY Version:
If you can’t find Blue Persian salt, make your own version:
- Steep dried butterfly pea flowers in hot water
- Mix a few drops of the vibrant blue liquid into coarse sea salt
- Let it dry overnight before storing
4. The Controversial Use: “Salt Trick for Men”
A trending claim suggests blue salt or salt in general can improve male performance or help with erectile issues. These often come packaged as a “15-second trick.”
The Reality:
There’s no scientific evidence supporting this use. Salt does not increase testosterone or treat ED. In fact, excessive salt intake can raise blood pressure and harm cardiovascular health, which can worsen performance issues.
Verdict:
- This use is more myth than medicine
- Don’t fall for the viral hype without talking to a healthcare professional
