Four salts,
separated by fire.
The number on the jar is the number of times the salt went back into the kiln. Each pass costs a fresh bamboo culm and fourteen hours, and each pass changes the colour, the alkalinity, the mineral load and the purpose.
Choosing
Which one is yours?

You have a practice
Shashtha is the working grade of the herbal tradition — gargles, sole water, Ayurvedic and Unani preparation. Assertive and sulphurous. Use it with intent, not by habit.

You want the thing itself
Navama is a finishing salt and a ritual, not a cooking salt. A few crystals under the tongue, or three grains on something already perfect. Buy the 10 g first.

Against the field
How it measures up.
Our own two extremes against the three salts most likely to be in your kitchen already. Figures for other salts are typical published ranges, not our measurements.
Mineral index is a relative measure, 1× Bambovia = 100.
Undecided
Start at ten grams.
Every roast is offered as a ₹390 trial sachet, and the amount comes back to you as credit on your first 100 g order. Cheaper than guessing wrong once.
