6 Reasons to use Apple Himalayan Rock Salt during Upvas

The holy month of Shravan is a reminder that the festival season has officially begun. Until Diwali, we celebrate the season of faith, festivals, and fasting. Shravan is directly followed by the Ganpati festival, Navratri, and Diwali.

Shravan itself brings Shiva’s puja, abhisheks, Janmashtami, Satam-Aatham mela, and countless other rituals that are filled with devotion and joy.

But beyond celebrations, these festival seasons are about discipline. This is the month when devotees begin their fasts. Some choose ektana for Chaturmas, while others keep upvas on special occasions like Shravan Mondays, Janmashtami, Panchami, and other days dedicated to the lords.

On the surface level, fasts are acts of showing respect to God, but fasting or upvas has deeper and scientific meanings too. Fasting is believed to purify both mind and body. Physically, it gives the digestive system rest, allowing the body to detoxify and rejuvenate. During these upvas times, only sattvik meals are taken, like sabudana khichdi, farali chevda, and sing-bateta khichdi, to sustain energy. But one thing remains common across all the upvas meals—Apple Himalayan Rock Salt.

During this holy time, regular table salt takes a back seat and only Apple Himalayan Rock Salt is used to season and balance the taste of every faraali food.

The choice of Apple Himalayan Rock Salt is a perfect balance of faith and science.

High in Minerals

White salt is made of sodium and chloride, but Apple Himalayan Rock Salt contains calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other important minerals. This means Apple Himalayan Rock Salt ensures that the body gets essential nutrients during upvas.

Gentle on Digestion

Ironically, whenever the body is fasting, the digestive system slows down. But Apple Himalayan Rock Salt is mild on the stomach and aids in better digestion of vrat dishes like sabudana, potatoes, and rajgira.
