Sea salt such as Cayman Sea Salt is considered by some to be a healthier alternative to table salt, since it lacks artificial chemicals used in processing. Despite the iodine content of seawater, however, sea salt typically does not contain as much of the essential nutrient iodine as does iodized table salt. However, iodized sea salt is available.
Diets with little seafood (e.g., ocean fish and shellfish) should include some source of iodine, and this is customarily supplied via iodized salt.Non-iodized sea salt is commonly advised as a healing rinse for fresh body piercings when diluted in water.
Some people go to the seashore for healing. One man reported, "There is something about the salty air and the salt in the water, that brings balance into our lives and relieves depression. Salt balances the chemicals in the brain. Being in the ocean is one of the most relaxing experiences you can have. It brings clarity."
