Kshaar salt is a unique, naturally iodized alkaline salt. Extracted from the Sambhar lake, near the city of Jaipur, in Rajasthan, India, it is the only salt in the world with a pH value of around 9.5.

The therapeutic values not only stem from its high alkaline index, but also from the 54 minerals that it is endowed with. Kshaar salt thus enhances immunity and acts as a protective shield against illnesses.

Kshaar salt can be extracted only from a limited section of the lake, which is why it is limited and priceless. This section of the Sambhar lake is specially enriched with minerals and nutrients. It is also home to specialized algae and bacteria that give the salt its pink color and its natural iodine.

Kshaar salt is sourced from the Sambhar Lake, which is a 35 km long salt water lake, southwest of Jaipur, in Rajasthan, India. It is the largest inland salt-lake in India, rich with specialized algae and bacteria and over 54 essential minerals, which is why it is considered one of India's most unique and prized resources.

The history of salt farming at the Sambhar lake in India dates back to the pre-independence British period. The lake is recognized as a wetland of international importance, due to it being home to thousands of pink flamingos and other birds that migrate from northern Asia and Siberia to feed on the rich therapeutic algae that this lake possesses. A look back in history reveals that the Sambhar lake dates back to the times of Mahabharata.
