Minerals & Nutrition
Trace minerals, hydration and whole-food foundations.
Wellness starts with the fundamentals — minerals, hydration, and nutrient-dense food. Before stacking supplements, it pays to understand what the body actually needs and where modern diets fall short.
This pillar covers mineral-rich whole foods, Celtic sea salt and trace minerals, electrolyte balance, and hydration. We focus on food-first approaches and evidence-informed supplementation where gaps exist.
Educational content only — not medical advice. We share traditional use and emerging research; consult a qualified practitioner before using herbs or supplements, especially if you take medication or are pregnant.
Plant & Knowledge Profiles
Celtic Sea Salt
Sel gris
Mineral-rich, moist sea salt harvested by hand.
Traditional use
Long valued in coastal communities as a whole, unrefined salt retaining trace minerals.
What research suggests
Contains trace magnesium, calcium and potassium alongside sodium. Not a medical treatment, but a less-processed alternative to refined table salt.
Trace Minerals
Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium & more
Micronutrients the body needs in small amounts for hundreds of processes.
Traditional use
Obtained historically through diverse diets and mineral-rich water; modern farming has reduced soil mineral content.
What research suggests
Well-established roles for magnesium, zinc and selenium in enzyme function, immunity and energy. Deficiency is common; supplementation may help where intake is inadequate.
Electrolytes & Hydration
Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium
The balance that keeps nerves, muscles and fluids working.
Traditional use
Replenished naturally through salt, fruit and water; re-emphasised in modern sports nutrition.
What research suggests
Electrolyte balance is critical for hydration, cramp prevention and performance. Needs rise with heat, exercise and illness.

Do I need a multivitamin?+
Not always. A nutrient-dense diet is the best source. Supplements can fill specific gaps, ideally identified through testing with a healthcare practitioner.
Is Celtic sea salt healthier than table salt?+
It is less refined and retains trace minerals, but it is still sodium — use in moderation, especially if managing blood pressure.
How much water do I really need?+
Individual needs vary with climate, activity and body size. A practical guide is pale-yellow urine and drinking to thirst, increasing with heat and exercise.
