Indian black salt is just rock salt mixed with a small quantity of herbs (Amla and Haritaki) added and then heated. There is not one atom of evidence to indicate that it is any more or less healthy than any other type of salt for cooking. It has not been tested by the FDA and any claims sellers may make are not based on scientific facts. Any perceived benefits are almost definitely from the placebo effect. (You feel better because you think you are going to feel better)
