In ancient Hawaii, on the island of what is now Kauai, red volcanic clay called Alaea “met” Sea Salt when, during heavy rains, the red clay sediment seeped into the ocean from Kauai’s rivers. When this red ocean water became trapped in tidal pools, evaporation created Hawaiian Red Alaea Sea Salt. This salt is rich in minerals from the sea and volcanic red clay from the earth. The volcanic red clay is high in iron oxide. Hawaiian Red Sea Salt is said to have curative properties when used for sore throats, wounds, body aches, muscle sprains, gum infections and cold sores.
