These are the wonderful properties of black (Thursday)
I hope that this information was useful and interesting for you, my dear visitors. You learned what black salt is, how to prepare it at home, what its benefits are and how to use it.
Since the preparation of “Thursday salt” is often mentioned in the same breath, the question may arise: isn’t “Thursday salt” one of those really only forgotten during the years of Soviet power?
The answer is negative. The fact is that the belief in the miraculous power of Thursday salt is one of the many pagan superstitions that arose in ancient times. This is easy to learn from the scientific literature.
Such books say that in the folk beliefs of the Slavs, “salt is a symbol used independently and in combination with bread, mainly.”
The salt that has dissolved in food is associated with its invisible, but extremely significant for the sense of taste, part, like the meaning, the essence of food - its “salt” in a figurative sense. The judgment that salt can be a talisman is based on its material properties: salt is produced by man and belongs to the world of culture, contributes and can be thrown in the face of a pest (phraseological units).
In Belarus, for example, they put salt in the ears of a newborn to protect him. According to Ukrainian belief, the evil spirit is afraid of salt. In the Vladimir province they thought that the devil was afraid of salt and would never approach the fire if salt was thrown into it.
In rituals associated with the birth of a child and at weddings, salt, as a rule, was combined with bread and expressed positive meanings: it protected bread and the house from the influence of hostile forces. And when treating her with bread and salt, symbolizing the establishment, she gave this relationship a touch of heartfelt intimacy...
And this is not a complete list of beliefs associated with salt. So, salt, according to popular belief, can protect against hostile forces and influences. But it is not by chance that Thursday salt is endowed with special power: many different rituals are attached, aimed at well-being in the family and household for the entire coming year.
In the 19th century, Thursday salt was usually obtained as follows: on the night from Wednesday to Thursday of Holy Week or on the morning of Maundy Thursday, salt, wrapped in a clean rag or placed in a bowl (and sometimes in an old bast shoe), was burned in the oven. (Fire, which, according to popular beliefs, had a purifying ability, thus “strengthened” the “protective” properties of salt.)
In some areas, Thursday salt was simply taken outside under the stars. In the Kaluga province, not only black salt was taken out under the stars at night, but also soap, ash and water to make them healing.
Sometimes healing properties were attributed to Thursday salt, which lay on the table next to the bread the night before.
The peasants took Thursday salt internally, rubbed it with a solution, and gave sick cattle bread salted with it or diluted a pinch in a drinking bowl. As a talisman, Thursday salt was sewn into an amulet and worn on the chest.
According to popular belief, not only Thursday salt, but also Annunciation salt has healing properties. It was prepared in the same way, but only on.
Thursday salt is becoming popular again these days. At the same time, people, convinced of its miraculous power, again seek to win the Church over to their side. This causes understandable confusion among parishioners. Many church ministers say that this is the first time they have heard about the consecration of salt, that they have never seen or heard anything like this.
So what is Thursday salt, and what is it used for?
There is a prayer in the breviary, but this is not the consecration of the Holy Thursday salt, but simply a prayer, similar to the prayer for the blessing of livestock, sowing and vegetables. Now this custom is becoming popular in some parishes and monasteries, but it is nothing more than a far-fetched ritual.
You can approach this in different ways - you can read a prayer over salt, you can bring it on a certain day for consecration, too. However, it is strange to attribute to her any special healing power or grace. The use of this salt is limited to cooking only, so it is nothing more than blessed salt from the temple.
Those attributed to her remain on the conscience of the distributors of these stories.
At the beginning of the last century, no one would have been surprised to see black salt called Thursday salt on the table. Everyone had it, from simple peasants to gentlemen. In pre-revolutionary Russia, it was done without fail in every Orthodox family on the eve of Easter.
Black Thursday salt and just black salt are slightly different things. It’s just that black salt, which is sold in elegant packages in the store, is brought from India and is positioned as a panacea for everything. Black Thursday salt, valued in Russia since ancient times for its weight in gold, is simple table salt burned with bread or leaven grounds in the oven. It was done only on one night a year, from Wednesday to Maundy Thursday, and it was certainly consecrated in the temple. Hence the name of the salt - Thursday.
It should not be used as a spice or food condiment, but there are many observations about its beneficial properties. By adding fragrant herbs during calcination, the ancestors enhanced the benefits of black salt and used it for medicinal purposes.
Since it is made from ordinary table salt, it differs from it in appearance only in the color of the crystals, which turn from white when heated to almost black, or rather dark gray. Thanks to herbs and other ingredients, it acquires a specific aroma, which depends on the original ingredients.
Black salt from Kostroma: benefits and harms
People who use food seasoning for medicinal purposes are convinced that today the real mixture is prepared only in Kostroma, where it has been produced since time immemorial in the then Kostroma province. Only there they observe the original, centuries-old traditions of preparation, which, according to adherents, make it truly healing.
To prepare such a product, not only a certain time, food and utensils are used, but also special firewood. In the old days, each housewife set aside one log every Sunday of Lent to prepare healing salt. Baked in a Russian oven for a long time with cabbage leaves and rye flour, ordinary salt became a completely different product and new properties.
Only with this salt were they eaten eggs painted for Easter and salted holiday dishes.
Scientific research has shown that calcined salt contains not only a huge amount of microelements, but also a reduced content of sodium chloride and heavy metals. But it is precisely because of the increased sodium content that salt is called “white death”, joint mobility decreases and the functioning of internal organs deteriorates.
The ancestors' belief in black salt also extended to its magical properties. A pinch of the consecrated product was placed in a canvas bag in a secluded corner in order to protect the home from hostile forces, unclean spirits and the evil eye.
It was also believed that drinking a glass of water with a pinch of black salt before visiting guests would prevent possible poisoning. Added to washing water, it normalizes the functioning of the nervous system and eliminates skin problems. And if you steam slightly tired legs in salt water, you can quickly normalize blood circulation and relieve fatigue.
In modern cosmetology, black salt is used as an ingredient in face and hair masks. As for the misconceptions about its harm, any healing agent turns into poison if the measure and proper proportions are not observed or if it is abused.
What are the benefits of black salt?
The composition of Thursday salt previously varied depending on the area in which it was prepared. Therefore, it is difficult to talk about a single cooking recipe.
Kvass grounds, soaked bread crumbs, and linseed oil were added to the salt. Some recipes allowed the addition of cabbage leaves, boiled eggs, milk, rye flour and medicinal herbs.
It is clear that it is unacceptable to confuse black salt from India and from Kostroma, because it is Kostroma that has generally recognized special healing properties. Ancient recipes and cooking traditions have been preserved here, giving it useful features.
It contains less sodium and more potassium, no traces of heavy metal salts, sulfur, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, iodine, magnesium, manganese and copper.
Indian is mined in areas rich in hydrogen sulfide, and this gives it not only a unique taste, but also the ability to activate digestion.
Kostroma salt is used not only for magical purposes, but also as a medicinal product that improves many processes in the human body. It has a completely different taste and much more beneficial properties.
What are the benefits of black Thursday salt?
Black salt benefits
Kostroma Thursday salt is widely used in three basic areas of human life: cooking, cosmetology and medicine. When heated in a stove or oven, the composition of ordinary table salt changes and it acquires new properties.
It brings particular benefits when added to ready-made dishes. Bread with this spice does not become soggy, is fluffy, crumbly and has a special aroma. When prepared with such salt, it affects the digestive system and metabolic processes.
In cosmetology it is used in the preparation of masks for the face and hands, healing baths for feet and hands, relaxing baths for the whole body. It is indispensable in the fight against cellulite, roughness and aging of the epidermis.
Baths with black Thursday salt:
Normalize the activity of the nervous system;
Eliminate some skin lesions;
Restore blood circulation in the extremities;
Prevents vascular thrombosis;
Swelling and chronic fatigue.
Unlike simple black salt, Kostroma salt is introduced for medicinal purposes into the diet of hypertensive patients, people with heart disease and liver disease. The improved chemical composition makes it possible to use during diets, as it promotes the accelerated removal of excess fluid from the body.
Direct benefits can be obtained not only from the product in its pure form. Knowing some of the subtleties of cooking, Thursday spice can be used purposefully, obtaining the optimal result:
Improve the condition of bone tissue and teeth;
Cleanse the body of toxins;
Normalize metabolic processes in the body and optimize digestion;
For minor food poisoning, use as an absorbent;
Prevent bloating and constipation;
Relieve the liver and optimize its functionality;
Increase visual acuity;
Mixed with honey, treat some gum diseases;

Traditional medicine used black Kostroma salt not only for medicinal but also for cosmetic purposes. For example, it was used to treat acne. It is this circumstance that has made the use of natural products so widespread in modern cosmetology.
Particular attention should be paid to the significant difference between ordinary black salt and Thursday salt from Kostroma. The Kostroma recipe has centuries-old traditions and brings real benefits when used correctly. 
Black salt is harmful
The notorious harm of the product is greatly exaggerated. White table salt is much more harmful; if consumed at the same time in an amount of 35 grams, a person can easily die. This doesn't stop people from adding it to their food daily. Like any healing agent, medicine, medical preparation, black salt can only cause harm to health if used incorrectly and in excess.
The maximum dose allowed per day is 20 grams. Drinking a glass with a dessert spoon of salt dissolved in it and infusing it for 24 hours can cause problems with blood circulation, digestion and joint function.
But consumed 15 minutes before breakfast, a tablespoon dissolved in warm water will rid the body of waste and toxins, increase the feeling of fullness, remove excess fluid and help reduce weight.
For comparison, the Indian product is allowed in the amount of a teaspoon per day, and the prevailing scope of its use is baths, lotions, compresses and lotions. Inhalations from Indian salt are not allowed for people with problems and diseases of the respiratory organs.
How to make black salt
It is best to buy a natural product made in Kostroma. But, if there are doubts about the quality of what is sold on store shelves, you can prepare black salt yourself, especially if there are suitable conditions. The real spice is produced only in the oven, using birch firewood.
Perhaps the time of preparation also plays a special role, although some sources mention that when Easter salt ran out, housewives prepared a new one, and also certainly on Thursday.
The simplest home recipe is as follows:
A kilogram of Borodino bread,
200 grams of table salt,
A pinch of cumin or dill.
The mashed bread, thoroughly mixed with the ingredients, is placed in a baking dish and baked in the oven at 250 degrees until a black crust appears. It is important that the bread does not burn. It is then cooled and ground into powder.
The most complex of the recipes was used in Yaroslavl and Kostroma. It also provides the most useful version of the product. Salt is made as follows.
Rye flour, salt, eggs, milk and a special set of medicinal herbs were mixed, wrapped in a linen rag, placed in a birch bark box and buried in hot coals for 12 hours.
The result was a solid black mass with a porous structure, from which the organic substances had burned out, but a mass of minerals and trace elements remained. Shredded. it was saltier than usual, but it had a unique taste.
There are many recipes for making Thursday black salt. Even today it can be made at home by calcining salt in the oven.
Salt is stored in a closed container for a long time. If you don’t want to make it yourself, you can buy it at the store. It is not sold in every supermarket, but you can find it in large chain stores.
