About Us

American BlueGreen, LLC is the exclusive importer of The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt™ brand of salt as featured in the book, Water & Salt, The Essence of Life by Dr. Barbara Hendel, MD and Peter Ferreira.

We at American BlueGreen, LLC understand that Mother Nature’s ability to foster perfection simply cannot be improved upon. The challenge, and reward for us to take part in her grand design, lay in respecting and preserving the inherent qualities of her handiwork. Further, to strive to keep those naturally occurring values intact, without modification of any kind, and delivering the intended benefits of her offerings to those eager to accept.

For generations, the people in a remote mountainous area of Pakistan have worked in loving cooperation with Nature through the careful and thoughtful gathering of one of their daily needs; salt. Abundantly available from a salt mine in their community, the local folks have been extracting the mineral-rich salt by hand, without the use of mechanical or explosive techniques. After being brought from beneath the mountain, the salt is hand-selected, hand-crushed and sun dried. This long-standing tradition is in perfect harmony with ours, and Nature’s own values.

Following the release of the bestselling book, Water & Salt, The Essence of Life, by Dr. Barbara Hendel, MD and biophysicist, Peter Ferreira, the Western world turned its attention to these people of the East and their prized natural resource. Overnight, the salt that had for centuries provided them with one of their essential needs, now had the potential to become a model for economic development and to help build a bridge from the past to the future.

American BlueGreen, LLC is proud to have been chosen as one of only two companies worldwide to take part in shaping and creating the vision for the local people. As the importer for all English speaking countries, it is important that our Original Himalayan Crystal Salt™ line of products reflects the respect for the culture and values of the community. We have formed a long-term partnership with the local people to bring together the best that the East and West have to offer and have pledged to preserve the integrity of their traditional mining methodologies. We provide more than jobs; we have given the community the possibility for development and improvement at the local level.

There is sufficient salt in the mine to serve many future generation and we have established a close professional and personal relationship with our Pakistani partners to establish manageable rates of growth without overtaxing their production capacity and workforce. We will continue to explore opportunities together for bringing their precious natural commodity to the ever expanding community we serve together.

American BlueGreen wishes everyone a life of fullness and potential, the chance for a life worth living, for finding one's true self. We recognize the "spark" of light in each heart and the capacity to enjoy and be nurtured by Nature's elements. We believe that all human beings form the links in an unbreakable chain, like beads on one string. Trying to tamper with them is bound to affect the whole chain. Our goal is to educate, the purpose being to draw out the best in all of us and make us an integrated whole, physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.

Thank you for participating in and sharing in our vision.
