Schindele’s mineralen is a medical supplement composed of silicic acid, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc. It is a purely biological product, without chemical additives or radiation. According to the producer, it can be used to treat diarrhoea and irritable bowel syndrome. Schindele’s mineralen supports the stabilisation of the intestinal flora, and binds endotoxins and mycotoxins. The stones are crushed into powder by the producer according to the lunar calendar for optimal results.
Schindele’s mineralen powder is obtained from a volcanic cone of metamorphic paragneiss. This rock contains amphibolite facies formed during the fracturing of the Earth’s crust. The efficacy of the rock powder as a healing remedy was said to come from its mineral content and the solubility of minerals, or their conversion into other minerals, when specific atoms and molecules are released. The latest findings show that the adsorption of the milled rock powder is responsible for its healing effect.

Semelhante ao sabor do solo Japones, ele tem um retrogosto de inseto, o que me leva a crer que esse e um solo possivelmente rico em materia organica. E engracado como nosso sentidos se misturam, afinal a visao se aloinha com informacoes pre-existentes em nosso cerebro, levando a uma expectetiva, felizmente quebrada com o sabor unico de mais esse solo.

Sour, with minerals
