Black salt is mined in Asian countries such as India.
Medicinally, it's used for it's laxative and bowel properties. As well as having digestive properties, it is also believed to treat heartburn and for low-salt diets because it's considered to have a lower content of Salt and because it's not pure NaCl.
Chemically, it consists of NaCl, Iron and Sulfur components as well as a few trace elements.
In Asian countries, it's also used to be added to foods as an ingredient for recipes. I don't know much about this product but that pretty much sums up what I know.
