Is rock salt (saindhava lavanam). Good? instead of sodium salt? Doctors say that sodium salt is not good for the heart-health. Rack salt has potassium content and it is good for heart. Is it correct sir.

Rock salt is better than factory processed salt. But all salts have sodium as main content. In rock salt, there are other minerals apart from sodium which are beneficial. In factory salt other minerals are removed and only sodium remains. Thought rock salt is better, it should not be over consumed.
