Himalayan salt can be used to treat headaches by making a compress, relieve menstrual cramps by soaking in warm water, ease sinus congestion through steam inhalation, and balance pH levels in the body.

The Benefits of Himalayan Salt

Himalayan crystal salt is far superior to traditional iodized salt. Himalayan salt is millions of years old
and pure, untouched by many of the toxins and pollutants that pervade other forms of ocean salt.
Known in the Himalayas as white gold, Himalayan Crystal Salt contains the same 84 natural minerals
and elements found in the human body. This form of salt has also been maturing over the past 250 million
years under intense tectonic pressure, creating an environment of zero exposure to toxins and impurities.
Himalayan salts unique cellular structure allows it to store vibrational energy. Its minerals exist in a
colloidal form, meaning that they are tiny enough for our cells to easily absorb.
Himalayan Pink Salt is used by holistic chefs, spas, health professionals, and individuals for its range of
nutritional and therapeutic properties. Pink salt may be used in the same manner as table salt for culinary
dishes and baking, but it is purer and higher in mineral content. Externally, pink salt can be used to
stimulate circulation, relax the body, lower blood pressure, sooth sore muscles, and remove toxins from
the body. Use Himalayan Pink Salt in bath salt recipes, body scrubs, aromatherapy, and for all types of
culinary and spa applications.

Beneficial Properties
Himalayan Pink Salt has a rich mineral content that includes over 84 minerals and trace elements such as:
calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron. This salt is recognized for its beautiful pink color, high
mineral content, and its therapeutic properties. Regular consumption of Himalayan Pink Salt provides
essential minerals, trace elements, balances electrolytes, supports proper nutrient absorption, eliminates
toxins, balances the bodys pH, normalizes blood pressure, and increases circulation and conductivity. It
can also assist with relief from arthritis, skin rashes, psoriasis, herpes, and flu and fever symptoms.

Table salt: The Health Destroyer


Many people are unaware that common table salt contains chemicals and even sugar! Salt is necessary
but can be dangerous if taken in this chemical form.
Table salt is composed of 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals like iodine and absorbents, and
sugar. Common salt is dried at more than 1,200 Fahrenheit, a process which zaps many of the natural
chemical structures.
The table and cooking salt found in most homes, restaurants, and processed foods is void of nutritional
value, lacking beneficial trace minerals. Processing salt turns it into sodium chloride, an unnatural salt the
human body actually sees as a toxic invader! The body cannot dispose of it in a natural, healthy way
which can lead to inflammation of the tissues, water retention and high blood pressure.
Processed salt crystals are also energetically dead, as their crystals are completely isolated from one
another. For the body to metabolize chemical table salt, it must waste tremendous amounts of energy to
keep the body at optimum fluid balance. This creates a burden on the elimination systems in the body.
Water is removed from other cells in attempt to neutralize the unnatural sodium chloride.
Pure salt is the foundation of life, and is key to creating all major elements of the body. Today's air, water,
and soil are increasingly compromised through pollution and toxins. It's crucial to maintain a natural
alkaline condition in order to metabolize and eliminate these substances, and to enjoy the health,
wellbeing, and longevity we are naturally meant to enjoy.
Maintaining a healthy acid-alkaline balance is crucial to wellbeing, supporting health, vitality, and
restoring the body's natural ability to heal. Living a natural lifestyle and eating a whole foods diet helps
reduce our exposure to toxins, revitalizes our natural energy and vitality, and is better for the planet.

However, busy schedules and stressful living often leave little time to prepare the most wholesome
foods. If you can relate to this, just remember that the body is mostly made of water and minerals, so
while choosing the best quality ingredients you can for food, make sure you are getting pure water and
pure minerals, in the form of Himalayan Salt, for baseline wellness.
HOW TO USE HIMALAYAN SALT ON VARIED CONCERNS:

Acne - Try a brine (fine grains salt) face wash, or the Himalayan Crystal Salt mixed with
fragrance free, natural soap as a face or body scrub.
Ear Infections- Use the brine as eardrops for ear infection.
Foot Fungus- Soothe your feet with a brine foot soak.
Motion Sickness - Try wearing salt in a pouch around your neck for its energetic balancing
properties.

What are the healing qualities of Himalayan salt?


1. Balance blood sugar levels naturally
One of the most vital and crucial benchmark of our body health is our blood sugar level. Having too low
or too high a blood sugar has its corresponding disadvantages and if the problem becomes extreme, it can
be very hard on our body. Chronic high blood sugar can result in developing a disease called diabetes.
However, for people who are already diabetic, ample intake of Himalayan salt will put the body into an
ideal state. This is due to the fact that Himalayan salt contains 84 minerals (Himalayan salt 84 minerals),
4 of which are known key factors in maintaining balanced blood sugar levels:
Chromium: Its main function is to turn carbohydrates into glucose. It also helps in the regulation and
production of insulin. Without chromium in the body insulin would not be able to work properly.
Vanadium: Vanadyl sulfate, a salt of the mineral vanadium (vanadium oxysulfate), has demonstrated
insulin-like effects on glucose metabolism in both animal and human trials. Clinical studies found a
significant decrease in insulin requirements by patients with both insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and
non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
Manganese: Maintains blood glucose levels in the normal range: its used in treating diabetes and
hypoghlycaemia.
Magnesium: Helps in the digestion of sugar, starches and fats and also stabilizes blood sugar levels.

2. Can be use as a eczema treatment or as a psoriasis and acne home remedy


When it comes to aging, acne or skin disorders its a tried and tested fact that ample intake of Himalayan
salt combined with purified or mineralized water (a solution called brine) will provide nutrients and
elements to the skin helping and preventing common skin conditions. It has also been touted as a
treatment for dry skin, insect bites and blisters.
In an effort to reverse these rather unpleasant effects, you may have purchased expensive creams and
lotions spending hundreds of dollars on treatments that deliver only empty promises, not results.
Himalayan salt is one of the most effective and inexpensive treatments for any skin infection. It works on
the skin by drawing out toxins. Also, numerous minerals found in the Himalayan salt also play an
important role in maintaining healthy skin.
Some of the minerals found in Himalayan Salt that promote skin health are:
Chromium: Fights acne and reduces skin infections.
Zinc: Aids in healing of the tissues and helps prevent scarring. It helps prevent acne by regulating the
activity of oil glands. Zinc also promotes a healthy immune system and the healing of wounds.
Iodine: Helps in healing skin infections by increasing oxygen consumption and the metabolic rate of the
skin.
Sulfur: Keeps skin clear and smooth. Dry scalps, rashes, eczema and acne are often due to deficiencies
of this mineral.

3. Use Himalayan salt as a digestive disorder treatment


Digestive disorders and/or indigestion commonly occurs after we eat or overeaten improper foods.
Himalayan salt serve as a digestion aid helping the food pass freely through the intestinal tract. We all
know that only a certain amount of food can be digested by our intestines at a given time.
Himalayan salt aids in digestion by stimulating the glands that are responsible for the production of
digestive juices and plays an essential role in all stages of digestion. Without salt, no digestion is possible.
The first glands to begin the digestion process are found in the mouththey are the salivary glands.
Saliva produced by these glands contains an enzyme (amylase) that begins to digest the starch from food
into smaller molecules.
The next set of digestive glands are found in the stomach lining. Himalayan salt stimulates hydrochloric
acid in the stomach as well as an enzyme that digests protein which assists in the further breakdown of
food in exchange for its nutrients. It also stimulates secretions of the intestinal tract and liver, aiding the
process of digestion.
Unlike table salt, the crystal salt from the Himalayas does not burden our body. Natural crystal salt
always has a balancing effect and does not contribute to high blood pressure like typical table salt,
making it an ideal addition to your everyday diet.

4. Treating muscle cramps


We have all experienced muscle cramps at one time or another during or after activities like running,
playing a sport or simply walking. Health studies show that muscle cramps materialize when a muscle is
overused and/or the body is lacking fluids and minerals like potassium, sodium, calcium, or magnesium.
One of the ways of ensuring proper fluid and mineral levels is by taking a daily dose of Himalayan SOLE
drink. Himalayan salt possesses more than eighty minerals and nutrients that charge our body with energy
and power and help prevent muscle cramps.
Himalayan Salt Balances Electrolytes: an imbalance of electrolytes can be one of the causes of muscle
cramps. Electrolytes are the material which help conduct electrical impulses responsible for muscle
contractions and nerve impulses to other cells. Without electrolytes, your bodys cells couldnt
communicate efficiently. Himalayan salt helps balance the electrolytes in our body by providing us with
potassium and sodium.
Himalayan Salt Helps with Mineral Deficiency: aside from balancing the electrolytes in your body, the
Himalayan salt provides you with two important minerals that are also essential for the prevention of
muscle cramps calcium and magnesium. Sufficient amounts of these and other minerals in your diet
can help you avoid muscle cramps.

5. The best supplement for vascular health


The cardiovascular system is considered to be the most important system in our body. This is why when
that system fails we lose our life. There are as many ways to enhance our cardiovascular health as there
are to ensure its failure. Three of the most crucial considerations include diet, body fat and stress levels
(that can lead to high blood pressure). All three contribute to the increased build up of plaque in the
arteries which can lead to clogged veins, hypertension, or a fatal heart attack.
For the most part, our daily diets include common table salt which is very toxic for the body. This type of
salt has been chemically bleached stripped, of all its nutrients through a process using heat as high as
1,200F. This process alters the sodium chloride making it toxic to the body.
Himalayan salt, contains all the precious traces of minerals that make salt good for us. It provides us with
a high source of calcium and magnesium, both of which have been shown to be beneficial in preventing
high blood pressure. This Promotes a strong and healthy cardiovascular system and overall good health.
