LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR HIMALAYAN SALT
What is Himalayan Salt and why is it so good?
Salt is essential for life - we cannot live without it.
However, most people simply don't realize that there are enormous differences between the standard, refined table and cooking salt that most are used to using and natural, health-promoting salt.
Natural Himalayan salt comes from a low-lying region in the first foothills of the Himalayas, in the northwest of Pakistan. The sea covering this region evaporated over 250 million years ago due to climatic changes and these, combined with the enormous pressure accompanying the formation of the Himalayan mountain range, provoked the formation of salty, crystalline structures comparable to those of precious stones.
Himalayan salt is over 250 million years old and is by far the purest salt available on Earth.

GET SALT AS NATURE INTENDED IT
Crystal salt from the Himalayas does not burden your body as other salts do. Natural crystal salt always promotes a healthy balance and does not contribute to high blood pressure as does typical table salt.
With chemical dumping and toxic oil spills polluting the oceans at an alarming rate, most of today's sea salt is not nearly as pure as it used to be either. Himalayan crystal salt is pure salt that is mined and washed by hand - with zero environmental pollutants.
When it comes to the power of natural salt, nothing compares to Himalayan crystal salt.
Here's why:
• It is the highest grade of natural salt.
• It is mined by hand and hand-washed.
• Crystal salt is immune to electromagnetic fields
• Crystal salt contains no environmental pollutants.
• There is no limited shelf life and no need for silica packets to prevent clumping.

Himalayan Salt comes in many forms
After the salt is mined, it is either hand-cut to form natural or shaped salt lamps and tealights or ground down to varying consistencies for use in a variety of bath salts, edible salts, salt scrubs and massage stones. It is also used to make “sole” (so-lay), a salt solution that can be diluted and drunk to enhance bodily functions (one teaspoon of Sole to one glass of natural spring or filtered water and drunk every morning on an empty stomach).
Benefits of drinking sole
• Can harmonize the alkaline/acidity balance in the body and normalize blood pressure.
• Can dissolve and eliminate sediments which lead to kidney and gall bladder stones and
various forms of rheumatism like arthritis.
• Can lower cravings and addictive desires.
• Can help with skin diseases by cleansing from the inside out.

Himalayan Salt Lamps and TeaLights
If you’ve ever experienced that your feeling of well-being is intensified in pure mountain air or at the seashore, or even after a thunderstorm - this is due to the higher concentration of negative ions in these surroundings. Himalayan salt lamps and tealights produce these healthy negative ions when heated by an internal low wattage bulb or candle.
The atomic structure of crystal salt contains more negative chloride ions than positive sodium ions which result in the emission of negative ions during the natural ionization process. Negative ions become dust collectors, attaching themselves to positively charged dust particles and cigarette smoke, purifying indoor air from dust, bacteria and pollutants.
Himalayan salt lamps are hygroscopic - they absorb moisture from the air. Lamps should be turned on at all times to remain warm and moisture-free.
Salt lamps and tealight holders come in a range of sizes, colours and shapes and each piece is unique.

Himalayan salt baths
Besides using this salt on your food and to cook with and in lamps and tealights, it has multiple other exciting benefits as well.
Himalayan salt has an amazingly relaxing and cleansing effect when added to your bath.
To get the full benefits of a natural crystal salt bath, the right salt concentration is critical. The salt concentration should be at least the same as that of your body fluids (approximately 1%).
The formula for a 1% solution is about 10 grams of salt per litre of water.
• Your bath water should be approximately 37° Celsius (97° Fahrenheit).
• Do not use any bath additives, soaps, or oils.
• Your bath should last 20 to 30 minutes.
• Do not shower off, simply dry off with a towel.
• After your bath, you should rest for at least 30 minutes.
WARNING: While brine baths have a positive effect, they are also demanding on your circulatory system. If you suffer from weak or poor heart circulation, consult your doctor first.
