Himalayan Crystal Salt Information

Himalayan Crystal Salt is mined by hand from deep below the famous mountain range. Formed and refined by millions of years of geological pressure it is easily broken down and absorbed by the body and contains a staggering 84 minerals and trace elements that our body need to maintain our health.
 
Himalayan crystal salts are different to common table salt, which is linked to heart problems, high blood pressure and fluid retention. Table salt is treated so it loses its trace minerals to become pure sodium chloride and also has anti-caking agents added to decrease its moisture absorption properties. Like Himalayan crystal salts, sea salt is also natural but it, however, is subject to many pollutants. Himalayan salt is easily absorbed into the body and doesn’t leave deposits in organs and tissues that lead to illness and diseases.
 

Himalayan Crystal Salt (for culinary use):

  • Research shows the hidden health benefits that Himalayan salt contains.
     
  • with its high nutritional value, Himalayan salt has life generating power for both the body and the nervous system, and is becoming more frequently used by health professionals to treat a wide range of health issues.
     
  • The distinctive rose pink colour of the Himalayan Salt comes from the high mineral content of the salt, such as iron, potassium and magnesium, all of which are vital for maintaining health.
     
  • Himalayan Salt is the purest, highest grade salt available, formed for over 250 million years without exposure to pollution.
     
  • Himalayan crystal salt is a full-spectrum salt. Instead of just getting sodium and chloride, you’re getting a full spectrum of trace minerals as well.
     
  • We need salt - It is essential for maintaining healthy functioning of the cells, nerve conduction, digestion, absorption and elimination of waste products.
     
  • It also helps to balance the body’s pH levels, and can lead to significant positive changes to respiratory, circulatory and nervous system functions amongst others.

Himalayan Salt has many other functions than just regulating the water content of the body.

Some of the ways that Himalayan Crystal salt improves our health include:

1.   It stabilises irregular heart-beats and regulates blood pressure
2.   It extracts excess acidity from cells especially brain cells
3.   It balances blood sugar levels (good for diabetics)
4.   It helps with the absorption of food particles in the intestinal tract
5.   It promotes the clearance of mucus and phlegm from lungs (especially useful for asthma and cystic fibrosis sufferers)
6.   It clears up catarrh and congestion of sinuses
7.   Himalayan Salt is a strong natural antihistamine;
8.   It is essential in preventing muscle cramps
9.   It is vital for firm bone structure (helps with osteoporosis)
10. It is iImportant in sleep regulation
11. It helps prevent gout and gouty arthritis
12. It can stop dry coughs when placed on the tongue
13. It reduces varicose veins on legs and thighs
14.  It reduces our production of saliva which can be the cause of increased bulk on the chin, cheeks and neck

Himalayan Crystal salt contains 84 minerals and trace elements needed by the body.  Ordinary supermarket table salt has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additive elements such as aluminium silicate to keep it powdery and porous. Aluminium is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer’s disease.
 
27 % of the body’s salt is in the bones. Osteoporosis results when the body needs more salt and takes it from the body. Bones are 22% water. Is it not obvious what happens to the bones when we’re deficient in salt or water or both.
