HIMALAYAN SALT AND THE BENEFITS
Himalayan salt comes directly from the foothills of northern Pakistan and it is considered to be one of the purest natural mineral substances on our planet, with its high mineral and trace element count. Over 200 million years ago, the shallow sea evaporated leaving behind salt beds which were covered by lava, which in turn preserved the salt, protecting it from modern day pollution and keeping it free from impurities. As the leading Himalayan salt supplier in the world, we are able to provide exclusive, high quality, handmade merchandise obtained from the salt mines of the Himalayan Mountains.
Benefits
In recent years Himalayan Salt has become increasingly popular, this popularity can be attributed to a number of factors, and it is not difficult to see why. It is praised worldwide by many health professionals, chefs and health conscious individuals. The healthy negative ions produced by Himalayan Salt counter balance positive ions in the atmosphere, cleansing the air of impurities and reducing the effects of electromagnetic radiation caused by many of our day to day electronic devices. When dissolved in water Himalayan Salts deliver many healing benefits to the body:
- As a powerful detoxifier, helping to draw toxins out of the skin
- Helping to re-mineralize the skin through absorption
- They can assist in balancing the body’s natural pH levels due to the 84 essential minerals they contain
- Improved hydration due to its trace mineral content
- The chemical composition of Himalayan Salt acts as a natural deodoriser destroying odour causing bacteria that live on the skin

In addition to all of this it has been shown that inhaling salty air, such as that found in a sauna made with salt bricks, can be very beneficial for people suffering from respiratory issues. The anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties of the salt help to detox and purify the lungs and the sinuses reducing asthma symptoms and allergies. As a natural anti-bacterial it is also widely used in Ayurveda healing treatments.
