The healthier pink salt

Have you noticed how over the last few years the popularity of Himalayan Rock Salt has increased? I for one was totally oblivious to it's existence up until then.  So let's learn a bit more about it;

Hundreds of millions of years ago, crystallised sea salt beds from an ancient sea were covered in lava and protected from any form of pollution or degradation.  Over millions of years, this sea bed was raised high into the sky through plate tectonics forming the mountain range of the Himalaya we know today.  This pink salt was discovered buried deep in the mountains and is considered to be the purest form of salt on the planet.  The unique colouring of the salt is due to it's rich mineral and energy rich iron content.


What are the benefits of the salt?  Since it was formed from a natural process, like the nutrients in fruit and veg, the nutrients in pink salt work  in tandem with, and, complement each other.

Natural salts are rich in iodine (essential for thyroid health) meaning artificial additives are not required.

The salt grains are larger than refined salt grains, meaning the components are less compressed which results in there being less sodium per serving compared with the refined variety.

Pink salt is packed with 80+ minerals & elements, and include sulphate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, bromide, borate, strontium & fluoride

Because of these minerals, Himalayan pink salt can create a balance of the electrolytes in the body, increase hydration, regulate water content both within and outside the cells of the body.  In addition it rebalances the ph of the body between acid and alkaline and can help with acid reflux.  The salt prevents muscle cramping, aids the metabolism, strengthens bones, lowers blood pressure, helps the intestines absorb nutrients, improves circulation and helps the body remove toxins.

So what is wrong with traditional table salt in comparison?  First off it is stripped of all its minerals, is chemically cleaned, bleached and heated to an unnecessary  high temperature.  Also it is treated with an anti-caking agent which prevents it from dissolving in our bodies, instead leading to a build up within our organs and tissues causing potential health issues.  Finally the iodine that is added to table salt is usually synthetic which can be difficult for the body to process.

As well as using Himalayan Salt in food and drinks, it can be used in the bath to soothe tired muscles, pink salt rocks are retailed as decorative ornaments for candles and lamps, the latter being a great air purification method.
