Himalayan crystal salts formed by the evaporation of an ocean or sea that once occupied a region that encompassed the Himalayas. The water evaporated and the salt formed. Over the subsequent millions of years, the pressures built within the Earth’s crust and the rich deposits of crystal salts. Table salt is processed and cleaned from natural salt mined beneath the Earth. It has ceased to be the naturally occurring salt that the planet has stored in its depths, in an environment void of exposure to toxins and pollution. The special Himalayan Crystal Salts contain all 84 naturally occurring minerals for your body to survive.

Avoid Dehydration

Using table salt in your cooking or when eating your food, you are effectively robbing the cells of your body of the water they need to work properly and to survive. Table salt draws water from the cells to hydrate the sodium and chloride of the salt. Not only are you introducing this harmful substance into your body, but you are also adding other toxic substance in the form of moisture absorbers, sugar and pouring agents. The average American consumes between 0.4 and 0.6g of table salt everyday. The human body can only rid itself of between 0.25g each day. This results in a build up of excess table salt in your body. For each gram of table salt you have in excess in your body, your body needs 23g of cell water to solubilize it. Therefore, this inequity leads to dehydration in the cells of your body. This excess water in your tissues from salt intake contributes to cellulite, gall and bladder stones and can worsen gout, arthritis and rheumatism.
Himalayan Crystal Salt contains all the electrolytes needed by your body. With this said, Himalayan Crystal Salt is able to maintain the water content of the cells and to reduce the dehydration of the cells.

Aches and Pains

Prepare a concentrated solution of Himalayan Crystal Salt called sole. Use this solution as a treatment for easing the pain of ear infections, menstrual cramps and psoriasis. The sole can be warmed and used as a inhalation source to relieve the symptoms of chronic respiratory infection. Thirty minutes of breathing this solution will loosen the phlegm and pollution.

Balances Metabolic Functions

Himalayan Crystal Salt helps a vast array of conditions and processes within the body. According to an article in the Tucson Examiner, the Crystal Salt helps to regulate your sleep, promote bone strength, promote sinus health, generate cell hydroelectric energy within the cells, prevention of muscle cramps and stabilizes the blood sugar health. Many of these benefits make use of the sole to accomplish the remarkable results. Drinking or applying the sole to the skin can reduce the signs of aging.
