Salt is used more than any other seasoning in the world, yet what most people don’t know is that common table salt is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture absorbents and iodine, then dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. The excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt. What remains after typical salt is “chemically cleaned” is sodium chloride, which is an unnatural chemical form of salt that your body recognizes as something completely foreign. This form of salt is in almost every preserved food product that you eat; therefore, when you add more salt to your already salted food, your body receives more salt than it can possibly dispose of.
Sea salt is better than common table salt; however, it comes from a polluted ocean that has been used to dump garbage and harmful chemicals and toxins. This causes the natural elements of the salt to be disconnected from its crystalline form, and the vital minerals cannot be absorbed by the body without expending tremendous energy to utilize them.
In the case of Himalayan Crystal Rock Salt, three hundred million years ago, a vast primordial ocean covered the area that would become the Himalayan mountain range. The salt of that unpolluted ocean was preserved as large crystal cave formations that now yield the purest salt on earth.
Himalayan Crystal Salt is bio-energetically alive and contains the same 84 key trace minerals as our bodies, making it easily metabolized. The balanced crystalline structure reveals fine branching, no shadows or rough edges. The crystal is not isolated from the inherent mineral elements, but is connected to them in a harmonious state. This tells us that the energy content, in the form of minerals, is balanced and can be easily metabolized by the body. When taken as food, it will have a vital energetic effect on the body.
Himalayan Crystal Rock Salt products are quite remarkable. When heated, the lamps emit negative ions which cleanse the air and restore the ion balance, reducing static electricity. The salt detoxer lamp for feet and hands helps to remove toxins from the body and soothes aches and pains. The salt inhaler helps to heal sinus, bronchial passages and lungs (people who work in salt mines do not have health problems).
In addition to being a healthy and all natural table and cooking salt option, the rock salt is available as salt scrubs for smoother skin, bath salts and salt chunks to make sole (a saline solution). The sole has many uses, including eye wash, nasal rinse, mouth and throat rinse, vaginal douche, baths, compresses and more.
