By being harvested from centuries-old Himalayan deposits, the pink salt is totally free of toxins and any kind of pollutants. Many consider this the purest salt in the world.
Thanks to the great concentration of minerals present in this salt, its coloration is pink. All this brings several beneficial results to the body.
Autoimmune diseases are on the rise, and people are becoming more susceptible to diseases.
Our natural ability to detoxify the body from an excessively acidic condition of blood and tissues is getting lower. When this happens, a proliferation of yeasts, fungi, bacteria, and viruses releases their wastes into the cellular fluid, distributing them throughout the body, creating even more acidification, thus generating diseases.
Maintaining a healthy acid-alkaline balance is critical to overall well-being and health, providing vitality and restoring the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Living a natural life and having a diet rich in alkaline foods, helps reduce our exposure to toxins, and revitalizes our natural energy.
Just remember that the body is mainly composed of water and mineral salts, so when choosing the best quality ingredients you can for food, make sure you are getting pure water and pure minerals.
And it’s about an ingredient rich in pure minerals, which I’m going to talk about today:
The Himalayan Rose Salt
The Himalayan Rose Salt is considered one of the purest salts in the world, coming from the clean rivers and lakes of the Himalayan mountains. It was originally formed by deposits of marine fossils more than 250 million years ago.
This rare and extraordinary salt has been a valuable commodity for centuries.
Historically the people of the Himalayas used this salt to preserve fish and meat over a year, and each spring they transported the salt to the valleys of Nepal in order to sell and exchange salt with other goods.
The Rose Salt is still extracted from the mines with the hands, according to the long tradition, and without the use of any mechanical devices or techniques of an explosion. After being selected, the salt is then crushed, hand washed, and sun-dried.
Himalayan salts are rosy or reddish, due to the pink algae that live in the waters from which they are harvested.
This salt is different from any other salt. It is unique in its beauty, and very rich in mineral content, including more than 84 mineral salts, among them calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, and iron.
This salt is immune to electromagnetic fields and contains no environmental pollutants.
Himalayan salts are also known for their healing properties.
They serve as effective treatment for common skin conditions such as dry skin, psoriasis, and acne.
Himalayan Salt can also be used to relieve insect bites, cure blisters, and even treat diseases that affect joints such as arthritis.
If you suffer from premenstrual symptoms, a good hot bath with Himalayan salts will calm your colic and relieve the pressure and swelling associated with excess water retention.

Suggested use: In the bath: Dissolve a handful in a hot tub, with natural oils like almond oil, grape seed oil, sesame oil or avocado oil. You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oils. NOTE: Due to its unique composition of mineral salts, the Himalayan Rose Salt may take a little longer to dissolve in the water.
When bathing with Himalayan salt, do not save salt – the higher the concentration of Himalayan salt in the water, the more beneficial your bath will be.
If you are in the bath, stay for about 30 minutes. When you are finished bathing with Himalayan salt, do not rinse. Go straight from the tub to the towel.
