The Benefits of Himalayan Salt

Himalayan Crystal Salt

Himalayan crystal salt is far superior to traditional iodized salt. Himalayan salt is millions of years old and pure, untouched by many of the toxins and pollutants that pervade other forms of ocean salt.

Known in the Himalayas as “white gold,” Himalayan Crystal Salt contains the same 84 natural minerals and elements found in the human body. This form of salt has also been maturing over the past 250 million years under intense tectonic pressure, creating an environment of zero exposure to toxins and impurities.

Himalayan salt’s unique cellular structure allows it to store vibrational energy. Its minerals exist in a colloidal form, meaning that they are tiny enough for our cells to easily absorb.

Himalayan Crystal Salt: The Health Benefits

The health benefits of using natural Himalayan Crystal Salt may include:

  • Controlling the water levels within the body, regulating them for proper functioning
  • Promoting stable pH balance in the cells, including the brain.
  • Encouraging excellent blood sugar health
  • Aiding in reducing the common signs of aging
  • Promoting cellular hydroelectric energy creation
  • Promoting the increased absorption capacities of food elements within the intestinal tract
  • Aiding vascular health
  • Supporting healthy respiratory function
  • Lowering incidence of sinus problems, and promoting over-all sinus health
  • Reducing muscle cramps
  • Increasing bone strength
  • Naturally promoting healthy sleep patterns
  • Creating a healthy libido
  • In combination with water, it is necessary for blood pressure regulation
  • Prevents cellulite, when compared to table salt
  • Reduces chances of developing rheumatism, arthritis and gout, when compared to common chemically-treated salt
  • Reduces chances of developing kidney and gall bladder stones when compared to common chemically-treated salt

Table salt: “The Health Destroyer”

Many people are unaware that common table salt contains chemicals and even sugar! Salt is necessary but can be dangerous if taken in this chemical form.

Table salt is composed of 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals like iodine and absorbents, and sugar. Common salt is dried at more than 1,200° Fahrenheit, a process which zaps many of the natural chemical structures.

The table and cooking salt found in most homes, restaurants, and processed foods is void of nutritional value, lacking beneficial trace minerals. Processing salt turns it into sodium chloride, an unnatural salt the human body actually sees as a toxic invader! The body cannot dispose of it in a natural, healthy way which can lead to inflammation of the tissues, water retention and high blood pressure.

Processed salt crystals are also energetically dead, as their crystals are completely isolated from one another. For the body to metabolize chemical table salt, it must waste tremendous amounts of energy to keep the body at optimum fluid balance. This creates a burden on the elimination systems in the body. Water is removed from other cells in attempt to neutralize the unnatural sodium chloride.

Studies show that for each gram of table salt your system cannot process, your body will use over twenty times the amount of cellular water to neutralize the sodium chloride in chemically-treated salt. This can lead to cellulite, rheumatism, arthritis, gout, as well as kidney and gallbladder stones. The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium chloride a day, the issue is serious and needs to be adressed.

Choosing to use Himalayan Salt as an alternative can have a big impact on your total health and well-being. I only use and recommend Original Himalayan Crystal Salt.

    Himalayan Salt is over 98% sodium chloride. Most of the rest is an inert mineral called gypsum. Other minerals are present in minuscule amounts. It is no better or worse for you than any other salt sold, just way more expensive. Another scam separating the naive from their money.

    Your statement above “Processing salt turns it into sodium chloride, an unnatural salt the human body actually sees as a toxic invader!”

    Extract from Wiklpedia “In 2003 the Bavarian consumer protection agency Bayerisches Landesamt für Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit analyzed 15 specimens of Himalaya salt sold in Germany and could detect at least ten different minerals, in addition to sodium chloride (98%)”.
    I always thought Salt was Sodium Chloride (NACL) a natuaral element. How can your Sodium Chloride be different from the one mentioned above?

    I have friends that are making a water solution with this pink salt and drinking it each day to add minerals and help with dehydration. At the same time I am reading more and more about the dangers of too much sodium. Can someone please explain why what they are doing will not contribute to having too much sodium (if that’s true)?

  • Kcgriefs

    drinking salt in water . . will that add to your sodium levels? I am confused about sodium intake.

    Did you even read the article? It is not the same. And it is not a scam. I don’t pay lots for the stuff. I am getting it in a grinder at one of the “big box stores” for a very reasonable price. I was using kosher salt before (also reasonable) but quit because of the thing they add to it to make it “flow” which contains cyanide which is released when exposed to acid. I have also used a salt inhaler when sick with excellent results. I did my own research but this article IS correct. This guy is not telling you this to sell it to you, he is telling you this because it is true. We all have to make our own decisions. Mine will be to use natural salts and not those processed and then laced with chemicals in order to have better “quality”.

  • Rob K,

    This article is a farce, and the author knows nothing about chemistry. ALL salt dissociates into its ions when added to water. It is hard to believe that folks actually believe some of this stuff, but scientific ignorance knows no bounds

    Rob,
    What got me interested was the claim it lowers blood sugars.
    and do not have accurate researc Dada so sometime stumble on these things.
    Bottom line,
    Does it help lower blood sugars?
    Thx

    You’ve just killed my buzz with that dose of scientific reality. I was allowing myself to be lulled into thinking this could be the answer to my low salt diet problems. Hard to disagree with the view that it’s snake oil. I’ll be leaving that pink salt on the shelf along with the homeopathic remedies so….

  • E.J.S.

    This is all an absolute farce. gram for gram sea salt has the exact same amount of sodium as “table salt.” you claim “table salt” is bad because it is an unnatural chemical “sodium chloride” – that is what SEA SALT is composed of as well. Both are structurally the same compound – sodium chloride. The fact that you claim there is a difference in their composition reveals you are a liar and a FRAUD.

    Sea salt may contain traces of calcium, potassium, and magnesium sulfates – but the fact that you claim it holds some “special benefit” because it is “ancient” is just pure fabrication. Shame on you.

    Hi Eric, Thanks for reading. I’m sorry this article made you upset. You certainly have the right to prefer table salt.
