Himalayan salt is a rock salt found in Pakistan’s Punjab district. Extracted from the Himalayan foothills, it has hundreds of nutrients that give it pinkish tint color.
As of now, Pink Salt is considered one of the purest salt available. It comes in a variety of ways, from exfoliating bath salts to cooking brines and salt lamps.
Pink Salt is generally not too different from traditional iodized salt.
Pink salt usually gets its unique look from trace amounts of minerals, including potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Four Ways to receive benefits from Pink Salts :
Helps in Body Detoxication: As pink salt contains potassium, calcium, and iron. Both minerals help in the detoxification of the body and further helps in bacteria elimination.
Reduce Blood Pressure: As sea salt is finely refined, and contain less amount of minerals and contain more sodium than Himalayan salt, by replacing sea salt with Himalayan salt the body processes it easily and does not need as much water to flush out the extra sodium as it does if you had used table salt.
Himalayan salt is especially rich in iodine, which food manufacturers artificially bind to table salt during processing. Himalayan salt contains natural iodine, which is necessary for assisting the body to create an electrolyte equilibrium, assisting the intestines in absorbing nutrients, and reducing blood pressure.
Improves digestion: The high mineral content of Himalayan salt aids in the pH balance of your body. Our bodies have greater immunity and are better able to store and absorb food while our pH levels are healthy.
Improves respiratory health: As per the claim of many people, salt therapy which requires inhaling salt-infused air, can help with lung problems like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.
There’s no reason not to use Himalayan pink salt, but don’t overdo your intake thinking you’ll benefit from much higher levels of minerals and vitamins.
If you choose to skip the ingredients used in standard table salt, pink Himalayan salt is an excellent natural substitute.
