This version of the salt has been finely ground so you can easily sprinkle it or pour it onto your food and into your drinks

Himalayan Crystal Salt originates from the primal seas of millions of years ago, where life began. Dried by the sun at a time where pollution did not exist, Himalayan Crystal Salt is totally pure and contains every mineral and trace element found in the human body.

Despite what we have been led to believe, salt is as equally as important to the human body as water. As long as you are drinking enough water, salt is absolutely essential for the body to generate hydroelectric energy, maintain good blood chemistry, balance the correct amount of water in our blood and cells, aid digestion and allow our nervous system and muscles to function normally. Without salt you would not be able to think nor act. Obviously, we are not talking about refined table salt which is nothing more than a white poison.

The mineral particles in crystal salt are totally organic and so tiny that they are easily metabolised for the bio-chemical functioning of human cells. Because of this, Himalayan crystal salt is one of nature’s most effective natural remedies. The best way to experience the healing and cleansing properties of salt is to drink sole (solay). Sole is a 1% water/salt solution (the same as our blood, tears and the ocean). But crystal salt can also be sprinkled over food or directly added to water to aid re-hydration.

Crystal salt helps to restore and balance the bodies energy, rebalance acid-alkaline levels, dissolve and releases crystallised deposits (the cause of rheumatic disease, kidney and gallbladder stones), helps breakdown heavy metals such as mercury from dental fillings and cadium from smoking and everyday pollution, normalises blood pressure, cleans the intestines, heals skin diseases, respiratory ailments and helps to weaken addictions.

Crystals salts are extremely versatile and can also be used to flush the sinuses to prevent runny and congested noses and sinus infections, used as an eye bath to restore moisture to dry eyes, for inhalations to treat respiratory disorders such as bronchitis, as a cleansing bath that has the same detoxifying effect as a three day fast, and for beauty masks and wraps to treat skin irritations, tissue injuries, joint problems, cellulite and for regenerating and tightening the skin.


Any truth in that ? Or just marketing ? What do peopel think of it ?
