15 Benefits of Himalayan Pink Salt: Dump the White Stuff

15 Benefits of Himalayan Pink Salt: Dump the White Stuff

Pink Salt

Himalayan Pink Salt contains 84 minerals, macrominerals, and trace minerals.

Wanna hear something crazy? I know you do. These are the same 84 minerals and trace minerals that your body needs to function properly.

For years we’ve all heard about how bad salt is for us, right? Well, Himalayan Pink Salt is good for you. I’m serious, folks. The salt that is bad for you is refined table salt. Unfortunately, even sea salt is becoming more and more refined. When salt is refined, everything that can possibly be beneficial to you and your health is taken away from it. Doesn't make much sense, does it? I mean, what's the point? Why take something that could actually be beneficial to you and purposely go through the trouble of making it bad for you? 

Here's why Himalayan Pink Salt is the new health craze. Himalayan Pink Salt has never been exposed to impurities or toxins of any kind. Not only has it been buried underneath the Himalayan Mountains and has been completely protected from the elements for eons, but nothing has been taken away from it and nothing has been added to it. 

It is 100% pure. 

Go figure, if we humans don’t go messing with what nature already provides for us, it can actually be beneficial to us. Some have claimed using pink salt is like sprinkling a little bit of magic on every plate of food.

Himalayan Salt

Himalayan Pink Salt is also used externally by holistic therapists and spas. Pink salt is popular in forms of face masks, body scrubs, foot scrubs, soaps, bath salts, and other topical products. Himalayan salts have many therapeutic properties and have been used to treat many ailments including acne and acne scars.

Himalayan salt has been buried deep in the Himalayan mountains for 250 million years. It is not refined, nor is it stripped of anything, or mixed with additives. It is 100% natural.

It is the purest salt on the planet and actually brings with it many health benefits.

15 Top Benefits of Himalayan Pink Salt

  1. Lowers Blood Pressure. Yup, I know, you’re used to hearing that salt raises blood pressure. Too much refined salt can definitely be harmful but Himalayan Pink Salt has actually been proven to stabilize AND help reduce blood pressure.

    Important:

    Make sure to talk with your doctor if you plan on using a lot of pink salt. Pink salt can be so effective in lowering blood pressure in some people, that if you are also taking BP medicine, your BP pressure could possibly go too low.

    • You should always consult with your doctor before changing any part of your nutritional diet or fitness regimen.

  2. Nausea Relief. Natural Himalayan salt products have been shown to provide nausea relief from morning sickness and chemo treatment.

  3. Prevents Muscle Cramps. This is very useful for anyone who suffers from muscle cramps (like me).

  4. Improves Lung Function and Helps Asthma Symptoms. Himalayan salt has been used to naturally help improve breathing and lung function for centuries amongst natural healers. Today there are many Himalayan salt products to help improve our lungs.

  5. Improves Allergy and Sinus Symptoms. For people who don’t respond well to prescription allergy medicine, there are many Himalayan pink salt natural products to try.

  6. Increases Libido. Come on, what’s not totally awesome about that?!

  7. Reduces Acid Reflux and Balances pH Levels

  8. Helps Metabolism Run Swift and Smoothly

  9. Strengthens Bones

  10. Improves Circulation and Overall Vascular Health

  11. Helps the Intestines Absorb More Nutrients

  12. Natural Detox Agent. Pink salt removes toxins and heavy metals from the body.

  13. Prevents Goiters

  14. Reduces the Signs of Aging. Himalayan salt is used in many beauty products because of its powerful anti-aging properties.

  15. Treats and Prevents Acne and Other Skin Conditions

 

Himalayan Pink Salt has also been shown to help with many other ailments such as ear infections, headaches, foot fungus, motion sickness, menstrual cramps, sore throats, digestive issues, and many more. I encourage you to do your own research and find out why you should dump the white salt and start using the pink stuff.

Here’s How Other Salts Add Up

Table Salt

Forget about it. This salt has been stripped of all of it’s minerals and even it’s iodine. Anything and everything that is beneficial is taken out of it. You want to know how? It’s cleaned with bleach. Yup, you heard me. It is chemically washed with bleach and is heated at very high temps.

Then if the iodine is put back into it (it often isn’t), it is most likely a synthetic iodine. Yes, you read that right. They take the real iodine out of it… and then put synthetic iodine into it. Ugh. Anytime I hear synthetic, I just want to scream. Our bodies are not meant to ingest synthetic properties. We are human beings, not garbage cans. Our bodies cannot process synthetic materials.

Sea Salt: 

Sea salt is really not that much better than table salt. It is the lesser of the two evils, but it’s still not the best choice. Unfortunately, sea salt is becoming more and more processed. But that isn’t even my own personal biggest concern. I just can’t get past the fact that every year our seas are becoming more and more polluted. Not just with the continued oil spills and garbage dumping, but also the nuclear waste that finds it’s way into our waters. Now that REALLY scares me. I couldn’t even process the whole Fukushima nuclear disaster. Over 800 tons of radioactive material poured into the Pacific Ocean. My God, I don’t want to eat anything that comes from the Pacific Ocean… like ever.

Where Do You Get Himalayan Pink Salt?

Fortunately, you can get Himalayan Pink Salt almost anywhere nowadays. It used to be a lot harder to find and a lot more expensive, but today it is available almost everywhere and very affordable. Most of the larger grocery chains carry it and of course the health stores, but they will be more expensive in these types of stores. Your best bet at getting the cheapest price is to either look at discount stores such as Marshall’s, T.J. Maxx, and Home Goods or order on Amazon here. You can even find pink salt on the shelves at Hell-Mart and Target. You will most likely find pink salt in the form of a salt grinder but sometimes you’ll get lucky and find it in the fine granulated form. If you see the granulated in a store, snatch it up because sometimes it's harder to find than the course salt. 

The fine salt is great for swapping out your regular table salt. Just fill up your shaker with the pink stuff and

BAM! 

You're instantly healthier!

Fine Pink Salt

Make the switch and do something good for your health. If you’re going to use salt, why not use the stuff that’s actually good for you?
