Pure Unprocessed Himalayan Crystal Salt

Salt is one of the most common ingredients in our food, yet, we never really pause to think about it or pick the best type to use.

Is it because we think there is no choice, except in the different brands?

People all across Europe and America have been making a healthier choice for sometime now. They are choosing Himalayan Crystal Salt. This is the salt consumed by the natives of the Himalayas for centuries. Himalayan Crystal Salt is millions of years old and its health enhancing properties have been inscribed by Charak, (the father of Ancient Indian herbal medicine, 2000 BC). It is quite distinct from refined sea-salt, which we use regularly.

Himalayan Crystal Salt is completely chemical free. Pure, natural Himalayan Crystal Salt has been subjected to enormous pressure over millions of years. The temperature & pressure are responsible for creating the salt crystals. The higher the amount of pressure, the more superior the crystalline structure. Whereas refined sea salt is man-made. A great percentage of sea salt today is processed, unlike Himalayan Crystal Salt: which is 100% natural pure and hand mined.

With the ocean becoming increasingly polluted, sea salt is far from ideal these days. This is proven by many government warnings about the increase levels of mercury and other pollutants in our oceans.

Regular table salt is over 98% sodium chloride and the difference comes from the mineral balance of the remaining 2 percent. Himalayan Crystal Salt contains up to 84 trace minerals, including those essential for good health and vitality e.g. natural fluoride, natural iodine, natural calcium etc.

Himalayan Crystal Salt provides the body with essential minerals and replenishes vital electrolytes. The salt can harmonize the alkaline/acidity balance in the body and normalize blood pressure. It can even help with skin disorders such as acne and eczema by cleansing from the inside out.

Himalayan Crystal Salt history

Life evolved from the sea - a mix of water, salt mineral nutrients and the sun’s energy gave rise to single cells containing life. Around 250 million years ago, a large salt lake at the foothills of the Himalayas evaporated and was protected by geology under the earth’s surface in its pristine, pre-pollution state. With millions of years, pressure under the earth, the dried salt formed unique, natural crystal structures that are not found in any other salt.

For centuries, this Himalayan Crystal Salt with its mineral nutrients was used by many cultures. It was taken by ancient royalty and was more valuable than gold. Many enduring old trade routes of the world followed the salt supply. Salt's valuable antibacterial qualities meant fresh food could be preserved for long voyages not previously possible. Later, Roman soldiers were paid in salt (salary). Himalayan Crystal Salt is the original hand-mined, hand-selected Himalayan salt from the same foothills in Pakistan, the finest quality, purest, pink, unrefined Himalayan Crystal Salt available.

Keep adding more salt crystals until the salt crystals do not dissolve any more. This brine solution is now saturated and cannot dissolve anymore salt. This brine solution is absolutely sterile and germ-free. It can therefore be stored for years in a closed glass container without changing or decomposing
