BENEFITS OF HIMALAYAN SALT
Himalayan Salt Lamps
It was discovered that miners who
work deep below the earth's surface in the Himalayan salt mines rarely suffer
from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory ailments. This is because they
spend their days in an environment saturated with negative ions, which
Himalayan salt releases naturally. The air we breath everyday is filled with
negative and positive ions and, in order to maintain a healthy living
atmosphere, these negative and positive ions must remain in balance.
Unfortunately, many of the conveniences of modern life, such as our electronic
devices and heating and cooling systems, produce an abundance of positive ions
which throw the air we breath completely out of balance. That, in turn, can
contribute to the development of allergies, asthma, stress, insomnia and other
sleep disorders, sinus and migraine headaches, and a host of other health
problems for many individuals.
As the world's foremost natural
air ionizer and purifier, Himalayan salt serves as a corrective balance against
the flood of toxins that often permeates the air we breath. You can help
counter the undesirable health effects of the electronic devices that permeate
every aspect of our daily lives, reducing the stress on your body and purifying
the air you breathe with the extraordinary healing properties of Himalayan Salt
Lamps.
Many lavish spas around the world
have constructed Himalayan salt caves that mimic the Himalayan salt mines, and
clients pay hundreds of dollars to undergo various Himalayan salt therapies at
these facilities. While these types of facilities are wonderful and definitely
worth experiencing, most of us do not have the time or the financial ability to
visit a spa for therapy of this kind on a regular basis. This is why the
popularity and desirability of Himalayan Salt Lamps has skyrocketed!
A Himalayan salt lamp, is a chunk
of salt (Himalayan salt crystal) that has been mined and attached to a sturdy
base made of wood or some other durable material. These Salt Lamps range in
size from 3 lbs, to 60 lbs. or more, and are often commonly referred to as
Himalayan salt crystal lamps or Himalayan crystal Salt Lamps. The salt lamp is
drilled out at the center of the base underneath the lamp, to provide a space
for a light source to be introduced. Adding a lightbulb inside a Himalayan salt
lamp warms the salt from within and facilitates the release of negative ions
from the Himalayan salt into the atmosphere. By utilizing negative
ion-generating Himalayan Salt Lamps in your home, office, or anywhere else you
spend time in your daily life, you can help alleviate symptoms caused by
allergies, asthma, and a host of other conditions. Negative ions have been
shown to assist in alleviating common indoor pollutants such as dust and
mildew, as well as electromagnetic fields from electronic devices.
In addition, Himalayan Salt Lamps
are aesthetically pleasing to look at and create an environment filled with
positive energy. Many people find that placing several salt lamps in a
particular room or space where they spend time lends an even greater benefit,
both in terms of physical health and mood enhancement. At
naturalrocksaltlamps.blogspot.com/p/salt-lamps.html, our Himalayan Salt Lamps
come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and designs to accommodate any size
room you wish to ionize – no matter how small or large!
Edible Himalayan Salt
There are many different
varieties of salt on the market. However, only one stands above the rest -
Himalayan salt!
Traditional table salt that one
would typically find in most supermarkets and grocery stores is composed of
roughly 97% sodium chloride. The other 3% consists of various chemicals
designed to prevent caking (clumping together) and improve the flow of the salt
when poured or shaken. The salt is then bleached and processed under extreme
heat which changes the chemical structure of the salt and destroys the
essential trace minerals that exist in the salt's natural, raw state.
And therein lies the problem! The
human body needs salt because of its rich mineral content which has now been
destroyed and removed as a result of all of the chemical processing. As if that
weren't bad enough, many commercial salt processors then treat the salt with
hazardous substances like aluminum hydroxide, which is used to prevent the
build up of moisture.
All this unnecessary processing
takes away the positive benefits and "life energy" of salt for the
human body and leaves the consumer with an un-natural mixture of sodium
chloride and chemical additives that is extremely difficult for the human body
to break down and metabolize. The body must sacrifice tremendous amounts of
energy and cellular water in order to neutralize the damaging effects of the
salt. The inability of the body to effectively neutralize these toxic chemicals
and substances can result in numerous conditions such as cellulite buildup in
undesirable areas, arthritis, gout, kidney and gall bladder stones, and
elevated blood pressure.
As a result of all this, many
consumers have turned to other types of salt like "sea salt" for
their everyday salt consumption. While it is true that sea salts usually have a
few additional minerals not found in regular table salt, it is also sadly the
reality that far too many of our oceans and lakes are polluted with toxic
poisons like mercury, PCBs, and dioxin. In addition, over 85% of all sea salt
processors are using refining processes similar to those outlined above in
their production of the salt that they sell to consumers. As a result, sea salt
may not be much better health wise than traditional table salt.
Himalayan salt - often referred
to as Himalayan pink salt, Himalayan crystal salt, or Himalayan rock salt -
naturally contains an incredible selection of 84 different minerals and trace
elements essential to the human body for optimal health and vitality. Himalayan
salt contains no chemical additives and is not processed in any way, making it
by far the top choice among the various types of salt available on the market.
Himalayan salt is mined from deep
below the surface of the earth, at depths of a mile or more underground. The
rich mineral content of Himalayan salt gives it a unique and vibrant pink
color, thus it is sometimes referred to simply as "pink salt."
Himalayan salt is not degraded in any way through chemical processing,
bleaching, or anything of the sort. Nothing is added! Nothing is taken away!
Use it in all of your recipes just like you would use traditional table salt –
your body will be happy you did! It is also excellent for use in an oral rinse
for sore throats, tooth aches, and the like.
It is theorized that, unlike with
other salts,Himalayan salt does not elevate blood pressure and has the ability
to regulate fluid balance and naturally stabilize blood pressure at a healthy
level for the human body as a result of its rich mineral content (However, if
you have any such health issues, it is of course always recommended that you
discuss your particular situation with your health care provider.)
Himalayan salt has an endless
supply of positive health benefits, including: boosting energy levels;
increasing the absorption of food; promoting vascular, respiratory, and sinus
health; decreasing swelling of the mucus membranes as a result of allergies,
asthma, or other environmental pollutants; preventing muscle cramps; promoting
bone health and strength; regulating healthy sleep patterns and mood;
supporting a healthy libido; enhancing overall immune system function;
stabilizing heart rate and blood pressure; and reducing excess acidity and
balancing pH in the body's cells (which, as most researchers know, is extremely
important because most diseases and illnesses thrive in an acidic state and
cease to exist in an alkaline state).
Himalayan salt can be consumed in
a number of ways, the most basic of which is to season and enhance raw or
cooked foods.Himalayan salt can be used in the form of a solay solution,
whereby a handful of Himalayan salt rocks are placed in a jar of cold water and
refrigerated for at least 24 hours, creating a Himalayan salt solution jam
packed with minerals once the rocks have fully dissolved. A spoonful of the
solution is then taken daily. Himalayan salt can also be inhaled orally using
the Himalayan salt Air Inhaler for relief of symptoms associated with allergies
and asthma. As a natural anti-histamine, Himalayan salt can aid in decreasing
the swelling and thickness caused by excessive mucus secretions in the lungs
and throat. This can often be achieved by drinking several glasses of water
with a pinch of Himalayan salt in them.
It is always essential that we as
human beings listen to our bodies first and foremost. When you find yourself
craving salty foods, that is your body's way of letting you know that you need
minerals, not just sodium chloride (and assorted added chemicals). The human
body needs an abundant supply of minerals in order to function at optimal
levels, and Himalayan salt is the perfect way to naturally feed your body what
it needs to perform at it's peak! Please visit our edible Himalayan salt
section for great deals on genuineHimalayan salt, available in both fine and
course grind, as well as rock form for solay preparations.

Himalayan salt Air Inhaler
Perhaps you saw this item on the
Dr. Oz television show? As discussed above, it was observed that the miners who
worked in the salt mines did not suffer from asthma or other respiratory
ailments. This led to the discovery of some of the curative effects of the
Himalayan salt and what is known as Physiotherapy. To emulate this effect, spas
began constructing Himalayan salt caves for therapeutic purposes.
Now, with the introduction of the
Himalayan salt inhaler, you can experience some of those same allergy relief
and asthma relief benefits for yourself in the comfort of your own home. Simply
use the Himalayan salt inhaler for roughly 10 to 15 minutes a day (depending on
