Pink Salt Benefits

 

Alleviating allergies and respiratory symptoms

There is a reason why halotherapy or salt therapy is gaining momentum across North America and around the world.  Salt is naturally antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, reduces mucus and pathogens in the air such as pollen, according to the Lung Institute. Himalayan salt caves and spas offer exceptional health benefits for people with allergies and respiratory symptoms.

 

Balancing pH level of the body

Balanced pH level plays an important role in overall health and well-being. Given Pink Himalayan sea salt’s sodium and other mineral content and electrolytes, it has a positive effect on blood pH level, thereby improving immunity, digestion and general body wellness.

 

Improving digestion

Pink Himalayan salt can be mixed with pure water to make a solution that can greatly help with digestion. This solution is referred to as sole and its daily use is believed to balance stomach acid, help production of digestive fluids and improve metabolism.

 

Helping to sleep better

Several scientific studies suggest that low sodium diets can cause sleep issues.  While high sodium intake is also not recommended, balanced sodium intake that is required for proper functioning of the human body certainly helps with undisturbed sleep. Scientists have suggested that low levels of sodium in the blood can cause blood volume to decrease, and the sympathetic nervous system to become more active which causes people to wake up more often during sleep.

 

There are several other benefits of natural pink Himalayan salt, including:

 

• Creating an electrolyte balance

• Increasing hydration

• Regulating water content both inside and outside of cells

• Balancing pH (alkaline/acidity) and help to reduce acid reflux

• Preventing muscle cramping

• Aiding in proper metabolism functioning

• Strengthening bones

• Lowering blood pressure

• Helping the intestines absorb nutrients

• Preventing goiters

• Improving circulation

• Dissolving and eliminating sediment to remove toxins

• Reducing the signs of aging and detoxifying the body from heavy metals

 

Himalayan Pink Salt vs Table Salt

 

For starters, Himalayan salt is hand-mined and largely unprocessed. It contains 84 minerals and trace elements that have great health benefits as mentioned above. Regular table salt, on the other hand, is really composed of many forms of chemicals – sometimes even sugar.  This makes such types of salt difficult to digest and can potentially lead to inflammation of the tissues, high blood pressure and bloating. Himalayan Pink Salt is much easier for the body to process, requiring far less cellular water in order to neutralize the sodium chloride content in chemically-treated salt. 

​

As for the taste, the Himalayan Salt imparts a subtler flavor than the sharper sea salt – hence perfect for seasoning food with delicate flavor.  Aside from cooking and grilling, it’s a great finishing salt, added to dishes right before serving.

​

Salt is a very beneficial addition to daily diet to be consumed in recommended quantity.The Pink Himalayan salt is indeed a pure and healthier option to regular table salt that not only provides exceptional flavour to your food but also helps keep you healthier through key nutrients and minerals that provide positive benefits for overall health and well-being.​
