What Can Himalayan Salt Do for You?

Himalayan salt is a type of rock salt best known for its alluring pink color—a property emanating from the natural presence of important trace minerals, such as magnesium and iodine. Hand-mined from caves in northern Pakistan, it contains 84 of the 92 minerals and trace elements found in the human body. Breathing in Himalayan salt can help to replenish the body’s minerals and trace elements that are depleted. Himalayan salt treatment is an excellent option for those suffering from respiratory problems, such as allergies, asthma, bronchitis, hay fever and emphysema; however, it doesn’t stop there.

            Many that have used Himalayan salt as a health treatment option believe that it also helps to regulate water and sugar levels in the body, aid in vascular health, promote gallbladder and kidney health, support effort to improve libido, and expand the lung capacity. When blended into natural soap, the health properties of the salt enhance skin cleansing and exfoliation.

            It is also a great substitute for table salt. Most table salt today is “chemically cleaned” and reduced to pure sodium chloride, which has been found to cause unintended and adverse health issues, similar to refined, white sugar. Natural Himalayan salt crystals do a better job of supporting the body’s ability to keep pH levels in balance. This popular salt is commonly used and can be found in countless homes and professional kitchens all around the world.

               Adding a Himalayan salt lamp or two to one’s home and/or office décor is also a great way to not only refresh and cleanse the air but also to provide a very welcoming environment that is visually appealing and stimulating. Very affordable and coming in all shapes and sizes, a Himalayan salt lamp perfectly accents any room with its naturally beautiful soft and warm glow.

            When utilized in a Himalayan salt spa—such as Breath of Salt Spa, conveniently located at 817 Moss Creek Drive, in Cayce—the amazing health and wellness qualities of the salt are enhanced by a wonderfully relaxing and ambient atmosphere filled with delightful music. Many have found halotherapy (“halo” is the Greek word for salt) to be very beneficial in relieving stress, reducing anxiety, and expanding lung capacity while encouraging physiological regeneration and rejuvenation. This list includes both business professionals and athletes. Adds Brenda Streett, owner of Breath of Salt Spa: “I have collected countless testimonies over the years of personal clients, and many other individuals, suffering from various types of respiratory issues, sinus problems, and other health challenges that have found relief and improved health gained by regular visits to a natural Himalayan salt spa.
