And historically, people in the Himalayas have used it for centuries to preserve meat and fish.

It is often said that it is good to limit salt in our menu. But the right salt in the right amount is very good for health. Pink Himalayan salt contains 84 minerals and trace elements, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron, so it has a much bigger role in the body than adding flavor to food.

What is Pink Himalayan Salt?

Pink Himalayan salt is truly unique. It is also called pink salt, Himalayan sea salt, rock salt or Himalayan crystal salt. It is called rock salt in the Punjab region of Pakistan. This region has some of the richest deposits of salt in the entire world and they are very, very old - dating back to 4 billion years ago when our planet was formed, it is even thought that this salt consists of the dried remains of the primordial sea . Himalayan crystal salt is mined 1,500 m deep under the Himalayan mountains. This salt has been under immense pressure for millions of years and is believed to be over 99% pure. Its color is an indicator of its mineral content, and it can be pink, white or red in color. Chemically, like any salt, it is Sodium Chloride (NaCl) with a percentage content of 87%, and not like ordinary salt 98-99%. Celtic sea salt is comparable in quality to Himalayan salt, but comes from a completely different source (England, France) and is grayish in color and has a different mineral composition. In general, salt is vital for the proper functioning of cells in the body, for the conduction of nerve impulses, for digestion, for the absorption of nutrients, and for the elimination of waste products.

When you use a lamp made of pink Himalayan salt, it can provide you with cleaner air at home and in the office. How does this work? As a natural quality of salt (the lamp is made from a whole block of salt), it attracts moisture and also pollutants in the air. Once on the lamp (it is hot), the water evaporates and the contaminants remain in the salt of the lamp.

And the more salt they added to the diet, the longer the sleep and with fewer awakenings.
