Himalayan Health
Most doctors will tell you to avoid salt. Don’t add it to your food or use it while cooking. It’s hazardous to your health and will cause high blood pressure. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, white table salt will do all those things, however, Pink Himalayan Salt will not. Pure white salt that you purchase in the store has been refined and anti-caking agents added to it to prevent it from clumping. The refining process strips the salt of any healthy minerals it may have contained and then manufacturers add toxic chemicals to it so it will flow freely out of your salt shaker. Most health conscious people had switched to sea salts as they were reported to be healthier and contained more minerals, but even sea salts are now highly contaminated with radiation.
Pure Himalayan salt contains miraculous healing properties for our bodies. Our bodies require salt to live. But the quality of the salt makes all the difference. Taken from the Himalayan Mountains, the salt is still hand mined and sun dried to maintain it’s purity and quality. It contains 84 minerals and trace minerals. Using Pink Himalayan Crystal salt for cooking and in your salt shaker or grinder provides essential minerals and trace elements that our bodies need to function properly. It also helps balance electrolytes, eliminates toxins and heavy metals, balances the body’s pH, supports proper nutrient absorption, helps regulate blood pressure and blood sugar, and increases circulation along with a list of other health benefits to long to mention. It can also assist with relief from allergies, asthma, arthritis, skin ailments including eczema and psoriasis, flu, fever, migraines, kidney stones, gallstones, and more. Add ½ teaspoon of Himalayan salt per gallon of drinking water, or make a sole solution and drink 1 teaspoon every morning. (See www.bestpinksalt.com for directions on how to make and take sole.)
Because of its unique properties, Himalayan salt has been gaining popularity among many natural health experts. But not all salts are created equal. There is a big difference between crystal salt and rock salt. Himalayan Crystal salt is salt that has been mined out of the mountains. Rock salt is salt that is taken from the top of the mountain or the salt plains near the region. However, the compression from the mountain is key. Geologically, it’s like the difference between a piece of coal and a diamond. They are both the same element; however, due to millions of years of intense pressure, the coal is transformed into a diamond crystal. The same is true for Himalayan Crystal salt. The rock salt is mined near the top of the mountain where it is easy to get to, but where it has not been subjected to the pressure. Only the salt from deep in the mines has the crystalline structure necessary to provide the host of health benefits listed above.
So how do you know where your salt comes from? Simple, know your source. Best Pink Salt is a small, family owned business. We package our products by hand, not by machine. Our salt does not come with a lengthy paper trail between businesses. Most large businesses selling Himalayan salt can’t tell you where it comes from or the difference between rock and crystal salt. Larger companies are all about the bottom line. Rock salt is much cheaper than crystal salt and can have the same appearance so it is difficult to tell what you are buying. So they purchase the cheaper salt, package it and label it as Himalayan salt, and unsuspecting customers buy it with the intention of making a better choice for their health. Our salt is hand selected from the mine, shipped to the United States and purchased by our company. We purchase only the best quality salt.
Pink Himalayan Crystal salt should be rose in color. If it’s too white, it’s been processed too much, removing too much of the mineral content. If it’s too red, it contains too much clay. While the clay is also healthy, you want a nice rose color which will give you the proper mineral balance. (The photo of the salt grinder shows the proper coloring and was taken by us to show the quality of our products. It has not been altered other than cropping.) Himalayan Crystal salt is available at www.bestpinksalt.com in three different grinds. The grind doesn’t matter; it’s simply a matter of preference. Fine grind is for those who want to put the salt in a salt shaker. The salt will clump as there are no anti-caking chemicals added. Simply tap the salt shaker on your hand to loosen the salt. Medium grind is similar to the size you would find on a soft pretzel. Coarse grind is perfect for salt grinders.
Know your grinder! Not all salt grinders are created equal. Remember you get what you pay for. We all know that salt is corrosive to metal. So why do we use salt grinders with a metal blade? The salt grinders at www.bestpinksalt.com are metal free. The grinding mechanism is made from advanced ceramic close in hardness to diamond. It provides consistent, durable performance and is guaranteed never to rust. Great for grinding salt, peppercorns, spices or seeds. The grinder holds approximately three ounces of coarse salt and will come filled with Pink Himalayan Crystal Salt when purchased from us. The grinding mechanism comes with a lifetime guarantee and best of all; they are not made in China.
Lastly, are you prepared? In an emergency people run to the store to stock up on milk and bread, neither of which will sustain life. Water is another concern, but rarely do we think of salt when we think of emergency preparedness. Salt was as valuable as gold at one time, yet we don’t think of storing it for emergencies. What will you preserve your food or meat with, should the need arise? Do you have something to trade if you ever needed it that would be of value to anyone? Added to clean drinking water, it can sustain you for quite some time, providing you with value minerals. You can add it to water to treat bug bites or clean cuts or wounds. You can use it to brush your teeth as well. The uses are unlimited and the cost minimal. The government is trying to limit the purchase of salt as some are now using it in meth labs. Imagine a limit or ban on salt. Some states are already trying to outlaw bath salts, throwing the good out with the bad. There may come a time where you won’t be able to purchase salt without government control; a natural substance, created for all, controlled by a few. Make sure to remember the salt when storing for a rainy day. Not all storms come with warnings from the weather service.
