spicesPink Himalayan Salt is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas. It is one of the purest salts available and contains a range of 83 natural minerals, which cause the pink hue. Himalayan rock salt has a wide range of uses from everyday table salt, food preparation and presentation, decorative lamps and spa treatments. This type of salt is naturally organic but since it is over 85 million years old it is difficult to certify it as 'Organic' as modern organic certification is examined from the very beginning of harvesting so it would be impossible in this case, however, we know it is pure as harvesting with chemicals did not exist that long ago. Himalayan rock salt increases hydration, can help balance pH levels (acids/alkalines) and help to reduce acid reflux, prevent and aid muscle cramping, improve circulation and help detoxify the body from heavy metals.
