Himalayan Crystal Salt: Restores Balance Naturally

“There must be something sacred in salt, it is in our tears, it is in the ocean…”
– Khalil Gibran


We seem to be physically and divinely connected with water and salt. We reflect the earth and she reflects us. Our bodies are approximately 70% water and salt and the earth is made up of approximately 70% water, much of this being sea water. As Dr Emoto has shown, water is influenced by intention, thought and emotions. Choosing to use good quality water and salt is an effective and relatively simple way to help stabilise and balance one’s internal environment and bodily processes.

The earth provides us with salts in various forms and we have a choice regarding which form and quality of salt we wish to use. Contrary to popular belief, salt is not sodium chloride. All salts are made up of various combinations of minerals, including sodium, but the sodium content of most salts is, in reality, very low. It was through the industrial revolution that salt and sodium chloride became synonymous, when sodium chloride was used to clean industrial machinery. I am sure most people don’t consider their bodies to be industrial machinery that needs to be cleaned! Our bodies are temples for creation and divine expression which require love and nurturing with the correct balance of nutrients and minerals for optimal functioning.

“Salt is something to be revered, not feared…”
- Anon

Himalayan Crystal Salt is a substance which the earth has stored in her ancient womb for millennia, bringing it to the surface and making it available to us at a time when we are being called to balance and restore our selves, so that we can balance, restore and nurture mother earth in return. Legend has it that Himalayan Crystal Salt was discovered by the horses of Alexander the Great’s soldiers, when they began licking the rocks in the area where the salt is still found today. The salt comes from the Salt Range of the Himalayan region, an area which remains relatively pristine thereby holding a specific vibrational quality.

When we sweat, our skin becomes salty due to the minerals pushed to the surface. If we view the earth as a body, perhaps the salt deposits of the earth could be seen as places where the minerals have come to the surface to provide us with vital nutrients. Is the earth providing the minerals for us to use in a healing and restorative way? Perhaps we can benefit from using salt in this natural, pristine and crystalline form?

Himalayan Crystal Salt is a natural, unprocessed salt which analysis shows contains vital essential and trace minerals. It is Himalayan Crystal Salt’s crystalline structure, unique mineral content, and, very importantly, the easily absorbable form in which these minerals are found, that distinguishes it from other salts. The main minerals in Himalayan Crystal Salt are sulphur, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorous, potassium, zinc sodium, copper and lithium (see below for details of these minerals). These minerals each have vital roles to play in restoring and maintaining health and vitality in the system.

For a mineral to be utilized at the intracellular level, it must be in an angstrom-size (one-thousandth of a micron), and these particles must be completely water-soluble. It is only the ionic form (able to give and receive electrons), or angstrom-size level, of minerals that can enter the cells and activate the proper DNA structures to actuate the guiding frequencies for the function of the body. This is one reason why we can use salt Himalayan Crystal Salt for our bodies with beneficial health results, because it is in ionic angstrom-size form. This also means it is absorbed almost immediately. If salt isn’t in the ionic-angstrom form, we simply aren’t able to absorb the minerals efficiently into our bodies.

Table salt, as well as any heated salt, is covalently bonded (sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms). In this form, it is not readily available for use in the body and can cause a toxic build-up. It is salts in this form that doctors warn against, due to the potential health problems many associate with all salt. However, salt consisting of ionic angstrom-size particles, can be easily absorbed by the cells and travel through the cells, and if the body doesn’t need it, it will simply be discharged with no buildup of the minerals to create potential toxicity in the tissues. This means Himalayan Crystal Salt can be used freely, and since we each have a unique biological make-up and nutrient requirements, each person can intuitively discern how much to use. Himalayan Crystal Salt is an excellent source of minerals for nourishing the cells and supporting vital internal processes.

Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps

Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps are beautifully crafted from blocks of salt crystals. They emit healing negative ions and radiate a soft, warm glow which creates a relaxing and comforting ambience in any room. Negative ions, found in nature at the seaside, at waterfalls, in caves and in forests, provide many health benefits. Negative ions balance out the harmful effects of positive ions generated through the electromagnetic radition from computers, TV's, fridges, microwaves and other electrical equipment, balance the serotonin levels in the blood, and improve the functioning of the respiratory system, enhancing the oxygen uptake in the blood. Studies have shown that negative ions improve sleep quality, speed the healing of wounds, improve recovery rates from exercise and provide relief from the symptoms of asthma, allergies, and hayfever. The lamps make excellent night lights for children and have a calming effect, improving sleep. Once switched on, the lamps have an amazing presence in any indoor space and provide a comforting and healthy balance.

So-Lay Drinking Solution

Using Himalayan Crystal Salt dissolved in good quality drinking water and consuming the mixture, known as “so-lay”, regularly, is a good way of maintaining the correct water and salt balance with the body. The “so-lay” solution helps to alkalinize the body and stimulates the optimum functioning of the internal organs. It is recommended that one take a teaspoon of the so-lay in a glass of water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, instead of coffee!

Bath Salts

Himalayan Crystal Salt dissolved in bath water can be used to detoxify, cleanse and purify the body and maintain a natural mineral and water balance. Bathing in salt infused water can help to cleanse the cells and to literally detoxify and stabilise the inner emotional state. The skin is the largest organ of the body so bathing in salt water is an excellent way of replenishing minerals, rebalancing the skin’s pH and nourishing the cells. Salt bathing seems to be an effective way of helping to clear eczema and psoriasis.

Neti Pots for clearing the sinuses

Neti Pots and Himalayan Crystal Salt dissolved in water are excellent tools for cleansing the sinus passages and clearing nasal congestion. This can help provide relief of sinus headaches, blockages, allergies and snoring. Himalayan Crystal Salt is gentle on the linings of the nasal cavity. It also moisturises the mucosa and supports its natural regeneration, making it more difficult for bacteria and viruses to nest and cause sinus infections or hay fever. In the Neti pot, a ¼ teaspoon of salt is dissolved with luke warm water and gently poured through the spout into each nostril alternately, allowing the solution to find its way through the nasal passages and out through the other nostril. This leaves one feeling unblocked and clear headed.

Salt Licks

Himalayan Crystal Salt Licks are an excellent way to provide horses, game, cattle or other animals with the essential and trace minerals they require for health and optimum performance. By hanging a salt lamp in the stables, paddocks, or at a watering hole, the animals have easy and constant access to the minerals their bodies require. Himalayan Crystal Salt Licks provide sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, lithium, iron, zinc, phosphorous and other trace minerals. The ionic nature of Himalayan Crystal Salt makes the minerals readily available to the cells and can assist the animals in achieving and maintaining optimum health and well being.

Conclusion

By bringing awareness to the choices we make around something as simple as which salt we use, we may be being guiding by the earth to a more balanced way of life. We need to continually acknowledge and maintain our connection to our earth and express our gratitude for the wonderful gifts she provides for us. One of these gifts is the pinky-orange salt from the Salt range of the Himalayan region. Analysis shows that this crystal salt contains essential and trace minerals found naturally in a form which allows them to be easily absorbed by our bodies, making it a substance with tremendous healing potential.

Many people tend to be living in very acidic and stressful environments and many of the foods we eat make us more acidic. We need to slow down, alkalinize and reconnect with mother earth. It would make sense that using foods as close to the way that nature intended them will bring us back into harmony with her. Himalayan Crystal Salt seems to be one of these foods. It is totally natural, unaltered, alkalinizing and in the form that nature intended. One of our aims should be to restore balance to our own bodies and to the body of the earth. Perhaps Himalayan Crystal Salt can play a supporting part in this process.
