Himalayan Pink Salt 500gm

Himalayan Pink Salt, as the name suggests, is mined from deep within the Himalayan Mountains. Through the evaporation of a large ocean body nearly 800 million years ago, a bed of salt was deposited and subsequently covered through geological and tectonic processes, by lava and eventually the highest mountain range on the planet.

Despite having remained in the same location for millions of years, surrounding solidified lava and large rock formations have prevented any additional minerals from penetrating this vast bed of salt. Today, it is mined by hand and broken into smaller pieces by mechanical crushing.

These two facts mean that it is often touted as ‘pure’ and ‘unprocessed’, which has added to the myriad of claims regarding its health and healing properties. Whether you actually consider this seasoning to be pure and unprocessed all comes down to semantics. In fact, the only reason it has such an aesthetically appealing colour is down to the presence of impurities

Whilst table salt meets the food-grade purity requirements of being at least 97% sodium chloride (NaCl), the NaCl content of Himalayan Pink Salt ranges from around 93-100%. The remaining <7% is often said to take the form of additional minerals – 84 minerals in total to be exact, according to a number of sources

Sodium and 84 Other Minerals

While pink salt is made up primarily of sodium, it also contains 60 to 65 trace minerals. Sodium helps keep your blood pressure in check as well as aiding in cardiovascular function. The recommended upper limit is 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day for adults or as specified by your doctor in case of heart condition.

Pink Salt is a pristine source of natural mineral salts. It is good source of at least 10 essential minerals required by the human body, which is not present in the sea salt. Himalayan Pink salt has high quantities of phosphorus, calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, bromine and zirconium.

Using in Brine Therapy

Because of its mineral content, Himalayan salt can also be used in brine therapy, where it can help regulate your blood circulation and pressure, as well as treat skin diseases and help restore your acid-base balance. To take part in brine therapy, soak in a bath of dissolved Himalayan salt, which helps promote self-healing and detoxification through osmosis.

Best of all, Himalayan salt is naturally anti-microbial, so clean up requires just a quick scrub or rinse.

Suitable for Fasting

This salt can be even used during fast days, as many religions treat crystal salt as pure as water and air since it is derived from nature.

Why buy Ananda Mayapur Pink salt ?

Your average table salt also has things like iodine added, as well as other chemicals to keep the salt crystals from clumping.

Table salt contains infused iodine, which is added to the salt after it has been bleached and stripped of all its nutrients. The iodine that is added is synthetic, which often makes the iodine harder to absorb. Studies have shown that for each gram of table salt your body can’t process, your body must use 20 times the amount of water to neutralize the sitting sodium chloride in your body.
