With its pink, rose-like color, Himalayan
salt is visually distinctive and known for its nutritional
profile as it contains a high number of essential minerals. Himalayan
salt is considered healthier than table salt because it does not
contain any additives or chemicals, and is a naturally occurring
substance.
Sea Salt and Detoxification
Himalayan salt has been used to help detoxify the
body in the form of a brine treatment. Most commonly done in the form of
a bath, brine baths purport to detoxify the body through osmosis. As
the sodium binds the water to the outer layer of your skin, moisture is
preserved. Toxins are released from your body, while your skin absorbs
the healthy minerals from the sodium into your body. It is recommended
that the brine bath be as close as possible to normal body temperature,
around 97 degrees Fahrenheit, and that you use 2.2 lbs. of Himalayan
salt for approximately every 26 to 32 gallons of water.
Sodium
As a natural source of sodium, Himalayan salt
provides an essential mineral for healthy bodily functions. Sodium helps
to regulate blood volume and thus blood pressure, as well as helping to
control muscle contractions, nerve transmissions and heart functions.
Sodium can be found naturally in a number of foods, but it can also be
consumed as added salt, as in the case of Himalayan salt. The daily
recommended amount of sodium to be consumed daily is between 1500 mg and
2300 mg, for men and women between the ages of 9 and 50.

Mineral Content and Consumption
Himalayan salt is widely touted for its mineral
content, containing 84 minerals in total. In addition to sodium,
Himalayan salt is relatively high in iron, magnesium, phosphorus,
calcium, potassium and chloride. It also contains traces of boron,
fluoride, iodine, zinc, selenium and copper, all of which are necessary
for bodily health. As a naturally occurring salt, Himalayan salt
contains all these minerals without chemical processing or refinement.
Because it is harvested naturally, Himalayan salt’s mineral benefits are
available regardless of what form the salt is consumed as. Himalayan
salt is most commonly found as coarse grains, fine grains, or large
blocks which can be used as serving platters that delicately “season”
the food they serve.
