 These beautiful pink salt crystals are mined from the great Salt Range of the Himalayas, an area that geologists estimate could be 800 million years old. You could be eating a salt crystal that was actually formed in the Precambrian era — around the same time the first multi-celled life began (we’re talking little tiny organisms that were the first sign of life on this planet). In all senses of the word, this salt is a truly old spice. It’s a pretty interesting blast from the very distant past, and a unique experience to eat something so pure and untouched for millions of years.
Himalayan crystal salt is pure, fresh, unpolluted and has no impurities whatsoever.
For thousands of years salt was used as a universal remedy. Today, we see return to natural methods of healing and caring for our bodies. The salt helps maintain the water content in our bodies and therefore keeps a healthy PH balance in our cells, especially in our brain cells which also slows the aging process. Because of its many minerals, a lot of illnesses and ailments can be cured with Himalayan crystal salt and natural mineral water. Use Himalayan crystal salt in your daily diet but also drink a mix of one teaspoon salt brine and mineral- or spring water every morning on an empty stomach for an easy, inexpensive way to stay healthy and treat many illnesses and minor ailments. The following ailments can effectively be cured with the salt in various forms. 1. Healthy PH balance 2. Digestive disorders 3. muscle cramps 4. Poor vascular health 5. Headaches 6. Ear infections 7. Dental hygiene 8. Dry cough 9. Sore throats 10. Menstrual complaints 11. Chronic respiratory illness 12. Foot fungus 13. Acne problems 14. Lack of bone strength 15. Fights diabetes |
1. Unhealthy PH Balance
People who experience unbalanced PH levels are acidic but our body cells need to be slightly alkaline to function properly. To remove the acid, the body is forced to get the necessary minerals, such as calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acidic condition. In many cases the state of an acidic body goes undetected for years. But this strain causes severe and prolonged damage to the body which manifests itself in the form of kidney disease, allergies, obesity, gastro-intestinal disorders, arthritis, gout, eye disease and premature aging.
Using natural rock salt like Himalayan crystal salt on a regular basis, with its more than 80 minerals can help keep the PH balance or even restore it to the ideal levels again as well as equalizing the fluid intake inside and around the body's cells. At the same time it can assist in removing heavy metals like highly dangerous and toxic lead, mercury, and arsenic.
To keep a healthy Ph balance mix one teaspoon of salt brine with a small glass of purified water or spring water and drink it every morning on an empty stomach. This mixture gives you energy for the whole day.

2. Digestive Disorder
It is well known, that only a certain amount of food can be digested by our intestines. If we overeat or eat improper food our body reacts with disorder or indigestion. Using the right salt can aid the digestion of the food by stimulating the glands that produce digestive juices and are responsible for a healthy digestion. Digestion is not possible without salt. The salivary glands in the mouth start the digestion process. Saliva contains an enzyme that begins to break up the starch in food into smaller molecules.
Himalayan salt stimulates hydrochloric acid and an enzyme in the stomach, coming from the glands in the stomach lining. They digest the protein and also break down the food while stimulating the intestinal tract and liver, which aids the digestive process. Natural crystal salt supports a healthy balance in the body, prevents or even lowers high blood pressure and therefore makes it an indispensable and ideal food addition in everybody’s diet.
To keep a healthy digestion, drink a sole mix every morning before breakfast.

3. Prevention or elimination of muscle cramps
There are several different kinds of muscle cramps. Cramps after an injury, during or after sports or with unaccustomed activities, rest cramps which often occur during the night, dehydration or liver cirrhosis. One cause of muscle cramps could be an imbalance of electrolytes, overuse of the muscle or the body is lacking liquids and minerals. Important minerals are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Using Himalayan salt brine with more than 80 minerals can help restore the mineral and nutrient levels that charge our body with energy and eliminate cramps. One teaspoon of brine mixed with good mineral or spring water in the morning before eating or drinking anything should show very quick results.
4. Poor Vascular Health
Our vascular system is the most important system in our body. It is made of veins and arteries which have to carry oxygen-rich blood throughout the body to the vital organs, the brain and the legs. An increasing buildup of plague in the arteries as we age, leads to clogged veins, which get stiffer and narrower. Depending on your diet, body fat and stress levels, this development can lead to high cholesterol and high blood pleasure and in the worst case to stroke and heart attack. Water retention in the body because of an unhealthy diet such as using toxic table salt can lead to inflammation in the tissue, cellulite, problems walking, foot ulcers, gangrene and even amputation.
It is always better to prevent any of these symptoms but if you already have any of the symptoms above, it is still possible to reverse them. Using natural crystal salt promotes a healthy balance within the body and does not contribute to high blood pressure. A teaspoon of salt brine mixed with mineral water or spring water in the morning on an empty stomach will soon show its effects in a stronger and healthy cardiovascular system and overall good health.

6. Ear Infection
Ear infections are one of the most common health problems both in children and adults. Ear infections are considered a delicate infection in our body and if untreated and severe enough, can lead to deafness. They are caused by bacterial or viral conditions like a common cold. Pain and inflammation are the most evident symptoms. Other symptoms are ear blockage or temporary hearing loss. Swimmers often experience inflammation of the external ear canal.
To combat viruses and bacteria inside the ear, use salt brine (also called sole) made from Himalayan crystal salt, and use as ear-drops. The inflammation should be gone within a couple of days.

Painful throat swelling and difficulty in eating and drinking are indicators that the throat is infected by either virus or bacteria. There is a lot of medicine on the market but one of the best, cheapest and most effective is to treat the infection with sole solution. As we know, Himalayan crystal salt can battle viruses, bacteria and fungi. Mix the salt brine with some warm water and use it for gargling to kill the infection.
10. Menstrual Pains
Himalayan crystal salt can help women with premenstrual and menstrual disorders and stomach aches, using a salt sachet and heating it up in warm water or in the microwave. You can also warm the brine solution up and put it the liquid on a small towel. Place it on the stomach or abdomen for thirty minutes to let solution stabilize the body fluids and ease the pressure and stress on the muscles.
11. Chronic Respiratory Illness
Chronic respiratory disease such as bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma and allergies can be a heavy burden in everyday life. Regular use of sole steam that is inhaled helps to loosen up blocked up air and nasal passages that lead to the respiratory system. Mix a table spoon of Himalayan crystal salt with approximately 1 ½ liters of hot water in a bowl. Use a towel over your head and the bowl and inhale the sole steam. If the steam is too hot, put a towel over the steaming bowl and inhale the steam through the towel. Continue for about 30 minutes or until the blockages are out and you can breathe easily again. A pinch of Himalayan Crystal Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs nearly immediately.
12. Foot fungus
Foot fungus, also called Athlete’s foot is a common dermatitis of the webs of the toes, nails and soles of the feet. If left untreated athlete’s foot can spread to the groin, palm or other parts of the body. This kind of infections is very contagious and is spread by walking barefoot on contaminated objects and floors, for example public shower rooms in gyms, hotel rooms etc. It may cause itching, burning, pain and scaling, the toenails get thicker, disfigured or cracked and give off a foul odor.
First, mix one part vinegar to four parts very warm water and soak feet in it for 20-30 minutes, twice a day. After drying of your feet, rub salt brine on the affected regions. Vinegar creates an inhospitable environment for the fungus, but the Himalayan crystal salt is what kills it because it absorbs the humidity out of things. Without the damp, fungus cannot survive.

13. Eliminate your Psoriasis and Acne Problems forever
Taking a mixture of one teaspoon of sole in a small glass of water every morning will provide nutrients and elements to the skin helping and preventing common skin conditions. Nevertheless as we age, skin can get dry, wrinkles appear and all kinds of skin problems show up.
Himalayan crystal salt brine supports the treatment of psoriasis by balancing the skin’s acid mantle for regeneration and optimum healing of damaged cells. The salt helps to increase circulation to the affected areas, detoxifying the skin so that minerals can be absorbed easily. It supplies the dermal cells with necessary nutrition and sufficient supply of minerals that are essential for optimum skin health such as: Zinc, Sulfur, Iodine and Chromium.
Zinc promotes a healthy immune system, the healing of wounds and tissues and helps prevent scarring. By regulating the activity of the oil glands it helps prevent acne.
Sulfur is a mineral without which we suffer from dry scalps, rashes, eczema and acne. It keeps skin clear and smooth.
Iodine increases oxygen consumption and the metabolic rate of the skin and therefore helps the healing of skin infections.
Chromium reduces skin infections and fights acne.
Use salt brine (slightly diluted -1 tsp. sole, 1 tblsp. water) and dab it on the affected areas or use the undiluted solution. The solution helps cleaning and detoxifying from the outside. For larger areas use a bowl and soak the parts in it or take a sole bath.

15. Himalayan salt as a bone strength booster
Generally, peak bone mass is reached by both genders between the age of 25 and 35 years. With progressing age heavy toxins accumulate in the joints and eat away at our joints due to lack of minerals in the food supply, wrong food choices, lack of physical activity and dropping hormone levels. Our body becomes depleted of vital minerals and as a result our bones get demineralized. The consequences are weak and brittle bones, the joints become causing arthritis or bones that break easily. Bone loss as a skeletal disease is considered a silent disease because its condition is created over many years and in most cases is not diagnosed until a broken wrist, hip or leg occurs.
It is always better to prevent bone loss by using Himalayan salt in the daily diet because the salt contains eleven minerals which are important for healthy bones such as: Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Sulfur, Silicon, Zinc, Copper, Phosphorus, Iodine, Vanadium, and Fluoride. It is recommended to switch from table salt to Himalayan salt. A daily mixture of one teaspoon of sole and mineral- or spring water in the morning on an empty stomach will be able to reverse and even cure arthritis or other bone related illnesses.

16. Normalizes Blood Sugar
Himalayan crystal salt is a vital factor for balancing the sugar levels in the blood, a needed element in diabetics. Blood sugar levels in the body that are too high or too low cause great disadvantages which, if not treated can develop into diabetes. Even if diabetes is already diagnosed, it can be reversed and the ideal balance in the body can be restored. Responsible are four minerals out of the 84 in Himalayan salt that maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
Chromium turns carbohydrates into glucose and helps regulate the production of insulin.
Magnesium helps to digest sugar, starches and fats and therefore stabilizes blood sugar levels.
Vanadium has shown insulin-like effects on the glucose metabolism.
Manganese maintains blood glucose levels in the normal range.
Drinking one teaspoon of sole mixed with mineral- or spring water every morning and using Himalayan crystal salt in your daily diet will show a positive effect within a few weeks.

How to make sole or salt brine
Having a jar of sole in your kitchen is a very handy health remedy for all kinds of ailments and it is easy to make. If you keep it in a jar or glass bottle with a wide neck and a screw top or a lid you don’t have to worry about the water evaporating.
First put about 1 inch of Himalayan crystal salt stones, ground salt or just salt into a glass jar.
Add about 3 inches of purified water or spring water over the stones or salt, completely covering the crystals. Let the mixture sit for about 24 hours.
Keep adding more salt crystals to the water if they are dissolved until it gets to a stage where the salt will no longer dissolve and stays on the bottom. When salt stays on the bottom and cannot dissolve, it means that the water is fully saturated and cannot hold anymore. Make sure there are always salt crystals on the bottom and when you use the brine just add more water and more salt. Salt crystals on the bottom are an indicator that the water is totally saturated with salt.
In the morning, mix one teaspoon of sole with a glass of purified water or spring water and drink it on an empty stomach. This drink will give your body energy for the next 24 hours and will keep you healthy and fit.
As a natural anti–bacterial and natural fungicide, the sole cannot spoil or go bad and will keep forever.
