Description
Loving Earth's Himalayan Crystal salt is mined from the Khewra salt mines in Pakistan. Available in nuggets, coarse or finely ground, our salt has a distinct flavour and rose pink colour. The unique crystalline structure of Himalayan salt is said to have many health benefits.
Replacing lower quality table salt with quality Himalayan crystal salt may have a significant impact on your health. Unlike standard table salt, Himalayan crystal salt has up to 84 trace minerals that support the various functions of your body's systems. Unlike processed table salt, crystal salt comes from the earth and is a natural state product.
Proponents of crystal salt often talk about the life force or the bio-photon energetic properties of salt. This relates to the salt's crystalline structure and how it affects energetic systems within our bodies. Tremendous pressure over millions of years has changed the structure of Himalayan crystal salt, and is what makes this salt so unique.

Hydration
We have all heard that humans are comprised of 80-90% water. This is partially true. A more accurate description would be we are actually 80-90% salt water. Electrolytes, or mineral salts are actually what keep us hydrated. Coffee consumption and sweet sugary food rob our bodies of these minerals, and can lead to states of chronic dehydration. Headaches, aging skin and a gaunt appearance are symptoms of dehydration. Without quality salts in our diet, the water we drink is flushed from our bodies quickly, as we may have mineral deficits that prevent water from being held in our bodies. When we are properly hydrated our cells are able to efficiently exchange nutrients and eliminate toxins.
How much and how often should I eat Himalyan Crystal salt?
Our bodies know best! When we use Crystal salt in food preparation, our taste buds will tell us when we have consumed an adequate quantity of salt i.e. it is either too salty, or not salty enough!
Some people choose to make sole Ð this is a brine solution that is made using nuggets of salt and saturating a water solution with salt over night. One teaspoon of sole is consumed daily, usually in the morning before breakfast to ensure that our body receives a significant quantity of trace minerals.
