The Benefits of Pink Himalayan Salt

Pink Himalayan salt is chemically similar to table salt. It contains up to 98 percent sodium chloride. The remainder of the salt is made up of trace minerals, such as potassium, magnesium and calcium which give the salt its light pink tint. The presence of these minerals also explains why Himalayan salt tastes different to regular table salt. 

This type of salt is used in the same manner as common table salt - in cooking, to season meals, and to preserve food. Blocks of pink salt are used as serving dishes, cooking surfaces, and cutting boards. It is also used in place of bath salts, and lamps and candle holders made of pink salt are available.

Table salt, stripped of minerals and bleached, is a freak of nature. Your body sees it that way, too. Sea salts, unfortunately, are becoming more and more polluted as the oceans fill up with toxins. Real salt, mined from ancient sea beds is untainted by toxins and provides a rich source of 60+ trace minerals. Himalayan salt is also mined from ancient sea beds, so it is pure from modern environmental toxins. It provides a whopping 84 trace minerals, plus a unique ionic energy that is released when the salt is mixed with water.


Spelotherapy, also called salt therapy, utilizes salt to address respiratory diseases and improve overall health. Although little known in the U.S., it is widespread in Europe. Since the 1800s, many people visit European salt mines to breathe in the salt-rich air. One modern form of salt therapy consists of sitting in a room pumped with salt-laden air.


When the salty air is inhaled, the minute salt particles travel through the entire respiratory system. The antibacterial and antimicrobial properties purify and detox the lungs and sinuses.
Studies show that salt therapy is widely effective for:
  • Reducing asthma (many users report no longer needing their rescue inhaler)
  • Reducing seasonal allergies by cleansing the sinuses
  • Coughs and chest congestion
  • Improving the respiratory systems of smokers
  • Improving skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis
  • Improving lung function in individuals with cystic fibrosis (Source - Underground Wellness)

It is really wonderful to know that there is a better alternative to the table salt. I think that a lot of people fail to recognize the effects of this new found knowledge. Table salt is one of the ingredients in cooking that is present almost all the time. Which is why, I am really happy to know that there is a better version of it that I can use. Truth be told, the Pink Himalayan Salt that you have mentioned is something that I was reluctant to use, however, I will be trying it soon.
