Detoxify and Balance Your Body With Himalayan Sea Salt









Himalayan salt has remarkable healing and purifying properties, including pain and stress relief. It's been used to help detoxify and revitalize the body for centuries. Himalayan salt can be used in the bath, as a seasoning salt for cooking, inhalation, room purifiers, body scrubs, foot soaks and more. Being a day spa, we like to recommend Himalayan salts for baths, body scrubs and foot soaks.


Himalayan salt provides 84 essential minerals for healthy bodily functions. Sodium helps regulate blood volume and blood pressure, controls muscle contractions, nerve transmissions and heart function.

Himalayan salt is 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 important for health and well-being and help to create a balanced mind and a relaxed body.

For centuries people have trusted the benefits of salt therapy (speleotherapy with Himalayan salt) to relieve respiratory illnesses, improve skin conditions and strengthen their immune systems. Here are some of the benefits of soaking in Himalayan salts. You can find support and healing for the following:
  • Fatigue
  • Stress
  • Muscle and body aches
  • Headaches
  • Skin conditions caused by stress
  • Nervousness
  • Insomnia
  • Seasonal allergies
  • Sinus problems
  • Cold, cough and flu
  • Immune system 
  • Joint pain and inflammation


Himalayan salt’s mineral benefits are available regardless of what form the salt is consumed.  Himalayan salt is most often found as coarse grains, fine grains, or large blocks which can be used as room purifiers.
