Sheila Talks About The Benefits of Salt!

10/23/2022

Hi, Angels Working On Earth Family,

Pink Himalayan salt can be found in the Punjab region of Pakistan, near the Himalayas’ foothills. Not only is Himalayan salt beautiful, but it detoxifies the body internally and externally. I use Himalayan salt in my DIY milk bath soaks! As a scrub, the salt removes dead skin cells and helps to scrub off excess dirt and oils on the skin’s surface. It balances our skin’s PH. Plus, it is a natural aid for acne and softens the skin. Pink Himalayan salt has similar minerals to table salt and contains up to 98 percent sodium chloride. The differences are it consists of trace minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium. The pink tint and taste are derived from these minerals.  

How is it used?

Himalayan and regular table salt are used in the same way. Chefs and healthcare practitioners use it as part of cooking and preserving delectables. I use Himalayan salt in combination with milk fats to soften my skin. Serving dishes, cooking surfaces, and cutting boards are sometimes made from blocks of Himalayan salts. Some people also use pink Himalayan salt and bath salts interchangeably.  

Why does the body need salt?

The body needs salts for a variety of functions. Sodium is a crucial trace mineral found in salt. Salt can relax muscles, maintain proper fluid balance, prevent dehydration, prevent low blood pressure, and support the nervous system. Some research reports that eating salt can reduce infection and depression and kill harmful bacteria.

Exfoliation

Softly rub the skin in circular motions with a salt scrub to remove dead skin cells in a process known as exfoliation.

Invigoration and Cleansing

Himalayan salt scrubs can invigorate the skin and helps to improve circulation due to their abrasiveness.
