The Benefits of Himalayan Salt

Himalayan Salt

By  Dr. Edward F. Group

Himalayan crystal salt is far superior to traditional iodized salt. Himalayan salt is millions of years old and pure, untouched by many of the toxins and pollutants that pervade other forms of ocean salt.

Known in the Himalayas as “white gold,” Himalayan Crystal Salt contains the same 84 natural minerals and elements found in the human body. This form of salt has also been maturing over the past 250 million years under intense tectonic pressure, creating an environment of zero exposure to toxins and impurities.

Himalayan salt’s unique cellular structure allows it to store vibrational energy. Its minerals exist in a colloidal form, meaning that they are tiny enough for our cells to easily absorb.

Himalayan Crystal Salt: The Health Benefits

The health benefits of using natural Himalayan Crystal Salt may include:

Controlling the water levels within the body, regulating them for proper functioning.

Promoting stable pH balance in the cells, including the brain.

Encouraging excellent blood sugar health.

Aiding in reducing the common signs of aging.

Promoting cellular hydroelectric energy creation.

Promoting the increased absorption capacities of food elements within the intestinal tract.

Aiding vascular health.

Supporting healthy respiratory function.

Lowering incidence of sinus problems, and promoting over-all sinus health.

Reducing muscle cramps.

Increasing bone strength.

Naturally promoting healthy sleep patterns.

Creating a healthy libido.

In combination with water, it is necessary for blood pressure regulation.

Prevents cellulite, when compared to table salt.

Reduces chances of developing rheumatism, arthritis and gout, when compared to common chemically-treated salt.

Reduces chances of developing kidney and gall bladder stones when compared to common chemically-treated salt.

Table salt: “The Health Destroyer”

Many people are unaware that common table salt contains chemicals and even sugar! Salt is necessary but can be dangerous if taken in this chemical form.

Table salt is composed of 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals like iodine and absorbents, and sugar. Common salt is dried at more than 1,200 ° Fahrenheit, a process which zaps many of the natural chemical structures.

The table and cooking salt found in most homes, restaurants, and processed foods is void of nutritional value, lacking beneficial trace minerals. Processing salt turns it into sodium chloride, an unnatural salt the human body actually sees as a toxic invader! The body cannot dispose of it in a natural, healthy way which can lead to inflammation of the tissues, water retention and high blood pressure.

Processed salt crystals are also energetically dead, as their crystals are completely isolated from one another. For the body to metabolize chemical table salt, it must waste tremendous amounts of energy to keep the body at optimum fluid balance. This creates a burden on the elimination systems in the body. Water is removed from other cells in attempt to neutralize the unnatural sodium chloride.

Studies show that for each gram of table salt your system cannot process, your body will use over twenty times the amount of cellular water to neutralize the sodium chloride in chemically-treated salt. This can lead to cellulite, rheumatism, arthritis, gout, as well as kidney and gallbladder stones. The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium chloride a day, the issue is serious and needs to be adressed.

Choosing to use Himalayan Salt as an alternative can have a big impact on your total health and well-being. I only use and recommend Original Himalayan Crystal Salt.
