Umoyo’s Pink Himalayan Salt is extracted from ancient salt mines in the Himalayan Mountains in South Asia. The salt is believed to have been formed millions of years ago from the evaporation of ancient bodies of water. The salt is hand extracted and minimally processed to yield an unrefined product that is free of additives, unlike most table salt that goes through several synthetic processes, such as bleaching to make it white and the addition of anti-clumping chemical agents. 

It is the natural harvesting process of Himalayan Salt that allows it to retain all its natural properties. Indeed it is estimated that it contains 84 different minerals and trace elements that are beneficial to our health. In fact, it is these very minerals, especially Iron, that gives it it’s characteristic pink colour. 

Compare this to regular table salt, where the synthetic processes strip out all other essential minerals and natural properties, while concentrating Sodium Chloride. 

As such, Himalayan Salt is considered a more natural and healthier alternative to regular table salt. You can use it in your cooking as well as to add extra flavour at the table. 

Replenishment Of Electrolytes 

Being out in the sun for too long may leave you dehydrated, low in electrolytes from perspiration, while also increasing your overall oxidative stress. Due to its wide range of minerals and trace elements, Pink Himalayan Salt can quickly help replenish lost electrolytes and help restore equilibrium. Just mix half a teaspoon of Pink Himalayan Salt in a glass of water. You can also add some lemon and honey if you wish. This is also a great electrolyte drink for sports people who sweat a lot and don’t want to consume the commercial varieties that are laden with sugar and chemicals.

Mineral Baths. 

A mineral bath with Umoyo’s Pink Himalayan Salt can provide soothing relief for several conditions. It’s antimicrobial properties make it beneficial in the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema, acne, and psoriasis, while the magnesium in the salt helps reduce skin inflammation. 

Himalayan Salt Baths also create a relaxing and calming effect through the generation of negative ions, which helps reduce fatigue, stress and even pain. Great for your emotional well-being & health!

You can prepare for your mineral bath by rinsing off in the shower to remove any dirt, oils, and cosmetic products from your body. Then fill the tub with very warm water and add the Himalayan salt to the bathwater, following package instructions, usually a handful of salt. Let it dissolve and then dive in! Soak your body in the tub for about 10 to 30 minutes.

Salt Lamps

Himalayan salt lamps are believed to be natural ionizers since they change the electrical charge of the circulating air. When turned on, the lamps release negative ions, which are very beneficial to our bodies. Here is why: In the digital world of today, we spend a lot of time in front of digital devices that release positive ions that have been shown to cause inflammation and negatively influence overall health.

As Himalayan salt lamps release negative ions, they help neutralize this positive charge, in effect resulting in an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. 

Himalayan salt lamps also improve air quality which has been shown to be beneficial to people suffering with allergies and respiratory conditions such as asthma, colds & flu. 

Salt lamps have also been shown to help boost mood and improve relaxation, similar to Himalayan Salt baths, as discussed above. 

To get the benefits of using a salt lamp, simply place it on your desk next to your computer or next to your bed. They are beautiful to look at too!

Pink Himalayan salt is a distinct variety of salt with several essential minerals and elements that are naturally occurring. Although these minerals are in small amounts, they play quite a vital role in the normal functioning of the body. Make the right choice for your body today and make it a part of your life.
