As discussed in previous articles the value of salt to ones health and body is nothing less then essential and necessary. This is indisputable, but what is up for negotiation and debate is the value of different varieties of salt and what they have to offer us. This article about Himalayan Crystal Salt and why you should consider this salt as one of the best salt options available.
Himalayan crystal salt, also known as Himalayan pink crystal salt is a full spectrum salt. You can probably guess what full spectrum means; it means ‘to include everything’. Now when you make a sandwich for lunch including everything is hardly the most appealing of ideas, but when it comes to minerals and nutrients for our bodies it’s a different story. We are creatures whose existence in inextricably linked with water, salt and a composition of building blocks that are our bodies. Enter Himalayan Crystal Salts.
Deep in the Himalayan mountain range is where this gift from Mother Earth is mined and collected for our use. Himalayan crystal salts, when well cared for, are stone ground rather then ground by machines and metal objects. A good pink Himalayan sea salt, of which there are a few, are not mixed with any other salts and are purely from this one source. The reason why this source offers such a delicious and nutritious element like salt is because these salt deposits are over 200 million years in age meaning that the salt is free from common day pollutants. Pre-industrial earth was likely pristine in many ways and so are it’s storehouses from that time. Perhaps that is why it is sometimes referred to as ‘White Gold’.
This salt proudly boasts a full 84 minerals and trace minerals for your system. I’m a big advocate of getting nutrients directly from food vs. from supplements, and this is a case where that is possible. This mineral composition matches that of what was originally found in the ‘Primal Sea’, long before human pollution. Himalayan crystal sea salts appear pinkish in color which is the minerals showing up – this is a good thing! Also if you have a good quality sea salt it too will have different tones and colors mixed into it, making it appear brownish at times.
The power of this small, useful and eternally popular molecule salt, can be further explored by reading the book ‘Water and Salt’.
