Himalayan rock salt is a healing mineral that has been used for centuries! It can be used to treat many ailments – from asthma, sinusitis, eczema, to improving bone strength, and even preventing muscle cramps.
The beautiful pink, red and white hues of himalayan rock salt are an indication of it’s rich mineral and and iron content.
You may have seen himalayan salt lamps around recently, as they are becoming more and more popular. Salt lamps are great for purifying the air and reducing electromagnetic radiation (EM). We are constantly exposed to EM everyday from our electronics. Salt lamps emit negative ions, which help to cancel out the positive ions that our electronics (cell phone, computer, TV) emit.
They also help to improve breathing and reduce symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, coughs and other respiratory ailments by filtering out dust, mould, mildew, and dander molecules.
Another benefit that I find with my himalayan salt lamp, is that the warm, low light is very relaxing for the evening. I like to have it on before I go to bed and during my yoga practice to help calm the mind and create a sleepy atmosphere.
When you use your himalayan rock salt inhaler, the negative ions that you are inhaling help to increase cilial activity in the trachea. This helps to flush out built up pollutants, dust, pollen, and any foreign particles that might be causing the irritation in your chest.
You can purchase a himalayan rock salt inhaler like this one here amazon, or at your local health food store!
