Himalayan salts hail from the Himalayan mountains and date back to 250 million years ago. What makes them so special?

Here’s the deal:

• Detoxes the body
• Relaxes muscles
• Treats skin concerns
• Increases blood circulation
• Hydrates skin

Let’s break it down.

Detoxifying your Body

Himalayan salt contains 84 naturally-occurring minerals, including macro-minerals and trace minerals, as well as elements that are beneficial to your health. While this salt is primarily composed of sodium (shocker!), it also includes potassium, calcium, copper, zinc, selenium, magnesium, fluoride and iron.

Upon dissolving in water, this salt extracts toxins from your skin and tissues. Thus, a Himalayan salt bath balances and restores your body’s pH levels.

Relaxing your Muscles

Magnesium can help reduce inflammation and soothe soreness from cramped, achy muscles. Meanwhile, the calcium in these salts helps strengthen bones, skin, and connective tissues.

Taking a warm pink Himalayan salt bath is ideal for relieving joint pain, especially for those who suffer from

• broken bones,
• arthritis,
• osteoarthritis,
• rheumatism,
• and other joint diseases.

However, anyone can benefit from bathing with these salts. Winding down a long day with a nice, warm brine bath is an effective way to relax tense muscles and banish tension.

Treatment for Skin Concerns

Himalayan pink salt has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, which helps treat skin problems like

• acne,
• psoriasis,
• eczema,
• recurring infections,
• poison oak or ivy irritations,
• insect bites,
• and blisters!

Wait, are you telling me these salts disinfect acne-prone skin and reduce breakouts? Yes! Who doesn’t want to kill off acne causing bacteria?!

Increasing Blood Circulation

You know those minerals we just talked about? Well, sodium helps regulate blood pressure and aids cardiovascular function. Increased blood circulation also gives skin a natural, youthful glow.

Exfoliating with Himalayan salt supports cellular regeneration, which further promotes new, healthy skin cell growth.

Hydrating your Skin

Bathing in Himalayan salt can increase skin hydration, leaving your body feeling smooth and young, as well as decrease redness and roughness. It can also reduce the appearance of wrinkles! Do I need to say more?

Does taking a pink Himalayan salt bath actually work?

Yes! I took a relaxing bath using these salts this morning and it left my skin feeling soft, eased my muscle tension, and gave my skin a natural glow. It’s been six hours since my bath and my body still feels relaxed, calm, and balanced.

Here are some of my tips for getting the most out of your salt bath:

• Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your bath, as your body is detoxing. For extra flavor and benefits, add some lemon to your water.
• Eat before you bathe. Make sure to eat a light, healthy meal before you take a bath to prevent getting dizzy from low sugar levels.
• Bathe for 15-20 minutes. This is the optimum amount of time for your body to benefit from the mineral rich water.
• Get out slowly. Since this is a detox bath, you may feel dizzy while standing up. Take your time getting out and hold on to a safety bar, if needed.
• Pat dry with a towel and rest. Let your body bask in the benefits of the bath by resting for at least 30 minutes before taking a shower.
