Himalayan salt, also known as Pink salt, is considered as the most superior salt in Ayurveda. The color of the salt ranges from white to pink or dark red due to the high content of iron and other minerals present in it.
It is said to contain 84 minerals including calcium, chloride, sodium and zinc. It maintains electrolyte balance in the body, relieves muscle cramps and keeps the body hydrated.
Himalayan salt is beneficial for the formation and strengthening of bones due to its calcium and magnesium content.
Massaging your face with Himalayan salt helps to remove dead skin and cleanses the skin. It can also be used along with some carrier oil to massage joints to reduce stiffness. Soaking your feet in warm water containing Himalayan salt helps to get rid of edema due to its electrolyte balancing property.
It is advisable to avoid excessive intake of Himalayan salt as it may cause problems like high blood pressure and swelling.
