Pretty Pink Himalayan Salt

Everyone needs a little salt in their lives, our bodies are not able to function without it. Salt itself is over 250 million years old and comes from many different sources including the sea, land and space. There are many different types of salts with many different uses. The salt which is your store bought, table salt or the salt added to processed food is actually made up of 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% of other chemicals such as moisture absorbents and iodine. Our bodies have a hard time ‘breaking down’ these unnatural particles using 23 times the amount of water from our cells to neautriize the unnatural sodium chloride. The end result is an in balance in the fluid within our cells.

Excess sodium chloride within our bodies can cause cellulite, arthritis, gout, kidney and gall bladder stones. No thanks!

The elements inside the salt are so small they are known as colloidal form meaning they can be readily absorbed by our bodies.

-Regulating the water content within our bodies
-Promoting healthy pH balance in your cells
