We use Himalayan crystal salt in our mineral bath soaks, our award-winning natural foot scrub and our organic body scrub.

Himalayan pink salt is a pure, hand-mined salt that is derived from ancient sea salt deposits. It is believed to be the purest form of salt available. The high mineral crystals range in color from sheer white, varying shades of pink, to deep reds; the result of high mineral and iron content.

Himalayan pink salt has long been recognised for its range of nutritional and therapeutic properties. It can be used to stimulate circulation, relax the body, lower blood pressure, sooth sore muscles, and remove toxins from the body.

It can also be used in bath salt recipes, body scrubs, aromatherapy, soap, and for all types of culinary and spa applications. You can also purchase salt lamps. Did you know that each pound of salt can help purify 10 square feet of living space?

Regular consumption of Himalayan pink salt provides essential minerals, trace elements, balances electrolytes, supports proper nutrient absorption, eliminates toxins, balances the body’s pH, normalises blood pressure, and increases circulation and conductivity. It can also assist with relief from arthritis, skin rashes, psoriasis, herpes, and flu and fever symptoms.

History of pink salt

Himalayan pink salt was originally formed from marine fossil deposits over 250 million years ago during the Jurassic era. Harvested from ancient sea beds, this rare and extraordinary salt has been a valuable commodity for centuries. Historically, the Himalayan people used this salt to preserve their fish and meat throughout the year, and every spring they transported the salt to Nepalese valleys for trade. Heavily burdened yaks would carry the salt along narrow sloping paths, mountains, and cliffs in order to sell and exchange the salt for other commodities.

Himalayan pink salt is still extracted from mines by hand, according to long-standing tradition, and without the use of any mechanical devices or explosion techniques. After being hand-selected, the salt is then hand-crushed, hand-washed, and dried in the sun.
