Ground to a fine powder with its delicate pink,  rose-like color, Himalayan salt is visually distinctive and a high  nutritional profile which contains a high number of essential minerals.

Himalayan salt has been used to help detoxify the  body. Most commonly done in the form of a bath, as the sodium binds the  water to the outer layer of your skin, moisture is preserved. Toxins are  released from your body, while your skin absorbs the healthy minerals  from the sodium into your body.

As a natural source of sodium, Himalayan salt  provides an essential mineral for healthy bodily functions. Sodium helps  to regulate blood volume and thus blood pressure, as well as helping to  control muscle contractions, nerve transmissions and heart functions.

Himalayan salt is widely touted for its mineral  content, containing 84 minerals in total. In addition to sodium,  Himalayan salt is relatively high in iron, magnesium, phosphorus,  calcium, potassium and chloride. It also contains traces of boron,  fluoride, iodine, zinc, selenium and copper, all of which are necessary  for bodily health. As a naturally occurring salt, Himalayan salt  contains all these minerals without chemical processing or refinement.
