Uses/Applications

The best way to start incorporating unrefined salts such as Himalayan and Celtic sea salt into your diet is first by replacing your normal salt with these mineral rich types. You can use these salts just as you would any other type by using them directly on food, in recipes where salt is called for and so on.

The most common way Himalayan salt is used for healing is by the use of Sole (so-lay) which means soup of life. Sole is a mixture of water and crystal salt at a specific concentration. Here’s the instructions on how to make up a batch of sole, you’ll need a sealable glass container, Himalayan rock salts and a bottle of spring water.

Fill a glass container with several crystal stones. Add spring water to cover the stones and more. After 24 hours if the crystal salt has dissolved fully add a few more. When the water can no longer dissolve anymore salt crystals, they will sit at the bottom of the jar without dissolving. This is when your sole solution is ready and saturated at 26%. The dosage is one teaspoon in a glass of water on an empty stomach each morning.

The next most common way is through the use of Himalayan crystal salt baths. These strong detox baths are amazing at relieving stress and alleviating skin disorders. Users have quoted that bathing for 15-30 minutes feels equal to fasting for 3 days and i would go as far as saying their bang on their money. Some of the benefits of using the crystal salt in your bath is increased circulation, hydrate the skin and help numerous skin conditions, reduce inflammation and relieve muscular pain.

Their are many different guidelines on the internet for how much salt to use per bath, some say 1-2 cups is enough whilst others will recommend you use a kilogram to get the right concentration. I prefer to use somewhere in between as the detox is very strong.
