no impurities whatsoever. For thousands of years salt was used as a universal
remedy. Today, we see return to natural methods of healing and caring for our
bodies. Crystal salt can be found in bath salts and skin care products. The
salt helps maintain the water content in our bodies and therefore keeps a
healthy PH balance in our cells, especially in our brain cells which also
slows the aging process. Because of its many minerals, a lot of illnesses and
ailments can be cured with Himalayan crystal salt and natural mineral water.

Unhealthy PH Balance
People who experience unbalanced PH
levels are acidic but our body cells need to be slightly alkaline to function
properly. To remove the acid, the body is forced to get the necessary minerals,
such as calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium from vital organs and bones to
neutralize the acidic condition. In many cases the state of an acidic body goes
undetected for years. But this strain causes severe and prolonged damage to the
body which manifests itself in the form of kidney disease, allergies, obesity,
gastro-intestinal disorders, arthritis, gout, eye disease and premature aging.
Using natural rock salt like Himalayan crystal salt on a regular basis, with its more than 80 minerals can help keep the PH balance or even restore it to the ideal levels again as well as equalizing the fluid intake inside and around the body's cells. At the same time it can assist in removing heavy metals like highly dangerous and toxic lead, mercury, and arsenic.
To keep a healthy Ph balance mix one teaspoon of salt brine (How to make brine or sole appears at the end of the article) with a small glass of purified water or spring water and drink it every morning on an empty stomach. This mixture gives you energy for the whole day.

Digestive Disorder
It is well known, that only a certain
amount of food can be digested by our intestines. If we overeat or eat improper
food our body reacts with disorder or indigestion. Using the right salt can aid
the digestion of the food by stimulating the glands that produce digestive
juices and are responsible for a healthy digestion. Digestion is not possible
without salt. The salivary glands in the mouth start the digestion process.
Saliva contains an enzyme that begins to break up the starch in food into
smaller molecules.
Himalayan salt stimulates hydrochloric acid and an enzyme in the stomach, coming from the glands in the stomach lining. They digest the protein and also break down the food while stimulating the intestinal tract and liver, which aids the digestive process. Natural crystal salt supports a healthy balance in the body, prevents or even lowers high blood pressure and therefore makes it an indispensable and ideal food addition in everybody’s diet.
To keep a healthy digestion, drink a sole mix every morning before breakfast.

Prevention or elimination of muscle cramps
There are several different kinds of
muscle cramps. Cramps after an injury, during or after sports or with
unaccustomed activities, rest cramps which often occur during the night,
dehydration or liver cirrhosis. One cause of muscle cramps could be an
imbalance of electrolytes, overuse of the muscle or the body is lacking liquids
and minerals. Important minerals are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium.
Using Himalayan salt brine with more than 80 minerals can help restore the
mineral and nutrient levels that charge our body with energy and eliminate
cramps. One teaspoon of brine mixed with good mineral or spring water in the
morning before eating or drinking anything should show very quick results.
4.
Poor Vascular Health
Our vascular system is the most
important system in our body. It is made of veins and arteries which have to
carry oxygen-rich blood throughout the body to the vital organs, the brain and
the legs. An increasing buildup of plague in the arteries as we age, leads to
clogged veins, which get stiffer and narrower. Depending on your diet, body fat
and stress levels, this development can lead to high cholesterol and high blood
pleasure and in the worst case to stroke and heart attack. Water retention in
the body because of an unhealthy diet such as using toxic table salt can lead
to inflammation in the tissue, cellulite, problems walking, foot ulcers,
gangrene and even amputation.
It is always better to prevent any of these symptoms but if you already have any of the symptoms above, it is still possible to reverse them. Using natural crystal salt promotes a healthy balance within the body and does not contribute to high blood pressure. A teaspoon of salt brine mixed with mineral water or spring water in the morning on an empty stomach will soon show its effects in a stronger and healthy cardiovascular system and overall good health.

Headaches
Headaches can have many different
causes. Sleeping disorders or strained eyes caused by computer work or other
reasons. There are many remedies on the market of which aspirin is probably one
of the most popular. But many have side effects and there are big price
differences. One remedy you can always have at home and is very effective is
Himalayan salt. The use of crystal salt is an inexpensive and efficient remedy
for your headache concerns. Whether the headache is mild or severe doesn’t
matter.

Ear Infection
Ear infections are one of the most
common health problems both in children and adults. Ear infections are
considered a delicate infection in our body and if untreated and severe enough,
can lead to deafness. They are caused by bacterial or viral conditions like a
common cold. Pain and inflammation are the most evident symptoms. Other
symptoms are ear blockage or temporary hearing loss. Swimmers often experience
inflammation of the external ear canal.
To combat viruses and bacteria inside the ear, use salt brine (also called sole) made from Himalayan crystal salt, and use as ear-drops. The inflammation should be gone within a couple of days.

Dental Hygiene
In ancient times, people used salt as a
way to clean and strengthen their teeth and gums and prevent illnesses and
infections. In those days, rock salt was the salt used for cooking, cleaning
and to keep bad breath, cavities and tartar under control. Today, we should use
Himalayan crystal salt because of its many effective healing components. The
salt can be used as an alternative to toothpaste or as an additional solution.
Potassium, one of the minerals in the salt prevents the gums from bleeding,
while calcium together with the other minerals strengthen and whiten teeth.
Use the undiluted sole to brush your teeth to make them whiter and cleaner and to freshen your breath.

Dry cough
One of the fastest but very effective home remedies to get rid of dry cough is to dissolve one teaspoon of Himalayan Salt in one cup of very warm water. The water should be as warm as you can take it because you have to gargle with it. Gargle with the salt water until the cup is empty. Repeat as often as necessary but try not to drink the water. It is not poisonous but it could cause diarrhea.
9.
Sore Throat
Painful throat swelling and difficulty in eating and
drinking are indicators that the throat is infected by either virus or
bacteria. There is a lot of medicine on the market but one of the best,
cheapest and most effective is to treat the infection with sole solution. As we
know, Himalayan crystal salt can battle viruses, bacteria and fungi. Mix the
salt brine with some warm water and use it for gargling to kill the infection.
10.
Menstrual Pains
Himalayan crystal salt can help women
with premenstrual and menstrual disorders and stomach aches, using a salt
sachet and heating it up in warm water or in the microwave. You can also warm
the brine solution up and put it the liquid on a small towel. Place it on the
stomach or abdomen for thirty minutes to let solution stabilize the body fluids
and ease the pressure and stress on the muscles.
11.
Chronic Respiratory Illness
Chronic respiratory disease such as
bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma and allergies can be a heavy burden in everyday
life. Regular use of sole steam that is inhaled helps to loosen up blocked up
air and nasal passages that lead to the respiratory system. Mix a table spoon
of Himalayan crystal salt with approximately 1 ½ liters of hot water in a bowl.
Use a towel over your head and the bowl and inhale the sole steam. If the steam
is too hot, put a towel over the steaming bowl and inhale the steam through the
towel. Continue for about 30 minutes or until the blockages are out and you can
breathe easily again. A pinch of Himalayan Crystal Salt on the tongue will stop
persistent dry coughs nearly immediately.
12.
Foot fungus
Foot fungus, also called Athlete’s foot
is a common dermatitis of the webs of the toes, nails and soles of the feet. If
left untreated athlete’s foot can spread to the groin, palm or other parts of
the body. This kind of infections is very contagious and is spread by walking
barefoot on contaminated objects and floors, for example public shower rooms in
gyms, hotel rooms etc. It may cause itching, burning, pain and scaling, the
toenails get thicker, disfigured or cracked and give off a foul odor.
First, mix one part vinegar to four parts very warm water and soak feet in it for 20-30 minutes, twice a day. After drying of your feet, rub salt brine on the affected regions. Vinegar creates an inhospitable environment for the fungus, but the Himalayan crystal salt is what kills it because it absorbs the humidity out of things. Without the damp, fungus cannot survive.

Eliminate your Psoriasis and Acne Problems forever
Taking a mixture of one teaspoon of
sole in a small glass of water every morning will provide nutrients and
elements to the skin helping and preventing common skin conditions.
Nevertheless as we age, skin can get dry, wrinkles appear and all kinds of skin
problems show up.
Himalayan crystal salt brine supports the treatment of psoriasis by balancing the skin’s acid mantle for regeneration and optimum healing of damaged cells. The salt helps to increase circulation to the affected areas, detoxifying the skin so that minerals can be absorbed easily. It supplies the dermal cells with necessary nutrition and sufficient supply of minerals that are essential for optimum skin health such as: Zinc, Sulfur, Iodine and Chromium.
Zinc promotes a healthy immune system, the healing of wounds and tissues and helps prevent scarring. By regulating the activity of the oil glands it helps prevent acne.
Sulfur is a mineral without which we suffer from dry scalps, rashes, eczema and acne. It keeps skin clear and smooth.
Iodine increases oxygen consumption and the metabolic rate of the skin and therefore helps the healing of skin infections.
Chromium reduces skin infections and fights acne.
Use salt brine (slightly diluted -1 tsp. sole, 1 tblsp. water) and dab it on the affected areas or use the undiluted solution. The solution helps cleaning and detoxifying from the outside. For larger areas use a bowl and soak the parts in it or take a sole bath.

Himalayan salt as a bone strength booster
Generally, peak bone mass is reached by
both genders between the age of 25 and 35 years. With progressing age heavy
toxins accumulate in the joints and eat away at our joints due to lack of
minerals in the food supply, wrong food choices, lack of physical activity and
dropping hormone levels. Our body becomes depleted of vital minerals and as a
result our bones get demineralized. The consequences are weak and brittle
bones, the joints become causing arthritis or bones that break easily. Bone
loss as a skeletal disease is considered a silent disease because its condition
is created over many years and in most cases is not diagnosed until a broken
wrist, hip or leg occurs.
It is always better to prevent bone loss by using Himalayan salt in the daily diet because the salt contains eleven minerals which are important for healthy bones such as: Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Sulfur, Silicon, Zinc, Copper, Phosphorus, Iodine, Vanadium, and Fluoride. It is recommended to switch from table salt to Himalayan salt. A daily mixture of one teaspoon of sole and mineral- or spring water in the morning on an empty stomach will be able to reverse and even cure arthritis or other bone related illnesses.

Fight Diabetes & Normalizes Blood Sugar
Himalayan crystal salt is a vital
factor for balancing the sugar levels in the blood, a needed element in
diabetics. Blood sugar levels in the body that are too high or too low cause
great disadvantages which, if not treated can develop into diabetes. Even if
diabetes is already diagnosed, it can be reversed and the ideal balance in the
body can be restored. Responsible are four minerals out of the 84 in Himalayan
salt that maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
Chromium turns carbohydrates into glucose and helps regulate the production of insulin.
Magnesium helps to digest sugar, starches and fats and therefore stabilizes blood sugar levels.
Vanadium has shown insulin-like effects on the glucose metabolism.
Manganese maintains blood glucose levels in the normal range.
Drinking one teaspoon of sole mixed with mineral- or spring water every morning and using Himalayan crystal salt in your daily diet will show a positive effect within a few weeks.

How
to make sole or salt brine
Having a jar of sole in your kitchen is
a very handy health remedy for all kinds of ailments and it is easy to make. If
you keep it in a jar or glass bottle with a wide neck and a screw top or a lid
you don’t have to worry about the water evaporating.
First put about 1 inch of Himalayan crystal salt stones, ground salt or just salt into a glass jar.
Add about 3 inches of purified water or spring water over the stones or salt, completely covering the crystals. Let the mixture sit for about 24 hours.
Keep adding more salt crystals to the water if they are dissolved until it gets to a stage where the salt will no longer dissolve and stays on the bottom. When salt stays on the bottom and cannot dissolve, it means that the water is fully saturated and cannot hold anymore. Make sure there are always salt crystals on the bottom and when you use the brine just add more water and more salt. Salt crystals on the bottom are an indicator that the water is totally saturated with salt.
In the morning, mix one teaspoon of sole with a glass of purified water or spring water and drink it on an empty stomach. This drink will give your body energy for the next 24 hours and will keep you healthy and fit.
As a natural anti–bacterial and natural fungicide, the sole cannot spoil or go bad and will keep forever.
