* Himalayan salt is a healthier alternative to your average table salt

You may think that white, processed table salt is as good as it gets and all that you need. After all, with its widespread use in food and constant presence on the dinner table, what could be better? Well, the answer to that is a salt that is mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan – better known as Pink Himalayan Salt.
This salt alternative is easily identified by its pink color and comes with a range of uses and health benefits not offered by your average sodium chloride. Some of the benefits you may see by consuming this unrefined and near pure form of salt include improved natural digestion, sleep induction and a more balanced body pH. Plus, the mined salt doesn’t suffer from environmental toxins you might find in sea salt.
This versatile salt doesn’t just get consumed, either. It can be used in a range of other products, including relaxing lamps and homemade body scrubs. Try switching out your average salt for this beneficial salt option and discover the positive effects inside and out.
