Salama Pink Himalayan Sea Salt - Coarse

But the benefits of this rock salt go far beyond a pretty aesthetic: Whether you consume it, apply it to your skin, or add it to your bath, Salama Pink Himalayan Salt can naturally do your body good in a number of ways. Read on for six easy ways to reap the benefits.
What is pink Himalayan salt, exactly?Found near the Himalayan foothills in a region of Pakistan, pink Himalayan salt is minimally processed and gets its characteristic rosy hue from a wide range of trace minerals, including magnesium and potassium. What's more, Himalayan salt can improve your skin or replenish you after a bout of illness, according to Elizabeth Taddiken, ND, a naturopathic physician at the Rockwood Natural Medicine Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. 
The benefits of pink Himalayan salt
Soak your feet in it
Pink Himalayan salt can help your skin retain moisture, which makes it an ideal ingredient for a spa-like soak. Treat your feet by soaking them in warm water saturated with the salt (think 1/8 cup of pink Himalayan salt per gallon of water), adding magnesium flakes if desired. “This can help relieve painful, tired feet after a long day,” says Taddiken. “In general, combining magnesium flakes with pink Himalayan salt allows for better absorption of the minerals, and it can help you hydrate your skin all over.”
Make a refreshing facial spray
Get little bursts of bliss throughout your day with this easy DIY facial spray: In an 8-oz spray bottle, mix 1 Tbsp pink Himalayan salt and 1 tsp magnesium flakes with 1 cup warm distilled water, then add 3 to 5 drops essential oil such as lavender, mint, or eucalyptus, suggests Taddiken. Spritz on your face or body throughout the day, massaging into the skin as needed.
Scrub your body with it
The exfoliating texture of pink Himalayan salt will leave you with silky soft skin. As a bonus, regular exfoliation can actually boost your production of collagen, the protein that keeps skin smooth, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Try this DIY body scrub from Taddiken: Combine 1 cup fine- or medium-grain pink Himalayan salt, ¼ cup olive oil, and 10 drops essential oil. Wet skin, then apply scrub in circular motions, avoiding broken skin, to remove dead skin cells. 
Boost your electrolytes
Skip the Gatorade—a Himalayan salt elixir is a more natural way to help restore electrolyte levels when they’re low. Combine 2 cups purified water, 1/2 cup fresh orange or lemon juice, 1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt, and 1 Tbsp honey. “This can be beneficial for those who are exercising a lot, or for someone who has a viral illness like cold or flu,” says Taddiken. (But if you have a condition such as hyper­tension or kidney disease, talk to your doctor before increasing your salt consumption.)
Soothe a sore throat
Mom was right when she told you to gargle saltwater to soothe a sore throat. Although it’s not a cure-all for immediate relief, saltwater can help kill bacteria, loosen mucus, and ease pain, according to Penn State Medicine. Just mix 1/2 teaspoon of finely ground pink Himalayan salt with a cup of warm water and gargle.
Bliss out in a Himalayan salt room
You may notice that more spas are offering Himalayan salt rooms, where you zone out in a man-made salt cave. Some experts believe it may relieve symptoms of COPD or asthma, according to the American Lung Association. The theory: When you inhale tiny salt particles, they’ll pull water into your airways, thinning out mucus and reducing inflammation in the process.
Although there isn’t much evidence to back up salt therapy (also known as halotherapy) yet, relaxing in one of these rooms could simply make you feel better through a placebo effect. If anything, you’ll have around 45 minutes of uninterrupted serenity in a blissful salt cave—which may be worth a visit in and of itself. Just be sure to check with your doctor before going if you have a respiratory, heart, or kidney condition.
