Himalayan Salt: The Ultimate Detox
Last night I shared a quick post about Himalayan Salt Baths. I received numerous inquiries on questions about the benefits and whether this is truly a good detox, so I figured I would share with you all the powerful effects of Himalayan Salt.
Overall benefits of Himalayan salt include supporting weight loss, detox, and balanced hormones.
Regular table salt that we all use each day is stripped of all minerals and bleached, it is completely toxic and your body sees it that way. On the other hand, Sea salts, unfortunately, are becoming more and more polluted as the oceans fill up with toxins. Himalayan salt is mined from ancient sea beds, so it is pure from modern environmental toxins. It contains 84 trace minerals, plus a unique ionic energy that is released when the salt is mixed with water.
If you are someone who enjoys taking baths, adding Himalayan salt to your traditional bubble bath will add extreme benefits for you.
Adding himalayan salt to a bath creates a rejuvenating, detoxing, and relaxing at-home spa feeling. The salt water carries the electrical charge of the salt, along with the dissolved minerals. A salt bath helps draw out toxins, deep cleanses the skin, and helps cleanse the body energetically. You will be shocked how smooth your skin feels and how relaxed your muscles are. The feeling is almost comparable to taking a muscle relaxer.
This Himalayan salt bath is considered intense detoxing. Studies say that soaking in a warm bath for 30 mins with Himalayan salt is equivalent to a 3 day detox. And trust me, you’ll be sweating. I definitely suggest taking a quick rinse in the shower afterwards, as you will probably be sweating as much as if you were sitting in a sauna.
Another way to add Himalayan salt to your life is by eating it !!! Swap out Himalayan salt, for the completely refined table salt you use on a daily basis. People think that sodium is bad for you because increased sodium intake is linked to heart problems and blood pressure. However, sodium is essential to your body’s daily functioning in electrolyte and fluid balance and you should be getting around 2300mg daily (this is the body’s daily recommended intake for sodium) And switching out the table salt with Himalayan salt will add numerous benefits to your life.
Ingesting Himalayan salt will support thyroid and adrenal function, aids in overall hormone balance for men and women and supports a healthy and fast metabolism! What is better than that? And like i mentioned earlier, this salt contains 84 amazing trace minerals that will contribute to your body’s overall well being.
Here is the direct link to the brand of Himalayan salt i use. They sell the bath salts, salt grinders for cooking purposes, and so much more.
