Himalayan salt remains untainted by pollution in the deep recess of the earth where its hand mined and reaches us in the same pristine condition retaining all of its constituent elements that make it so immensely beneficial.

Neti pot and himalayan salt

For those of you who dont know Neti Pot is a nasal irrigation device commonly referred to as nasal douche. The device consists of a pouch like structure that holds water and ends in an elongated bent tube which is inserted in the nose to flush out excessive build of mucus and debris. When neti pot is used in conjuction with Himalayan salt solution it can reduce seasonal allergies and prevent sinus infection. The neti pot is not to be used on a daily basis and should be utalized only in case of nasal congestion. The solution of himalayan salt should be prepared in boiled water or distilled water for achieving maximum effect.

Himalayan salt detoxer

Got an ache in your foot accompanied by inflammation that just wont go away? What you need is a himalayan salt detoxer. The detoxer typically consists of a dome like hollowed out piece of himalayan salt crystal with a bulb fixed at the base. When this bulb is turned on it heats the salt crystal which then releases negative ions immensely beneficial for well being. Just place your foot on the crystal dome when its warm and feel the negative ions flowing in. Alternatively if you cant get your hands on a detoxer you could simply purchase a himalayan salt block, heat it in the oven till its tolerably warm and place your feet (or hands) on it and get the same results.
