Pink Himalayan salt contains over 84+ trace minerals necessary for our bodies to function, including iron, potassium and magnesium. Not only is Himalayan salt rich in minerals, but it also contains ionic properties that are thought to help detox and balance our bodies.
So, what are the best ways to use Himalayan salt to improve our overall health? From nourishing salt baths to drinking Himalayan salt water, keep reading to learn 4 incredible ways you can use Himalayan salt to support your wellness goals.
Start your morning with a glass of Himalayan sole
Sole (pronounced So-lay) is a salt water solution made with Himalayan salt crystals and is often referred to as “the water of life”. Drinking sole is thought to have a range of benefits for our physical health, including:- Balancing blood sugar levels
- Boosting mood and energy
- Improving digestion and circulation
- Aiding with weight loss
- Decreasing heavy metals in the body (such as mercury and lead)
Drinking a glass of sole each morning is a simple habit you can easily implement to improve your health.
Substitute table salt for Himalayan salt
One of the easiest ways you can introduce Himalayan salt into your daily routine is by using it as a direct substitute for table salt. Table salt is heavily processed and has lost most of its essential minerals. Alternatively, Himalayan pink salt is one of the purest salts on earth, and still retains over 84+ of its essential minerals (making it much healthier for our bodies!). Simply make the switch and replace all of your salt shakers with pink Himalayan salt - it’s a direct substitute, so can use the same quantities to gain the same flavour.
Cleanse and recharge with a Himalayan salt soak
Soaking in a Himalayan salt bath has been described as “recharging your batteries”. With its unique ionic properties, Himalayan salt is thought to detox the body and draw out toxins. Soaking in Himalayan salt can also be used to relieve sore muscles and promote soft, smooth and hydrated skin. You’ll want to make sure you use the correct amount of salt and only soak for 20 minutes at a time, because the effects can be strong!

Improve respiratory function with Himalayan Salt therapy
Did you know the process of inhaling salt (otherwise known as “salt therapy” or “halotherapy”) can improve our respiratory function? Salt therapy is thought to assist with relieving symptoms of asthma, allergies and sinus issues. While many people travel across the world to experience salt therapy at different “salt caves”, you can also use a Himalayan salt inhaler, Himalayan salt pipe or Himalayan salt lamp to reap the same benefits.
