Nutritionally
Table salt is chemically processed, bleached and devoid of other nutrients found in natural salt. That’s why our bodies don’t recognize it as a whole substance and we have negative reactions when consuming this processed nutrient.
Himalayan salt crystals were formed when the sea was dried by the sun and protected within the Himalayan Mountains over 6 million years ago. Imagine that! We have the opportunity to consume the life formations found on earth that long ago. Mineral evaluation of this salt has shown up to 94 trace elements.
When you combine this salt with high quality water, and make a Sole’ solution, the minerals are released in the whole form your body recognizes. Mineral sufficiency balances homoeostasis in the body, or the body’s ability to heal and repair itself. Consuming a small amount of this Sole’ solution could offer a number of health benefits.

Respiration
Salt and water are possibly the most available and effective expectorants known. Salt’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties make it a safe and natural solution for respiratory irritants. Asthma medications contain saline as a base for nebulizer treatments, Halotherapy research has shown positive results in patients with chronic bronchitis, and our ancestors have been using saline in Netti pots and mouth gargling for years.
Dermatological
Skin is the largest organ and protects our bodies from toxins. It excretes toxins from the body and absorbs minerals. This is a lot of work! When the toxic exposure outside or inside causes unbalance, skin disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis occur. Salt helps to balance the pH of our skin allowing it to heal and better protect us from environmental and internal toxins.
