Lick Salt

Posted on April 12, 2016 by Danish Maqbool Posted in Lick Salt Leave a comment

Mined from the vast and ancient Himalayan mountains, these salt licks are a 550 million year old source of minerals and trace elements for your horse or pony. The distinctive rose pink color comes from the salt’s high mineral content, including iron, potassium, and magnesium, which are all vital for maintaining health. Mass-produced salt licks are produced using salt with minerals added in during the manufacturing process, but that’s not the case with Himalayan salt, where the minerals are naturally found within the salt. Himalayan rock salt licks are literally “rock hard,” meaning that horses and ponies are unable to bite chunks off the block, a problem than can occur with softer “pressed” salt licks. These salt licks are also more weather resistant, which means they can be safely left outside in the field for horses to “self-dose.” We’ve found that horses like them more than other salt licks! Available in mini (1.63 lbs), small (2.2 lbs), medium (6.6 lbs) or block (4.4 lbs, 2”x4”x8”). The small and medium licks include a rope and the mini salt lick is pre-drilled with a hole but does not come with a rope. The 4.4 lb block fits in most standard salt lick holders and does not come with a rope.

Farmers have historically provided Himalayan salt licks for their cattle, horses, and other herbivores to encourage healthy growth and development. Typically a Himalayan salt lick in the form of a block is used in these circumstances, and the block may be mounted on a platform so that domesticated animals do not consume dirt from the ground along with the necessary salt. Salt blocks for farm animals can also be treated with medications, which may be convenient when someone needs to medicate shy animals, or a large group of animals.

While salt deficiency isn’t a common problem for humans, lactating cows are particularly vulnerable to it. Every day, they need salt to make milk which contains a good bit of sodium and chloride. If cows don’t get enough salt, the first sign would be a loss of appetite and weight. In time, cows craving salt would start eating odd materials like dirt, rocks and wood to try to satisfy their instinctive taste for salt. A lack of salt can initiate a number of debilitating diseases and even death.

Wild and fenced deer often suffer from salt deficiency. A lack of salt and minerals can result in reduced body weight and poor reproduction. A salt deficiency is expressed by licking foreign objects or even road salt in winter and can lead to a loss in appetite, reduced body weight, rough coat, poor reproduction and a decreased disease resistance. The need for salt differs per animal and is dependent on many unsure and uncontrollable factors. The natural nutrition of wild game does often not fulfill the mineral and trace element needs of the animals.

Himalayan Natural salt licks in the wild serve as a gathering place for various animals that make their way there to satisfy their craving and the needs of their bodies, particularly during a harsh winter. Salt is needed for the proper development and maintenance of bones, muscles, circulatory systems and even the nervous systems.

We normally think of salt more as a warm weather requirement. Horses do require about 1-2 ounces of salt per day to provide help meet their requirement for sodium and chloride. This requirement can increase to 4-6 ounces of salt per day in hot climates or under exercise where losses in sweat increase greatly. Inadequate salt in the diet can result in abnormal eating behavior such as licking or chewing objects which have salt on them (fork handles etc.) or licking/eating dirt. Water intake may also decrease, increasing the risk of impaction colic. In more extreme cases, horses will stop eating and may experience muscle in coordination.

Khalid Maqbool & Sons provides minerals that are essential for muscle, nerve and immune system functions, healthy coats and sound reproductive health. Because cattle actually seek out salt, it can be very useful as a carrier for other essential nutrients.

Himalayan Salt Licks are a completely natural product. They are the world’s cleanest source of raw, pure natural salt.

Trust your animal’s instinct

Free choice, they “lick it as they need it”

Natural electrolytes for Balance

Chemical free, no sweeteners

Encourages Water Intake

Durable and Rain Tolerant

Easy to hang, easy to handle

Why use Himalayan salt lick?

Minerals are essential for animal health and superior performance, including disease resistance, fertility, milk production, weight gain and skeletal development.

The principal purpose of Himalayan salt lick is to act as a nutritional buffer between an animal and its feed.

Himalayan salt licks are designed to compensate for an inherent or seasonal lack of certain minerals, as well as for the frequent and sometimes rapid changes that occur in pasture mineral levels.

Himalayan salt licks are palatable to livestock and provide a formulated balance of certain major and trace elements.

Himalayan salt licks are proven to enhance livestock condition.

Pink Salt Lamps

Pink Salt Lamps

Himalayan salt is a term for halite (commonly known as rock salt, pink salt, Himalayan pink salt from Pakistan which is the mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCI). This mineral rich salt is mined from the second largest mine in the world, called the Khewra Salt Mines which is located in the Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan. It is generally mined by hand to help preserve the chemical structure It is closely located (approximately 300 km) from majestic the Himalayan Mountains which are known to contain the purest form of salt on Earth, Himalayan salt. Historically, this rare salt has been used for centuries as a trading tool. Every spring the Himalayan people would transport the salt through sloping paths, mountain edges and narrow bumpy roads to the Nepalese valleys for trade. It was an extremely important commodity as it could be traded for anything.

Have you heard of salt therapy before? Also known as halotherapy, it’s an ancient practice that involves cleansing and purifying the air, and our bodies, using large pink Himalayan salt lamps placed in a space. It’s been shown to ease anxiety, skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, congestion, colds, sinus infections, insomnia, bronchitis and ear infections, among many other issues.

How do Himalayan Pink Salt Lamps Work?
Water vapour is always circulating in the air of any room of your house. This water vapour carries with it allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke particles, and even bacteria and viruses.

Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts water molecules from the surrounding air. A large block of rock salt, like a Himalayan pink salt lamp, is especially attractive to water vapour and its pollutants.

Once attracted to the pink salt lamp, these microscopic compounds remain on the salt and not floating in the air where you can breathe them in.

As Himalayan pink salt lamps slowly become saturated with water vapour they attract from the air around them, the heat, from the lamp inside or beneath, dries them, thus continuing the hygroscopic effect for as long as the light is on.

This heat also re-releases water vapour back into the air. Importantly, any airborne contaminants attracted to the pink salt lamp remain trapped there and will not become airborne again.

The Dangers of Positive Ions

Positive ions are created by electronic devices and have been dubbed ‘electronic smog’ or ‘electronic air pollution’. As we all know, we are increasingly surrounded by all sorts of computers, large screen TVs, telephones, microwaves and other appliances we now deem necessary for our survival and entertainment.Studies have shown that your brain gets bombarded by frequencies 20 times higher than its optimal frequency, which results in all sorts of problems, including insomnia, nervousness and allergies.
In short, positive ions are very harmful to us and need to be neutralized.
Role of Negative Ions

Negative ions are actually something that we need to help balance ourselves because we are bombarded with positive ions, especially from the electronics we’re surrounded by all day long. Having more negative ions in your environment actually has beneficial biochemical effects for us.
We want to have those negative ions within our space because it helps increase certain hormones in our physical body that actually benefit us in lots of ways like Serotonin. which alleviates depression if you’re Serotonin levels are balanced. It’s also been said that a healthy balance of negative ions can:
Freshen and deodorize indoor air
Remove airborne germs and contaminants
Promote better sleep
Reduce microscopic allergens like dust, pet dander, mold and mildew
Increase blood flow and oxygen supply throughout the body

How to care your pink salt lamp?
To clean, switch pink salt lamp off and wipe with a slightly damp sponge
Leave pink salt lamp on wherever possible as the heat from the light bulb will prevent the salt lamp absorbing moisture
If pink salt lamp gets wet leave in strong sunlight for 4 to 5 hours and brush off any excess crystals
When not in use for long periods, disconnect your power cable and remove from the salt lamp, and store the salt lamp and base in a plastic bag to help prevent the salt lamp absorbing moisture
In humid conditions we recommend placing your pink salt lamp onto a small tray or dish in the rare case they may pool water

Research results:
It’s a well know fact that, through scientific and empirical research, pink salt lamps exhibit biophysical characteristics, which demonstrate a positive effect on our well-being. From a scientific view there are three natural action principles at play: ionization, the electromagnetic oscillation and the transparent-crystalline structure developing the light waves.

Crystal Salt Lamps

Salt Lamps

Two thousand years ago, the Himalayan mountains revealed one of their oldest deepest secrets: a 260 million year old salt crystal deposit. The salt is traditionally mined reaching the depths of 700-1100 meters. This allows for all the natural benefits of the salt with a guarantee that there is no toxic contamination. The salt negatively ionize the air counteracting detrimental positive ionization.For decades the beneficial effects of the negative ions the salt emits has been known to alleviate symptoms related to medical ailments and psychiatric disorders. The salt also minimizes the effects of radiation from electronic devises placed by a television, computer, microwave, or any electronic equipment.

Crystal salt is one of the few minerals whose atomic structure is bound electrically, not molecularly.

This characteristic of the mineral structure enables the crystal to change back and forth from crystalline to liquid state.

The gentle heat of the lamp in the salt crystal creates a higher surface temperature than the surrounding air. This attracts the water molecules in the cooler surrounding air. The natural humidity in the air condenses on the crystal’s surface. This enables the electrically bound sodium chloride mineral to split into independent (positive) sodium and (negative) chloride ions.

The air we breath consists of ions that carry either a positive or a negative electrical charge. Computers, TV sets, air conditioners and many other by- products of modern living produce positively ionized air, which is detrimental to our health. Negatively ionized air is generated by environments such as mountains, the seaside and waterfalls, and by means such as thunderstorms, gentle heat and Crystal salt Lamps.

Crystal Salt lamps produce both gentle heat and negatively-charged ions. They make it easy for you to bring the benefits of famous health spas into your own home! In addition to the proven benefits of negative ionization, many people also experience a reduction in stress due to the gentle, soothing colours

The Healing Effect of Colors on our Body and Mind
Orange – Facilitates a feeling of security and is helpful to our nervous system and our mind and activates the kidneys and bladder.
Yellow – Encourages intellectual comprehension and activates the pancreas, liver and gall bladder.
Red – Strengthens the vital life force and activates the heart and circulation.
Pink – Supports the sense of partnership and love and opens your emotional body.
White – Has a cleansing and detoxifying effect and represents the healing aspect.
Brown – Helps to find ones own balance and supports earthiness

Crystal Salt lamps work well in most conditions, however as salt is hygroscopic. Crystal salt lamps should not be used outdoors or in areas of high humidity such as bathrooms. Nor should they be placed next to water features, fish tanks, evaporation coolers etc.

If your crystal salt clamp becomes dusty, gently wipe down with a damp cloth. Don’t wash with water as this will dissolve the salt. If your lamp gets wet, switch off the power source, remove the cord and bulb and dry with a cloth. You may lightly use a scorer on excessive dirt. Then allow the crystal salt lamp to dry naturally (indoors) or by replacing the globe and cord and activating the lamp.

As with any electrical device, if you believe that water may have entered the socket, switch, or power cable, proceed with caution. Switch off the crystal salt lamp at the wall and replace the cord and globe immediately.

When not in use, consider storing your crystal salt lamp in a plastic bag to help prevent weeping or sweating.

Crystal Salt lamp globes keep best if the lamp is in a stationary position and not subject to vibration. If the globe fails often, please check that it is screwed in firmly and that it is not touching the surface of the lamp.

Take care when placing crystal salt lamps on delicate surfaces, particularly if you have a lamp with a stone base.

Crystal Salt Lamps are hand carved salt crystals from the Salt Mine in Khewra Pakistan. The warmth and natural beauty of the glow provided by these crystal salt lamps makes them a wonderful accent for any room. They provide a natural ambiance that enhances home and office, and are a perfect answer for providing Feng Shui cures for buildings that have “stuck” energy.
Crystal Salt lamps make the perfect gift. Everyone is attracted to them and people naturally feel uplifted and happier in the presence of Crystal Salt Lamps.

Crystal Salt lamps already contains minute amounts of water dispersed throughout the extremely fine crystal structure, but it is looking for more. When using a Crystal Salt Lamp this “affinity” for water can be amplified many times in potency. The heat generated by the low wattage light bulb burning inside the Crystal Salt Lamp has the effect of “turning on” the crystal, so that it attracts the water vapor in the room at an even greater amount than when unlit. With the Crystal Salt Lamp now drawing larger quantities of vapor towards itself, the vapor, and anything hitching a ride on it (such as bacteria or pollen) will momentarily condensate on the surface of the Crystal Salt Lamp. This results in a microscopic pool of water, which then immediately dissolves the salt it contacts, forming a “salt solution.”

Benefits of Crystal Salt Lamp:

Prevention of allergy symptoms and improved air quality
Increased serotonin levels to aid in healthy sleep patterns
Improved energy and mood
Decreased blood pressure
Supported immune system, respiratory function, and vascular health
reductions in rheumatism, migraine, physical and psychological disorders, mild depression

Salt Lamps

Have you ever noticed how mentally and physically refreshed you feel after sitting by a gashing waterfall? Or how you experience a boost in energy after spending some time at an untamed seafront? What makes you feel so good in spots of this kind is the abundance of negative ions, which get produced in some natural places.

Now, there is a way to mimic these perfect circumstances in your own home and indoor places where you spend a lot of time. Himalayan Salt lamps have the ability to chemically and physically transform a room, and have unique healing effects.
What is a Salt Lamp?

Salt lamps are hand chiseled solid blocks of ancient crystal salts like this. They have a beautiful pink color, often pinkish orange, due to the high concentration of minerals.

Inside the hollowed out middle of the salt lamp is a light bulb to generate both light and heat. This is important for their reported benefits and salt lamps won’t work properly without a heat-producing light.

Salt lamps also come in decorative baskets of crystal salt, with a light and heat source underneath that creates a soft pink glow.
How do Himalayan salt lamps work?

Salt is hygroscopic, so the Salt lamps attract water molecules from the air; this means the salt lamps trap dirt, pollen, and smoke particles which are carried in water vapor.

Once these airborne contaminants have been locked in the salt, clean water is re-released and thus it has a purifying effect on the air. Theoretically that is.

Scientists know that salt does absorb water from the air but that it quickly reaches an equilibrium state. This is the same for silica packets. Both can be revitalized by drying, which a burning and warming lamp does. So there is merit to this claim.

What’s more is that the heat from the bulb inside that warms up the lamp releases negative ions. And there are the health-boosting effects of salt itself too.
8 Health Benefits Of Himalayan Salt Lamps

It is thought that the negative ions produced by Himalayan Salt Lamps may protect against airborne germs, preventing the development of coughs, sneezes and throat irritation. Here are some of the problems that salt lamps are thought to prevent:

Respiratory complaints
Allergic reactions
Skin problems
Insomnia
Mental disorders
Migraine and headaches
Rheumatism
Disorders of the vascular system

Himalayan Salt Lamps also have a positive effect when meditating and aid relaxation while resulting in an improvement in air quality.

Salt lamps are quite pretty. They give off a warm orange glow, whose ambiance is soothing, and restful which I suppose could reduce stress and improve general emotional well being. If you wish to buy a salt lamp for their beauty and relaxation qualities, it’s probably money well spent. But please have no illusions as to their health effects. It could never possibly replace hyper tonic, or even complement your respiratory treatments. It’s also probably not a good idea to lick them.

Rock Salt Lamps

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Danish Maqbool Posted in Himalayan Salt, Natural Salt Lamps Leave a comment

Rock Salt Lamps

Himalayan salt, named for the Himalayan mountain range, is special because of the diversity of minerals in its composition as well as its purity. In addition to being mineral-rich, this particular salt mine was covered in lava for millions of years, which actually protected from pollution and environmental changes over time. Himalayan salt comes from the time when the earth was pristine. Himalayan salt is pure, chemically free and contains no impurities from environmental pollution. The composition of the salt has one of the world’s highest elemental concentration of 84 minerals and trace elements, the same nutritional elements our bodies need to survive.

Natural Salt Lamps

Rock salt lamps is mined in Pakistan. When you bring a rock salt lamp into your home, you are creating a natural environment just as when you introduce house plants and water features. These things, by imparting clean, fresh air into our homes, leave us feeling refreshed, renewed and rejuvenated! By purifying the air in your home with one of our many designs of rock salt lamps, you will notice improvements in your families health and well being. We take pride that each of our fair trade rock salt lamps is original with its own distinctive shape and color. Clients who regularly use our rock salt lamps have said they have realized significant improvement in the air in their home and have also noticed an enhanced sense of well-being.They love the gentle, glowing light and beauty of our Himalayan rock salt lamps and rock salt candle holders. The beautiful glow from our Rock Salt Lamps will bring a tranquil ambiance to your home. Rock Salt lamps are best placed near televisions and computers, around smokers, in offices with air-conditioning, in fact anywhere you want to restore or preserve the natural air quality.

How do Rock Salt Lamps Actually Work?

Rock Salt lamps do not generate negative ions themselves. They are “hygroscopic,” which means that they attract moisture… humidity… airborne water molecules; it is a natural property of sodium chloride. Since they do not generate the negative ions, they need a heat source (in this case, heat from an incandescent bulb) to accelerate evaporation, which does produce negative ions. In more humid regions, an unlit rock salt lamp will eventually “cry,” even creating puddles of water at its base. It is this evaporation that generates the negative ions, which are beneficial to our health.

Himalayan Rock Salt Lamp Effects

There are natural phenomena that make us feel refreshed or revitalized. You know, simple things like sitting next to a huge waterfall, or being in front of rushing waves at the waterfront. If we were able to soar through the air like birds that would probably do it too.

What about these natural locations and events gives us the good goosebumps? Negative ions.

Negative ions are produced in nature and there’s even a way to mimic them in the walls of your home

Negative ions occur more often in nature and they are often created by things like lightening storms, sunlight, waterfalls, and ocean waves. This is one of the reasons people often report feeling renewed or refreshed after a storm or at the beach.

Positive ions are often created by electronic devices like computers, TVs, microwaves, and even vacuum cleaners and can often exacerbate problems like allergies, stress and sleep trouble. Negative ions can neutralize positive ions (they bond together) and help cleanse the air.

The unique combination of salt and a light source in rock salt lamps are what cause the negative ions. The negative ions are generated during the evaporation process. Since things like airborne mold, bacteria, and allergens often carry a positive charge, they can be neutralized by negative ions.

Rock Salt

Posted on March 12, 2016 by Danish Maqbool Posted in Himalayan Salt, Uncategorized Leave a comment

Rock Salt

The Himalayas – the tallest mountains in the world – span 2400 kilometers across Asia at the joining of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. Where these proud peaks now stand, 250 million years ago was a primordial sea. Within that ancient body of water existed a perfect, pristine ecosystem. As the plates of the earth moved and over the ages pushed the Himalayas toward the heavens, the sea evaporated and all of its life-sustaining minerals crystallized under the heat of the sun to form what we now know as Himalayan rock salt. As you can probably gather from the name, Himalayan rock salt comes from the Himalayas, the famous mountain range that stretches across Nepal, Tibet, and Afghanistan.You probably know that Mount Everest is part of the Himalayas, but the fame of Himalayan rock salt isn’t about the majesty of the mountain peaks.The Himalayan rock salt is formed from ancient oceans more than 200 million years ago.Covered by snow and ice, and far from huge population centers, the salt found deep under the Himalayan foot hills have been protected from the human pollution throughout the years.It is now considered the purest rock salt you can find in this world, and it is hand-mined so that its purity is maintained.With its delicate pink, rose-like color, rock salt is visually distinctive and prized for its purported nutritional profile as it contains a high number of essential minerals.

himalayanbathsalts

Himalayan salt is also often called Himalayan rock salt. It has been compressed and formed under immense pressure for millions of years, giving them the perfect highly crystalline structure which is high in stored energy.

ROCK SALT BENEFITS:

Ease Stress, nervousness and anxiety

Reduce joint and arthritis inflammation and pain

Experience a better nights sleep and perhaps help with insomnia

Assist in helping your muscles to recover from physical exhaustion and fatigue

Strengthen your immune system

Promote relaxation, calmness and just to clear your head

Rock Salt consists of exactly the same natural elements that make up our bodies. Interestingly enough, our blood consists of the same salty ingredients as the primordial sea. Sole Water is the perfect combination of pure water and these rock salt crystals. It is this same combination that comprises the amniotic fluid we find in the womb, where new life begins.

Rock salt also used in salt therapies

Salt therapy is a drug free treatment that reproduces the natural micro climate of a salt cave by dispersing a rock salt aerosol in high concentrations in a halo chamber whose surfaces are covered with layers of rock salt. The rock salt aerosol in the room plays an important role in the relief of health problems and is a highly effective therapy for treating people with respiratory problems and skin conditions without any known side effects.

Within the salt room a microniser is used to pump a dry aerosol Himalayan rock salt aerosol into the air. As the Himalayan rock salt is inhaled, it travels through the sinuses and respiratory tract absorbing moisture, cleansing, clearing mucus, killing bacteria and reducing inflammation.Rock salt has long been known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties as well as helping to loosen mucus build up and phlegm, help with asthma treatment and bronchial conditions. Studies have shown that people with chronic upper respiratory conditions, seasonal allergies, sinusitis, bronchitis and skin disorders can derive significant benefits from salt therapy.

How Your Skin Benefits From Rock Salt Skin Scrubs

A buildup of dead skin cells causes a rough, dull, aged appearance. Exfoliating the top layers of dehydrated cells promotes a youthful glowing skin, as well as many other benefits. Rubbing your skin with a quality rock salt scrub allows the texture of the rock salt scrub to exfoliate and refine the skin, leaving it clean and refreshed, and rubbing away any dead skin cells that cause your skin to look dull. The rock salt grains cleanse pores unlike any soap or cleanser can, allowing your skin to breathe easier. The main benefits of using a good rock salt skin scrub include:

Exfoliating cleans the skin better than soaps or cleansers.

Removing dull, dead skin cells to reveal younger looking skin.

Thoroughly cleaning skin pores, allowing your skin to breathe easier.

Stimulating blood circulation and removing daily toxins from your skin.

Helping to regenerate new skin, which keeps your skin looking younger.

Strengthening and firming skin tissue.

Himalayan Salt Brick

Posted on March 11, 2016 by Danish Maqbool Posted in Himalayan Salt, Salt Plates, Uncategorized Leave a comment

If you hang out in kitchen stores and food shops, you’ve probably seen Himalayan salt bricks in the form of squares, rectangles, bowls and cups. Himalayan salt brick cooking is a new way to cook, but the salt is as old as the hills. The stone is cut from boulders carved from the Salt Range of Pakistan. Although the stone has been marketed as originating in the Himalayas, the Salt Range is about 200 miles away. Despite this mislabeling, Himalayan salt is considered among the purest in the world, free from pollutants, rich in calcium, iron and some 80 trace minerals.These minerals are what give the slabs their distinctive color and appearance. They can be streaked, translucent, opaque or a combination of all three. They can be whitish, pink, deep red, amber yellow and even silvery blue. The fissures and color variations make each one distinct.

DSCF3065

Himalayan salt is the most useful and fascinating salt in the world! We inspect and hand-select each Himalayan salt brick for color and quality. At our Salt Factory, located in Khewra, our production team cuts and grinds the salt into the useful shapes we sell online and in our stores. Each and every Himalayan product we sell has been inspected for defects and is guaranteed for quality.

Himalayan salt brick has a very stable crystal structure, which allows it to hold a temperature very well. You can chill it to use as a serving platter for sushi, or heat it over a grill or stove top to cook your veggies. Cooking on salt gives it a greatly enhanced flavor over that of a frying pan. The mineral content in the salt gives it a more nuanced flavor than table salt, and the amount of saltiness it imparts varies with the type of food (moist foods absorb more salt, fatty foods repel it, etc.). Himalayan salt is also long-lasting and naturally antibiotic, needing little more than wiping with a damp sponge after most uses.

How do I use them?

+ Use the large, thick salt bricks only for heating; if they are too thin, their cooking life will be greatly reduced due to increased risk of cracks.

+ Individual-serve-sized salt bricks are excellent for freezing and for room temperature uses such as curing.

+ Heat your completely-dry salt brick slowly on your gas stove on lowest heat for 15 minutes. Turn up heat to low-medium for a further 15 minutes. Increase heat to medium for 10 minutes. Sprinkle a few drops of water on your salt. If they sizzle, you are ready to go. If not, turn the heat up some more. It can take all the way to high heat, as long as you do this slowly.

+ For an electric stove, place a trivet between the brick and element – they should never touch. Heat in the same way as for gas stove.

+ Although you can heat your brick in the oven, any trapped moisture in the oven may cause the brick to crack or, at worst, to explode. Salt is hydroscopic, meaning it attracts water; residual water on or in your brick, or in the oven, won’t be able to escape through evaporation, like it can on a stove top or BBQ, causing the potential cracks or ruptures. Avoid the oven.

+ If your food is becoming too salty, you most likely need to increase the temperature of the salt before cooking on it. This will not only improve your food, but also preserve your salt product for longer.

How do I clean them?

Moisture in the food will pick up salt faster, while fat will repel the salt. If your food is too salty, apply a thin layer of oil to the brick. Heat slowly to reduce cracks and crevices. Please remember that salt is a natural substance and can break or change colour depending on the foods you use with them.

To clean your salt brick moisten a sponge or scouring pad and wipe clean – DO NOT USE SOAP! Himalayan salt brick has natural antimicrobial properties with no need for detergents. Keep the salt brick as dry a possible – the less water the better. Dry with a clean cloth and set on drying rack.

Please note that as natural products, no two are alike, colors vary and the sizes are approximate. For example the thickness of “2 inch” salt brick varies from 1.5″ to 2.25.

The 8 x 6 x 2+/- Himalayan salt bricks weight about 6-8 pounds. – These are the perfect size, put two together for greater cooking surface, after using then stack for easier storage. We are finding the size to be excellent, for using, serving, storing, and handling.

The 8 x 12 x 2+/- Himalayan salt bricks weigh about 14 to 16 pounds. These have a large working area and are a preferred size by many. This size salt brick is sold only in the shops. Instead, for online purchases we offered two 8 x 6 x 2 bricks. This is actually very versatile. Two Himalayan salt bricks can be set side by side for cooking.

The 6 x 6 x 1+/- and the 8 x 4 x 1+/-salt bricks are lighter and are great for the grill, just get several and put them together. They heat up quicker than the thick ones. Also, great as “starters” for people who want to explore cooking with salt bricks and just have some fun with them.

Eventually, with use, these salt bricks will thin, and eventually crack and separate due to expansion and contraction. But the good news is IT IS SALT and is totally consumable! So, never throw away the pieces … just grate them up and use as you would any salt! A great and long-lasting supply of amazing Himalayan salt!!!

Himalayan Salt bricks are relatively heavy and require special packaging and handling to prevent breakage. For this reason Himalayan salt bricks purchased online are somewhat more expensive then when purchased in our shops and carried out.

Important: Himalayan salt bricks take on a life of their own when you start using them (and sometimes even before then). While it might be nice for salt to offer all the stability of stainless steel, this is simply not the case. When heated, it will change color dramatically, and may develop fissures. Don’t get upset by the behavior of your salt brick. Salt is a complicated, wily, unpredictable substance. That is what gives it much of its charm.

edible salt

Where it comes from?

Our Himalayan Crystal Salt comes from the Himalayan Region of the Karakoram mountain range located 400 miles from the Hunza Valley in Pakistan.

Our salt is always stone ground. No metal ever touches the salt during grinding. All the salt is extracted by hand from the salt caves (ancient sea bed deposits). No salt from other sources is mixed with this salt. This is 100% from the Karakoram mountain range salt caves.

These salt deposits are roughly 250 million years old, meaning they were deposited long before the earth became polluted with heavy metals, pesticides and PCBs. While there is really no such thing as “organic” salt, this is probably the most pristine salt you’ll find anywhere on the planet. Eating this salt is a lot like going back in time and consuming minerals from pre-industrial Earth.

WHAT IS HIMALAYAN CRYSTAL SALT?

Himalayan Crystal Salt is more than sodium and chloride. Himalayan Crystal Salt can actually be viewed as food. When we speak of salt, we mean salt in its original form: holistic, wholesome, unaltered, natural salt, as it has crystallized in the Earth over millions of years. When we speak of ‘”table” salt that is sold in the supermarket, we refer to it as sodium chloride with additives, which is what it really is. Himalayan crystal salt contains all the elements of which the human body is comprised. From the periodic table of elements we are familiar with 94 natural elements (stable as well as unstable). Apart from inert gases, all of these elements can be found in crystal salt. Hence, crystal salt contains all natural minerals and trace elements that are found in the human body. We perceive crystal salt as being the totality of all natural elements. This may not be entirely correct according to chemistry, however we will continue to use the term crystal salt in this context. The number of the respective elements contained in the crystal salt is biophysically irrelevant to this study.

What Exactly Are The Benefits?

Some of the benefits that you can expect by consuming this salt in place of regular table salt include:
Aiding in vascular health
Supporting healthy lungs and respiratory function
Promoting a stable pH balance within the cells
Reducing the signs of aging
Promoting healthy sleep patterns
Increasing libido
Prevents muscle cramps
Increases hydration
Strengthen bones
Lowers blood pressure
Improves circulation
Detoxifying the body of heavy metals

Reasons to choose KMS SALT:

Sourced from the Himalayas
Not table salt (sodium chloride)
Sugar, fat and saturated fat free
Contain every element found in the human body
Can be used on food or in the bath
100% natural

Certified Vegan and Vegetarian

Himalayan Pink Salt

Posted on March 3, 2016 by Danish Maqbool Posted in Edible Grade Salt, Himalayan Salt, Uncategorized Leave a comment

Himalayan pink salt originated in the primal seas that were present in the Himalayas millions of years ago. This was during a time when environmental pollution simply didn’t exist, guaranteeing that the salt produced today is completely pure. After mining, the salt crystals are hand selected, hand-crushed and then finely ground. Lastly the salt is hand-washed before being left to dry naturally in the sun.In a culinary setting, Himalayan Pink salt is used as a replacement for table salt and can be ground to a finer consistency in a salt mill.For centuries, Himalayan pink salt have been used as folk remedies for a variety of health issues. Stimulating circulation, lowering blood pressure and removing toxins such as heavy metals from the body are just a few of the many benefits of Himalayan pink salt.

100% Pure Mineral Salt from a pristine area deep in the Himalayan Mountain Range.

The Salt is stone ground.

Himalayan Pink Salt has a precise mesh with our body’s inner workings because it contains an almost identical set of elements to those found inside the human body, 84 of the possible 92 trace minerals, in the same proportion as naturally exists in our blood.

Himalayan pink salt can be consumed as a mineral water, dissolved in a hot bath for a healthy soak and detox, or it can be put directly on your food or used in cooking.

Our salt’s vivid pink color is a result of the trace elements in the salt, including energy-rich iron. These naturally present minerals are essential for human health

Despite what we have been led to believe, salt is equally as important to the human body as water. As long as you are drinking enough water, salt is absolutely essential for the body to generate hydroelectric energy, maintain good blood chemistry, balance the correct amount of water in our blood and cells, aid digestion and allow our nervous system and muscles to function normally.

HOW TO USE IT?

Himalayan Pink Salt certainly adds taste and flavor to our foods. At the same time, we also know that the high sodium content present in salt can lead to hypertension which, in turn, can slowly damage our cardiovascular system. If you aren’t used to eating enough, there are some easy ways you can increase your intake:

Add it to your foods and avoid processed foods or eating out, since you will consume large amounts of processed table salt. Salt to taste and don’t worry about eating too much.

Drink 1/2 tsp of quality salt in a quart of water daily to help raise your electrolyte and trace mineral levels.

Soak in a relaxing bath with added magnesium and Himalayan Pink Salt

For skin issues: Make a poultice of Himalayan pink salt and water and apply to areas with eczema or psoriasis.

Make a scrub with finely powdered Himalayan pink salt and natural oil (like coconut or olive) to use as an exfoliate in the shower.

HEALTH BENEFITS:

Improve Your Respiratory Conditions

Aside from trapping the allergens and reducing the overall air moisture levels, the Himalayan pink salt can naturally alleviate some of the most common respiratory conditions, such as asthma.

Neutralizing electromagnetic radiation

Negative ions will certainly cancel out positive ions; however, to counteract electromagnetic radiation entirely, you would need to wrap yourself in lead sheeting, not just light a lamp next to the TV.To what extent Himalayan pink salt lamps emit negative ions into the air remains to be seen. It’s not sure if they are powerful enough to neutralize electromagnetic radiation, also called ‘electro-smog’ at all.

Relieve Muscle Soreness

Himalayan pink salt is very rich in magnesium and 80 other minerals that heal muscles and soft tissues, when absorbed through the skin.

Purifying the air

It is absolutely true that the salt lamps are hygroscopic: they do suck water vapor from the air. Salt in the air has long been seen as a health booster, and sea air has been proven to help clear the airways.

Treating Acid Reflux Disease

The Himalayan pink salt can double as a natural and highly efficient antacid that keeps the stomach acid levels within the normal range.

Help you sleep better

Another popular claim is that the Himalayan pink salt lamps help you sleep better.

Lowers Blood Pressure

The reason why the Himalayan pink salt can actually be good for you is that it is absorbed directly into your blood stream in a faster and more efficient manner than conventional salt.In turn, this leads to a lower blood pressure and a healthier and improved blood flow!
