How to Use:
Here I am listing 4 ways you can use Himalayan pink salt and experience its healing powers.
1. Add 1 small cup of Himalayan pink salt to warm water and soak in it. It will help in calming your senses, sucking out toxins and gives you a very relaxed detoxified feeling. Not only this, if you have tight muscles and body ache, this bath will completely rejuvenate you. For extra benefits, you can add a few drops of lavender oil and experience an exotic spa at home.
2. Take a cup of fine-grain Himalayan salt and mix it with coconut oil. Mix it well and use it as a body scrub. It is an excellent exfoliator that will remove your dead cells, help in regeneration of new cells and cure irritation. If you suffer from flaky skin, especially on your butt, knees, elbows and back, you should definitely try this out.
3. Mix half a teaspoon of the salt with half cup water. This can be used as a facial spray and a hair spray. If you have oily troubled skin, this will help in curing that. If you have dry skin, you can add a little aloe vera gel and coconut oil to help with the dryness. As a hair spray, it can give you the perfect beachy waves.
4. Make a electrolyte rich sole solution that can improve hydration, circulation and digestion. Fill a glass jar about 1/4 with Himalayan salt. Fill the rest of the jar with filtered water. Add a plastic lid, shake and let sit overnight. Add 1 teaspoon of this sole solution to filtered water and drink in the morning. You can use the master solution till it gets over.
