Himalayan Salt

Our Himalayan Salt is a whole food salt that comes to you straight from the earth's crust: it was deposited hundreds of millions of years ago when huge oceans dried up, before there was any pollution; so this pristine, ancient salt needs no refining and is also guaranteed additive-free.

The Himalayan Salt is one of the finest organic salts in the world, it contains naturally occurring minerals which make it compatible with your body's needs and also give it the rosy-pink hues for which it is famous. Its minerals are a perfect match for those, which our bodies need, since we have a saline fluid base very like that of the seawater from which this salt originated. .

Do your self a favour and stop taking “common salt” switch now to the real stuff.

What are Salt Lamps?

I often get asked: what is a Salt Lamp? Good question if you have never seen one; well a salt lamp is simply a chunk of mined salt that has been hollowed out to allow room for a light bulb. The light glows through the medium of the salt crystal, which can range in colour from a dark salmon pink to a pale orange or even purple.

Salt crystals for salt lamps are mined in Russia and central Europe as well as in the Himalayas and Persia. Salt lamps make attractive accent lights.

Their main attraction, however, is that the heating of the salt causes the crystal to release negative ions (often called simply 'ions') this helps "clear the air.
