Over 250 million years ago, salty remnants of the Primal Sea where all life began settled into geological pockets of rock buried deep beneath the towering Himalayan peaks in Pakistan. This Himalayan salt has been mined by hand from salt caves located in the foothills of these mountain ranges for many centuries.
Renowned within Eastern medicine for its healing properties, people would often visit these salt caves to find relief from a variety of health issues. Characterized by its pinkish hues, Himalayan Sea salt contains up to 98% sodium chloride, as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, iron, and many other natural minerals.
Himalayan Salt Stone Massage
It wasn’t until much more recently that this natural pink salt finally made its way to the West.
But now that it has, Himalayan salt is used in everything, from heated salt lamps to replacing table salt, as well as for innovative healing through salt stone therapies.
When used during massage, Himalayan salt stones provide many unique therapeutic and healing benefits. Pink Himalayan salt crystals are carved into stones by hand, which are then heated and applied to the body with pressure during massage therapy. This releases the essential minerals within the heated Himalayan stones which deeply penetrate the skin, joints, and muscle tissue.
