Himalayan Salt Products

Himalayan crystal salt has myriad properties to help improve our health and the quality of the air around us. Don’t be fooled by crystal salt that hasn’t been sourced from around this most mystical of mountain ranges. The crystal salt which is used to create beautiful lights is taken from underground mines in Khewra, Pakistan, found on the western edge of the Himalayan Mountains and the correct sourcing isn’t the only distinction it has.

Visually it is a very beautiful pinkish hue. This can range from a light pink to a more intense orange pink. The colouration occurs over millions of years after the salt crystal has reacted with iron and other minerals in its formation. When you buy a real Himalayan salt lamp it will have been hand-carved from a solid block of Himalayan salt and when the salt particles are warmed by the inner light it can have amazing health benefits.
