Himalayan Salt - the why's, the benefits, the pink glory!

Posted by Katie #saltlady on Jun 29th 2017

Himalayan salt. Pure cooking salt. Pink salt. Pink stuff. That Himalayan sea salt (noooo – it’s not from the sea!). Healthy salt. If you are new to the health scene, you might be wondering what the big hype is from Himalayan salt. If you’ve been to any Upstate farmer’s market or popup, brewery, vintage, craft, holiday fair festivals and events – you might be wondering why there’s a salt lady there selling pink salt. I know it’s hard to explain a salt passion, but I’ll try.

Table Salt: Sodium chloride. Heavily processed, often has added agents to prevent clumping. In one word, BAD.

Sea Salt: Up to 10 minerals, processed from a polluted source (the sea – OCEAN!). Better.

Himalayan Salt: Up to 84 minerals and trace elements, mined from a clean pure source (inside the Himalayan mountain range). Pretty in pink. BEST.

And here are your 84 reasons why iVIVA Himalayan Salt is the BEST salt:

hydrogen, iron, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluoride, sodium, magnesium, calcium, silicium, phosphorus, sulfur, chloride, aluminum, scandium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, gallium, germanium, arsenic, selenium, bromine, rubidium, strontium, yttrium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, ruthenium, rhodium palladium, silver, cadmium, indium, tin, antimony, tellurium, iodine, cesium, barium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold, mercury, thallium, lead, bismuth, polonium, astatine, francium, radium, actinium, thorium, protactinium, uranium, neptunium & plutonium.

So how do all these minerals and trace elements translate into benefits for us? Here are a few of the Himalayan salt benefits our family has experienced:

Lowered blood pressure

Reduced sodium swelling in joints (especially ankles & fingers!)

Taste buds don’t feel burned

Food tastes so much better. More flavor, depth.

Increased energy (in solé form, that we’ll chat about later)

Then the question must be asked, why iVIVA Himalayan Salt? Bottom-line, you are supporting a very small (me) woman-owned business. You are getting a very high-quality salt (I only import from a mine that is fair trade compliant, has rigorous testing, and FDA inspected when it reaches the USA. I make and prepare the salt in a DHEC approved kitchen (shout-out to Imagine Kitchen in Greer, SC!) and am also Certified SC.

Thank YOU for supporting me, a locally made (yet, imported) product!
