Reasons Salt Is a Powerful Ally In The Winter.
Mineral salts give your body the variety of mineral ions needed to balance its functions, remain healthy and heal. With the onset of winter and sudden drop in temperature, many of us fall prey to sore throats, upper respiratory tract infections and skin-related problems. Salt therapy can actually help alleviate all of these conditions, symptoms and more.Too few minerals, rather than too much salt, may be to blame for many health problems.
However, refined salts hold little weight in terms of healing the human body compared to mineral rich salts. Unrefined rock salt contains more than 84 different minerals. Rose-coloured crystals of Himalayan rock salt, or the grey texture of Celtic salt -- both pride themselves on traditional harvesting, avoiding heat treatment or refining methods. These healing properties have long been recognized all over the world.
