Salt Air Therapy - A Natural Remedy Treatment for Respiratory Ailments

Salt Air Therapy is an increasingly popular, natural treatment for respiratory problems. Salt Air Therapy is the process of breathing air containing dry, micronized salt particles which travel to all areas of the lungs providing a natural way to cleanse and maintain the respiratory system from within.

This all natural, safe and effective therapy helps to reduce inflammation in the airways effectively reducing constriction in the sinuses and lungs that can occur with colds and flus, as well as asthma, allergies and other sinus conditions. By helping the body to naturally eliminate allergens and pollutants, Salt Air Therapy also helps to support the body's immune system.

This treatment is most effective when large quantities of time are spent inhaling dry salt air. Due to its rather unique ability to be procured in large chunks, which can be fashioned into blocks or used in natural crystal form, Himalayan Salt is largely prevalent in Salt Air Therapy.

Himalayan Salt Caves have been constructed at many locations worldwide, including several in the US, for Salt Air Therapy. Patrons of these caves spend anywhere between 45 minutes to several hours in the caves in order to breath the salt air. However, it is usually not practical, or even possible, for individuals to travel to a salt cave on a regular basis, let alone stay for large quantities of time.

Many individuals are now installing Salt Walls in their homes to mimic the benefits of Salt Caves, however, the most convenient and available method of salt air therapy is the Salt Air Inhaler, which is also readily found online and in stores accompanied by Himalayan Sea Salt.

Himalayan Salt lamps are also effective ways of treating respiratory problems. Salt Lamps are exactly what they sound like; chunks of salt fashioned into lamps by installing a bulb inside of a hole drilled into the bottom of a salt crystal and mounted onto a wooden base. These beautiufl lamps are placed around the home for increased exposure to ionized salt air.

Care & Use of Your Himalayan Salt Tile, Slab, Block or Grill

Care & Use of Your Himalayan Salt Tile, Slab, Block or Grill

First, I would like to explain the difference between a Salt Tile, Slab, Block and Grill; basically, there is none. These different names merely depict a better idea of the many uses for the salt. Unless you are talking about the rough cut, or natural Salt Slabs, at which point it makes sense to call the item a "slab", it is appropriate to call all of these products by one title. In my opinion, referring to them as tiles makes the most sense as the word "grill" does not pertain to their versatile use in chilling and serving foods as well. These items are all the same, a chunk of pure Himalayan Salt which has been cut into a round, square or rectangular shape between 1" to 2" thick for the purpose of cooking, chilling and serving foods upon!

There are many uses for Himalayan Salt tiles. Listed below are some guidelines for the care and use of your Salt Tile. If you follow these guidelines, you should be able to enjoy your salt tile for quite a long time by ensuring it's longest possible usefulness as a tile. Keep in mind, once your tile has worn down or broken you can always use a salt shaver to sprinkle the salt onto your food or break the chunks up and grind them with a salt grinder! For the longest possible use, I recommend the 2" Salt Tiles, being thicker, they take longer to wear down and are more resistant to cracking or breaking when heated.

There are two things to ALWAYS bear in mind when using your new salt tiles:

• They are HEAVY. Make sure you hold it firmly, so that it doesn't drop.
• When cooking with the tile, it will get extremely HOT and retain the heat for a long time.-longer than you might expect. Be sure the tile is cool before touching it, or use an oven mitt just as you would with any hot cookware.
• Himalayan Salt Blocks are a natural product, and as such, each block may have varying thresholds for heat and pressure. If you wish to cook with your salt block, please understand that they can crack and even explode, just as a glass baking dish can (with the exception of Pyrex Glass, most of the time). 

The most popular use of the Salt Tile is to heat it on the grill, and then enjoy cooking all our favorite barbecue items to perfection on it! This includes meats, fish, vegetables- you name it, they all come out tasting fantastic when cooked on a genuine Himalayan Salt tile. 

The tiles also make excellent cutting boards, as salt is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial! Do NOT, however, cut raw meat on your block without properly cleaning it afterwards. You can use the tile for cooking on a stove as well, just be sure to follow the precautions listed below. If you want to use your block in an oven, I recommend a much longer, slower break in period of up to one hour for the first use, with slightly increasing oven temperatures to avoid cracking the tile. 

Cooking with Himalayan Salt Tiles

Himalayan Pink Salt Tiles can be heated, cooled, or left at room temperature. Cold and room temperature uses require no special instruction; simply place food on the salt block and serve, or use the block as a cutting board in the kitchen.

Heating Himalayan Salt Blocks requires following some basic steps. (Please see the important disclaimer at the end of this guide.) Allow between 15 to 30 minutes to achieve the desired cooking temperature. This is why they are ideal for grilling; they can be heating up as your coals are getting ready to cook on. Also, note that heating will change the appearance of your Himalayan Salt Block. Your salt plate will crackle slightly on heating as micro-fissures appear, clouding the clear finish of the salt block. This is normal, but you may wish to keep one piece for heating and reserve another for room temperature uses if you would like the clearer look for presentation.

Here are some directions for heating your Salt Tile:

1)        Be sure the salt block is completely dry. If it is wet, allow it to dry at least 24 hours in a warm, dry place before heating.

2)         For gas ranges, place your Himalayan Salt Block on the burner over low flame. After 15 minutes (allow more time for plates larger than 8" x 8" x 2"), increase heat to low-medium. At this point, your salt plate will be hot enough to cook on, but you will want to keep the flame on low-medium while cooking. If extremely hot temperatures are desired, increase flame to medium-high for another 15 minutes.

3)        For electric ranges, place a metal spacer such as wok ring or pastry tin with a removable bottom on the stove so that the Himalayan Salt Block is at least 1/2 inch above the heating element. It is important that the salt not touch the heating element, as direct contact could damage your range, your salt, or both. With the salt block in place, follow instructions above, allowing as much a 5 minutes more for each step.

4)         If you are using your salt block on a barbecue grill (my personal favorite), it is going to be a bit more difficult to regulate the heat. That is why we recommend curing the plate before your first use, by heating it slowly, and then allowing it to slowly cool back to room temperature.

Important: The prolonged contact with moisture that occurs with any longer-cooking recipes dissolves more of the salt tile's surface, causing irregularities or pitting. While this may reduce the usable lifetime of a Himalayan Salt Tile, many uses should still be possible. That is why I recommend the 2” thick plate for any cooking application. If you are using your salt tile for cooking on a stove, be sure to closely monitor it while cooking, and do not place food or any other item on the tile that can potentially run off the tile and into your stove! Never leave your salt block unattended while cooking.

Caring for your Pink Himalayan Salt Tile

After each use, rinse your salt tile with warm water, scrub with a soft brush or green scouring pad to remove any stuck matter, and rinse again. Tamp dry with a paper towel or clean cloth. Set on a drying rack. This will process removes a very thin layer of the salt. 

Treated with care, a large salt tile can be used dozens of times. The powerful antimicrobial properties of the salt insure that it is always proper and ready for future use, with no need for detergents. 

If your salt tile becomes pitted from use with moist foods or longer cook time recipes, you can literally "sand" the surface of the tile with sand paper, then thoroughly rinse the tile off with water, dry with a towel and allow 24 hours to fully dry. This will remove a bit of the salt from the surface, another reason why I recommend the 2" thick tiles.

Gargling with a Salt Water Solution Recudes Swelling & Irritation from a Sore or Irritated Throat!

Gargling with a salt water solution has been known to reduce swelling and irritation associated with a sore, or irritated throat, and cough since antiquity. This natural treatment helps to reduce harmful bacteria, thereby treating and preventing infection with anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties.

This tried and true natural remedy is a well known treatment which is suggested by physicians worldwide, including here in the US, though many individuals, especially children, tend to have difficulty with the harsh salty flavor of iodized table salt. It is also best not to use salts that contain anti-caking agents or preservatives.

Himalayan Salt Glasses provide a convenient method for preparing salt water solution for gargling, by simply filling the glass with water and allowing a few moments for some of the salt to dissolve into the water. This method provides a natural, pure salt solution for gargling with unprocessed salts which do not possess added iodide, caking agents or preservatives.

Himalayan Salt Boutique offers High Quality, Gourmet Grade Salt Glasses, as well as other forms of Himalayan Salt with Fast Free Shipping! We also provide information about the many benefits of Himalayan Salt!

Ayurvedic Treatments for Nasal and Sinus Conditions, Cold and Flu Symptoms

Ayurvedic Treatments for sinus and nasal problems, including those caused by the common cold and flu, involve flushing the sinus cavity with salt water solution. According to Ayurvedic Medicine, as well as in many other ancient cultures around the world, salt water flush is a superior method of cleansing the sinuses and nasal passages. Salt water flush draws out toxins as it cleanses the sinuses and is a safe, effective, natural way of doing so. Salt is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial by nature, so it sterilizes and cleanses sinus tissues, and helps heal infections naturally.

Neti Pots are a convenient way to administer this natural Ayurvedic Sinus Treatment. The mineral rich Himalayan Salt solution moisturizes the mucosa and supports it's natural regenaration, making it more difficult for bacteria and viruses to nest. Ideal for preventing runny or congested noses, as well as sinus infections.

Himalayan Salt Bedrooms, Children's Rooms and Saunas help increase exposure to salt air-natural health benefits

The use of Himalayan Salt is growing worldwide and is already featured in various forms at hotels, restaurants and resorts around the world. Many individuals even have salt walls or rooms in their homes, as it is clinically proven to treat various skin conditions, as well as respiratory ailments such as Asthma and Allergies. 

This salt air therapy is most effective when large quantities of time are spent inhaling dry salt air, and for this purpose, Himalayan Salt Caves are available worldwide, even in the US, for Salt Air Therapy. However, is is usually not practical, or even possible, for individuals to travel to a salt cave on a regular basis, let alone spend hours of time there breathing salt air, therefore, adding Himalayan Salt to Bedrooms enables individuals to spend more time breathing in salt air, in the convenience of their own home!

Many have found that their children with Asthma and Allergies suffer less and less from the symptoms of these respiratory ailments with the construction of a Himalayan Salt Children's Room or playroom which increases time spent with the salt, and that the low cost of building salt walls in their homes is easily offset by reduced medical bills! Options for the use of Himalayan Salt vary greatly, from entire walls constructed of Himalayan Salt, to headboards, half-walls and framed salt tile decorations.

There are many contractors who now offer to construct Himalayan Salt Walls, however, they are relatively easy to build yourself and require very little knowledge to construct!

Himalayan Salt has also found it's way into other rooms of the home, including bathrooms, kitchens and even saunas!

How Does Himalayan Salt Differ From Other Salts in Flavor and Use?

If you have heard of Himalayan Salt and are thinking of trying it, you may want to know more about what makes it different from other salts. You have most likely already learned that it is a pure form of salt that comes from deep within the Himalayan Mountains, that it is packed with vitamins and minerals, and has not been exposed to modern environmental pollutants.

But what about it's flavor and uses?

First and foremost, you have also most likely heard that it has a different flavor from other salts. You may wonder how the taste differs and would like to find out before purchasing Himalayan Salt.

Flavor can be a difficult sensation to describe, especially when one considers the way flavors can transition from start to finish. However, most individuals who have tried Himalayan Salt, including myself and my family, find the following to be true:

• Himalayan Salt does in fact have a unique flavor that differs from regular table salt. 
• Himalayan Pink Sea Salt is more subtle than regular salt, yet it has a richer flavor that does not have the "twangy", almost "burning" aftertaste of regular salt. To describe this better, if you put regular table salt on your toungue, you will notice that creates a rather "burning", "stinging" sensation if you keep it there until it melts; if you try this with Himalayan Salt, you will notice that you can allow the salt to melt with very little of this harsh sensation on your toungue.
• Because of it's richer flavoring, you may find that you can use less salt on your food and still get the salty flavor you desire.
• When used to season foods, Himalayan Salt enhances their individual flavor, sort of "blending with the flavor of the food" instead of tasting like something you added to it, which lends a full, rich taste that regular salts can not.
• The addition of Organic Herbs and Spices in Himalayan Finishing Salts lends even more flavor to foods.
• Gargling with Himalayan Salt is much more toloratable than regular salt, due to it's more subtle and less tangy flavor.

Due to it's denser form, caused by the 84+ minerals contained within the salt, Himalayan Salt has the ability to be fashioned into blocks for grilling, chilling and serving foods, as well as serveware such as bowls, glasses and plates. Himalayan Salt can litterally be shaped into whatever form one wishes, an ability that is better demonstrated by it's use as a Hand Carved Salt Lamp, which you can find in a variety of shapes.

• Grilling, chilling or serving foods on Himalayan Salt Slabs allows it to add the same subtle yet rich salt flavor to foods as it's traditional granular form, while lending gourmet presentation to the dish as well.
• Himalayan Salt Grills or Kitchen Slabs can also be used outdoors on your BBQ grill, adding to it's versatility.
• As Himalayan Salt can be either heated or chilled, and retains it's temperatures for long periods of time, it is perfect for serving foods upon.

Himalayan Pink Sea Salt is a vastly versatile mineral with a myriad of uses that one must experience to fully understand. However, most people who try it are happy that they did!

Himalayan Salt - Essential Survival / Emergency Preparedness Kit Item Part II

Himalayan Salt is an excellent item to have in your survival kit or family emergency preparedness kit for many reasons. 

We all know that salt is an essential element for good health. Despite the fact that it can cause high blood pressure and other health issues if imbibed in excessively, certain amounts of salt are necessary for bodily systems to function properly. Salt also has a variety of uses outside of health reasons.

First, it is important to know that Himalayan Salt differs from other salts in many positive ways.

• Himalayan Salt Contains over 84 trace minerals and nutrients including iron, all of which occur naturally in the ocean water, as well as our bodies and are essential for optimal health. Himalayan Salt is unprocessed and has not been chemically cleaned or dried, a process used on regular white table salt that strips away essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Just as with white bread and flour, over processing of these goods causes them to lose the important nutrients that are the reason for consuming them in the first place. 
• Along with the important minerals Himalayan Salt possesses, it has also been preserved for millions of years deep under the Himalayan Mountains, so it is free of modern pollutants making it possibly the purest form of salt on earth!

Outside of consuming salt, it can be used to treat and prevent many ailments as well as treating sores and injuries.

• Cankers, abscesses and other mouth sores can be effectively treated by gargling with salt water solution several times a day; this also helps to treat and prevent infections in these areas due to salt’s antibacterial and antimicrobial nature.
• Gargling with Himalayan Salt water can also be used to treat sore throats.
• Salt can be used to treat sinus infections, by inhaling a salt water solution, as well as aiding with sore eyes, by irrigating the eye with a salt water solution.
• A multitude of other health issues such as skin irritations, external wounds, fungal infections and even mosquito bites can be aided by soaking in a Salt Bath.
• A poultice of salt and olive oil can help sooth insect bites and exposure to Poison Ivy.
• A Salt paste, made by mixing salt with water until it is thick, works to treat the pain and swelling of bee and wasp stings by gently pulling out the venom as it dries.
• Brushing your teeth with salt helps to prevent infection and treat infections that already exist.

For beneficial uses in health and hygiene alone, Himalayan Salt is an essential item for every well prepared survival or emergency kit, however, salt is a vastly versatile mineral and there are many other important uses for salt that make it a necessary emergency and/or survival kit item.

• Salt can be stored indefinitely for future use; salt does not deteriorate unless it gets wet, and it does not become less effective over time, so any salt you store in a dry place will remain available for use as long as you need it.
• Salt can be used to preserve and make certain foods, enabling you to make survival foods such as jerky and preserve meats like fish and venison, as well as produce fermented foods like pickles and dairy products such as butter. Wrapping cheese in cloth moistened with salt water will prevent molding and adding a small amount of salt to milk will make it stay fresh longer.
• Salt can be used to clean your toothbrush, as well as other orthodontic items such as dentures and also effectively cleans edible greens to remove bacteria and microbes before eating them. Use of salt in your laundry rinse water will prevent clothes from freezing on the line while drying outdoors during winter, while salt used with vinegar will help clean and deodorize your laundry when used in place of detergents.
• Miscellaneous uses for salt include reducing cooking time on boiled foods by adding Salt to the water, soaking new candles in a strong salt solution for a couple of hours to reduce dripping while burning and reducing smoke from outdoor cooking grills by sprinkling salt on the flames.

With many beneficial and essential uses in so many aspects of everyday life, Himalayan Salt is an essential item in any survival and/or emergency supply kit.

Himalayan Salt stores forever. There is no expiration date. Pack it away today and it will still be there a thousand years later. This salt, of course, has been sitting underneath the Himalayan mountains for eons.

• Trace minerals. Himalayan Salt contains more than just sodium and chloride. It delivers 80+ other elements, including trace minerals that are needed for basic biology.

• Salt preserves foods. If you have salt, you can make salted meats, salted fish, butter and fermented foods like sauerkraut. Salt makes other foods turn into preparedness foods. In a survival scenario, you can never have enough salt. Much like gold, silver and ammo, salt retains its value year after year. It never loses value because humans will always need salt to survive.

• Salt prevents dehydration. Did you know that if your body lacks salt, it cannot hold water? Salt is the essential compound that allows your body to hold water and move water throughout your body's 100 trillion cells. Without salt, any person or animal will die of dehydration. That's why animals in the wild will travel sometimes hundreds of miles to reach salt licks.

• Processed white salt is bad for you. Stop using processed white salt. Just like white bread and white rice, it's overly processed and stripped of essential nutrients. Only full-spectrum salt such as Himalayan Salt or Celtic Sea Salt should ever be used by any health-conscious consumer.

• Completely free from modern-day pollution. This Himalayan Salt was formed by the Earth millions of years before modern humans polluted the oceans. Thus, it is completely free from pesticides, PCBs, and other synthetic chemicals of any kind.

What is a Himalayan Salt Lamp?

Himalayan Salt Lamps are beautiful, functional works of art created entirely out of Himalayan Salt Crystals.
Himalayan Salt is mined from ancient sea salt beds located deep within the Himalayan Mountains where it has remained untouched by environmental pollutants for millions of years. Artisans begin by selecting a crystal and drilling a hole in the bottom.  The crystal is then mounted on a wood base with a corresponding hole in the center that allows a bulb to be inserted through the base and into the lamp. When lit, the bulb warms the lamp, which creates air ionizing effects, while lighting the semitransparent salt crystal from within.  

Coloring

The color of the light emitted by a salt lamp depends on the coloring of the salt crystal used to make the lamp. The coloring of Himalayan Salt ranges from pale, peach/pink to dark shades of red, and is caused by the varying amounts of iron contained in the crystal. The more iron contained in the crystal, the darker the shade of red becomes.

Shapes
The crystals used to make the lamps are either left in their natural crystal form, for Natural Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamps, or hand carved into various shapes before being fitting with a base. The various shapes include animals, flowers, or, the most well-known form, the “Fire Bowl”, “Bowl of Fire” or “Abundance Bowl” Lamp.   Bowl lamps are carved into a bowl or vase shape which is then filled with chunks of Himalayan Salt. Animal shaped salt lamps include dolphins, elephants and turtles, and are popular lighting for children’s rooms. The Natural Crystal forms of Himalayan Salt Lamps range in size from 3-4lbs to larger lamps up to 100lbs or more, which incidentally creates quite the eye catching piece as you can imagine!

Uses
Himalayan Salt Lamps lend a relaxing ambiance to any room with their earthy, smooth glow and are perfect for use in any room of the home. The light from a Himalayan Salt Lamp is emotionally uplifting and helps to reduce irritablility and depression, especially during the winter months when there are fewer hours of sunlight.

Himalayan Salt Lamps are also used by hotels, restaurants, spas and resorts worldwide to add emotionally uplifting and calming effects to their establishments for their patron’s enjoyment.
