Picture this – it’s a beautifully fresh and sunny Saturday morning, and you’ve just emerged from a dip in the ocean. You’re feeling fabulous from head to toe – cleansed, refreshed and rejuvenated! We might think the sea’s healing properties some simply from the joyful emotions we experience being out and about in nature, but in fact the answer runs a little deeper than that. When you take a swim in the ocean, you’re immersing yourself in salt water, which offers an abundance of healing properties.<\/p>\n

Salt is naturally antibacterial and alkalising, and releases a negative electromagnetic charge that combats the positively-charged impurities we’re exposed to on a daily basis. One of the purest forms of salt on earth (or rather, under it) is known as pink halite, or Himalayan crystal salt. As the name suggests, these pink salt crystals are found naturally deep within the Himalayan mountains, in pristine conditions that have kept them rich in trace minerals and free of contaminants. There are so many ways to benefit from Himalayan salt, so read on and learn more about the creative, innovative products in the Faithful to Nature selection.<\/p>\n

Did You Know?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>Himalayan salt crystals were formed over 250 million years ago, when ancient sea beds were still covered by lava! This protected the salt from modern-day pollution and kept it ultra-pure.<\/p>\n

Himalayan Crystal Salt Deodorant Bar<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

The newest addition to our Himalayan salt range is a solid crystal salt deodorant bar. Who would have thought something as simple as salt could be such a powerful, effective way of replacing ordinary commercial deodorants? Because the salt is naturally antibacterial, it kills the bacteria that cause odours – rather than preventing you from sweating like antiperspirants do. With no alcohol, no aluminium and no synthetic perfume, this deodorant bar is so kind to your skin – plus it’s non-greasy, non-staining and won’t clog your pores. It also alkalises the skin and makes a wonderful head-to-toe cleanser with gentle exfoliating action.<\/p>\n

These negative ions have a wealth of positive effects!<\/p>\n

Keeping a Himalayan salt light in your home has the following benefits for body and mind:<\/p>\n
