3 Ways to Detox Your Body Using Himalayan Salt! - Inspire Me Naturally

Currently looking to reduce toxins in your everyday life? Himalayan pink salt isn’t just pretty to look at, but can also be used to detox your body and improve your overall wellness.

Himalayan pink salt is packed with over 84 trace minerals including iron, calcium and potassium. This mineral-rich source can help to release a buildup of toxins in the body, improve digestion, and even create a more positive home environment.

So what are the best ways to detox your body naturally using Himalayan salt Keep reading for 3 simple remedies to get you started!

Detox your body with a Himalayan salt soak

Regularly soaking in Himalayan salt can be a great way to remove toxins from our bodies. This is due to the process of “osmosis”, where our bodies absorb the salt minerals while simultaneously releasing toxins.

A Himalayan salt soak can also help to reduce inflammation and balance our skin’s PH levels. We recommend soaking in a Himalayan salt bath for up to 20 minutes at a time, between 2-3 times a week.

You can also enhance the experience with a few essential oil drops - lavender oil is perfect for rest and relaxation!

Drink a glass of Himalayan sole solution daily

Drinking a glass of Himalayan sole each morning is another easy way to experience the benefits of Himalayan salt on a daily basis. “Sole” simply refers to a concentrated salt water solution that has reached saturation point, and has often been referred to as the “water of life”.

To create your own Himalayan salt sole, simple place 1 ½ cups of Himalayan salt in a glass container. Fill with good quality spring water and seal the lid tightly, leaving it to sit overnight. If the salt has completely dissolved the next day, add an additional ½ cup of salt. When you can still see undissolved salt crystals at the bottom of the jar, your sole is ready to consume!

Drink sole first thing in the morning on an empty stomach by adding one teaspoon of the solution to a 250ml glass of water and mixing well.

Introduce a salt lamp into your home or workspace

These days, we’re surrounded by electronics, from iPhones to computer screens. Something you might not know is that electronic devices emit positive ions. These positive ions can actually have a negative effect on our health when we’re exposed to them in large quantities. This is why you might find yourself feeling tired, fatigued or even suffering headaches after too much time with your electronics.

When we find ourselves in environments with high levels of these positive ions, we can start to feel anxious, irritable and tense. On the flipside, negative ions help us feel refreshed, energised and uplifted. Negative ions are commonly found in nature near waterfalls, forests and the ocean. Himalayan salt lamps are also thought to be another source of negative ions.

To experience the benefits of negative ions, simply place a Himalayan salt lamp in the areas of your home or workspace where you spend the most time.
