Himalayan Salt Crystals. Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much Himalayan Crystal Salt should I put in my body each day?

A. The human body needs only as little as .2g of salt per day. Rather, we tend to use too much salt than too little. As opposed to refined table salt, you can use Himalayan Crystal Salt more freely because of its holistic properties which make it easy for the body to assimilate. The Himalayan Crystal Salt can even help the body to eliminate the stored refined salt deposits. The daily need for crystal salt varies from person to person. Season your food to taste as you like. Contrary to refined table salts, you can use the crystal salt freely. With the recommended one teaspoon of Himalayan Crystal Salt sole every morning, you are not only receiving the biophysical aspect of the salt, which is the frequency pattern of the crystal salt, but also the biochemical aspect of the salt, containing sufficient minerals and trace elements. The body will hold the frequency pattern of the crystal salt sole for 24 hours. Therefore, we only take the sole once per day on an empty stomach.
