Himalayan Salt Cures For The Body

Today, the average person can often fall prey to a variety of illnesses and minor complaints because of faulty food habits and busy, stressed lifestyles. There are many store-bought chemical potions and drugs, and herbal home remedies from the kitchen and garden that can help to tackle such issues. However, crystalline Himalayan salt--the pure, natural storehouse of essential minerals, with almost no exposure to any kind of toxin for millions of years--from the Himalayan foothill mines can cure a variety of health-related problems.


Making the Brine Solution


Mix some Himalayan salt with two qt. of water and stir constantly until all the crystals dissolve. Keep adding salt and stirring until the water can dissolve no more salt. This resultant brine solution can be used for a variety of Himalayan salt cures for the body.


Ear and Mouth


Apply two drops of the Himalayan solution every four hours to an aching ear to cure any infection inside. You can mix a tsp. of this same brine solution with a qt. of water and make a mouthwash or mix with your toothpaste and use while brushing your teeth. This will improve your dental hygiene while preventing bleeding gums and malodorous breath.


Throat and Skin


You can use a Himalayan salt treatment for your sore throat. Gargle with the tepid brine solution without swallowing it at least twice a day for a week. If you experience acne attacks, a face wash made with two tbsp. of Himalayan brine solution, diluted with a tbsp. of spring water. You can also mix a pinch of the crystalline salt with your organic soap and scrub your face. A Himalayan salt remedy for foot fungus could include soaking your affected foot in the brine solution, leaving undisturbed for about 10 minutes and patting it dry. The same treatment would work for treating psoriasis.


Acid Balance and Respiratory Tract


Take three tbsp. of Himalayan brine solution a day for a week to cleanse your system of heavy, dangerous metals like arsenic, lead and mercury and gain a well-balanced body pH factor. You can be cured of any recurring respiratory disease such as asthma or bronchitis and sinusitis by inhalation of the Himalayan brine. Boil the brine, remove from the flame, cover your head with a towel and inhale the emanating hot vapors for 15 minutes.


Menstruation and Headaches


Heat some brine solution and soak a piece of thick cloth in it. Remove the cloth from the solution, squeeze off excess liquid and place directly on the abdomen, covering it with a towel if you are suffering from menstrual cramps. Remain this way for about 30 minutes. You can get relief from headaches with the Himalayan salt treatment of massaging the concentrated brine onto your neck and head.
