FAQ - Bath & Spa Salt

Is crystal salt 250 million years old and why is this good for me?

Crystal salt is pure, and has been undisturbed for at least 250 million years. As the mine is inside a mountain at an altitude of 10,000 feet, it has been protected from chemical pollutants.

Is it clean? How is it cleaned?

The crystal salt is naturally clean, being deep within a mine, and not susceptible to environmental pollutions. The crystal salt is hand-washed.

How did crystal salt become crystallized?

The term crystal matrix refers to natures' favorite way of storing electrical energy. Crystal salt is condensed out of a simple form of sea salt which contains all the minerals and trace elements found in the human body due to the exposure of high pressure and temperature, probably over 250 million years old. This means that crystal salt gives our bodies, not only the minerals and trace elements which are the essential building blocks that are found in the human body, but that these minerals and trace elements are carriers of an enormous electrical life force field of electric life energy which we need to have for a healthy metabolism.

Why do the crystals have a pink color?

The pinkish color is a form of hematite, which is a form of iron oxide, and the beauty of that is ionic iron which means we can absorb it really well, so if you need some extra iron in your diet this would be an excellent source. At the same time ionic iron does not build up in the body and cause potential harmful side effects which many forms of iron supplementation potentially can do. So, hematite is another great reason crystal salt is the best mineral supplement you can get.

Can crystal salt help with muscle pain and arthritis?

One thing that is not commonly known about arthritis is that when the body dehydrates there is of course a whole chain of reactions going on to insure rationing the little water that is still available for the body. One of these reactions is an over production of a substances called histamines. Histamines can cause all kinds of health problems, from allergies, to chronic inflammation to arthritis. Rehydration of the human body will fight anything we do to reduce histamine production. You can soak in a bath tub for half an hour and the water will stay warm when the crystal salt is in it and is a wonderful way to ease arthritis discomfort.

How does crystal salt affect our body's acid alkaline balance?

Crystal salt, because of its balanced mineral spectrum affects your acid alkaline balance in the most positive way. If you are overly acidic, crystal salt helps to alkalize very quickly. If you are overly alkaline, which is rare but happens in some cases, crystal salt helps you to rebalance your minerals because over alkalinity is usually simply a mineral imbalance in the mineral metabolism of the body.

How does crystal salt bath affect my immune system?

Our immune systems are under stress now-a-days as they have never been before in history. So to make sure that our immune system works to the best of our ability we need to stay hydrated. The thymus gland is the part of the body where white blood cells, antibodies, and the parts of our blood that forms our first line of defense, are maturing and the thymus gland also is very easily hindered in its ability to perform that function by dehydration, calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Reintroducing all these minerals that tend to be missing in our foods due to soil depletion in agriculture is the first fundamental step in having a functional immune system.

Will it make me sick with the detoxifying effects?

If you are heavily toxic, for instance from industrial poisoning, yes, you can experience a healing crisis (such as headaches). Take the bath, maybe twice a week for some weeks until you no longer experience symptoms. It is good to work with your health care practitioner.

Does it have an added fragrance?

No crystal salt is completely natural. It does not provide fragrance of its own, some people would like to add natural fragrance to there bath while others do not. I highly recommend only natural fragrance products like high quality essential oils.

Will the crystal salt cleanse my blood?

So using crystal salt in this way is a wonderful home spa that you can treat yourself to.
