Himalayan Crystal Salt - Left Coast Organics

Himalayan crystal salt, rather than being stripped of minerals through processing, is said to maintain 84 naturally occurring minerals. While table salt can dehydrate the body’s cells, Himalayan crystal salt helps to maintain their water content. Other professed benefits of this salt are that it is a rich source of electrolytes, can increase sinus health, can help to regulate sleep, can alleviate aches and pains (when in a solution form), etc.
