Himalayan salt comes from the Primal Sea region. Many cultures believe this region is where all life originated. It has long been used for healing and health practices in Eastern cultures. Just recently Western culture decided to embrace the potential of this ancient knowledge.
Himalayan salt contains 84 naturally occurring elements and minerals which are absorbed into the skin as the therapist glides them along. People have reported a profound sense of well-being during and following salt stone massage.
Other reported benefits of using Himalayan salt stones for massage include:
• Light skin exfoliation
• Alkalizes the skin
• Balances the positive and negative ions, to reduce inflammation.
• The heated stones activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System which gives us rest and relaxation and deactivates the Sympathetic Nervous System which is our “fight or flight” response
system for dealing with stressors. This can leave you with an elevated mood, feeling less stressed, less anxious.
• These benefits combined with the massage can help lower blood pressure, support a healthy respiratory system, prevent muscle cramps and boost bone health, improve circulation, relieve
anxiety, and relieve insomnia.
• Himalayan salt are naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial, which makes them easily used hot or cold.
