Pink Himalayan Salt is a rock salt (halite) mined from the famous Khewra Salt Mine – the world’s second largest salt reserve located in Pakistan. These salt mines are 5,000 feet deep below the Himalayan Mountain Range and salt from these mines has experienced tremendous pressure over millions of years and is said to be over 99 percent pure.

Centuries later, when miners first dug through the tunnels, they found a pure pink-colored salt, enriched with minerals. Himalayan Salt is known for providing numerous health benefits, and is believed to be healthier than refined salt. It contains around 84 different minerals including sodium chloride, calcium, iron and potassium.

Salt itself is hygroscopic and attracts the water from the surroundings. Due to the gentle heat of the lamp, the water quickly evaporates and during the evaporation process the beneficial negative ions get created. They go on to bind with excessive positive ions (bacteria, molds and allergens all carry a positive charge) and neutralize the electronic smog in your home and offices.
