What Is Himalayan Salt Pink Himalayan salt or Halite is rock salt mined from the Punjab region of modern Pakistan. It is chemically similar to table salt containing 98% sodium chloride with some mineral impurities which gives it its pinkish hue. Like table salt, It is primarily used as a food additive but is also used as a material for cooking and food presentation, decorative lamps, and spa treatments. Himalayan salt is marketed with claims that it benefits health, but no clinical evidence exists for such claims. History Early records indicate that the of mining of Himalayan salt began with the Janjua people in the 1200s. It is mostly mined at the Khewra Salt Mine in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab, which is situated in the foothills of the Salt Range hill system in the Punjab province of the Pakistan to the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Composition & Uses IMPORTANT FACT #1 Himalayan salt is chemically similar to table salt. Some salts mined in the Himalayas are not suitable for use as food or industrial use without purification due to impurities.Some salt crystals from this region have an off-white to transparent color, while impurities in some veins of salt give it a pink, reddish, or beet-red color Geology Himalayan salt is mined from the Salt Range mountains, the southern edge of a fold-and-thrust belt that underlies the Pothohar Plateau south of the Himalayas. Himalayan salt comes from a highly folded, faulted, and stretched thick layer of Ediacaran to early Cambrian evaporites of the Salt Range Formation. This geological formation consists of crystalline halite interwoven with potash salts, covered by gypsiferous marl and interlayered with beds of gypsum and dolomite with infrequent seams of oil shale. These strata and the overlying Cambrian to Eocene sedimentary rocks have been thrust southward over younger sedimentary rocks and eroded to create the Salt Range. Although Himalayan salt is sometimes marketed as Jurassic Sea Salt, this salt precipitated in subsiding rift basins along the edge of Gondwanaland.
About Bath Salt Bath salts are water-soluble, pulverized minerals that are added to water to be used for softening and providing a pleasant fragrance for bathing. It is believed that bath salts are therapeutic, have enhanced cleansing properties, are relaxing, and serve as a vehicle for cosmetic agents. Bath salts have been developed which mimic the properties of natural mineral baths or hot springs. History China was the first to publish an organized exposition of the different kinds of salts, their uses, and methods of extraction. This took place around 2700 BC. Hippocrates encouraged his fellow healers to make use of salt water to heal various ailments by immersing their patients in sea water. The ancient Greeks continued this, and in 1753 English author and physician Charles Russel published �¢??The Uses of Sea Water Substances often labeled as bath salts include magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts), sodium chloride (table salt), sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium hexametaphosphate (Calgon, amorphous/glassy sodium metaphosphate), sodium sesquicarbonate, borax, and sodium citrate. Glycerin, or liquid glycerin, is another common ingredient in bath salts. FACT #2 FACT #3 Effects Bath salts have been touted with a myriad of health benefits including easing muscle cramps and stimulating circulation. Some bath salts containing phosphates have a detergent action that softens calloused skin and aids in exfoliation (cleaning off dead skin cells). In addition to cleaning off dead skin cells, bath salts can also detoxify the largest eliminatory organ of the body, the skin. Bath salts can also act as water softeners and change the way soap rinses. Some confusion may arise for bathers after their first experience in a bath with soft water. Soap does not lather well with hard water and can leave a sticky feeling. Soft water lathers better than hard water but feels slippery for a longer time during rinsing of soap, even though the soap is coming off faster, because the soap remains soluble. Researchers have also studied their use in treating arthritis.

ABOUT SEA SALT Sea salt is salt that is produced by the evaporation of seawater. It is used as a seasoning in foods, cooking, cosmetics and for preserving food. It is also called bay salt, solar salt,or s alt. Like mined rock salt, production of sea salt has been dated to prehistoric times. There is no scientific evidence that consuming sea salt instead of more refined sodium chloride salts has any health benefit COMPOSITION Commercially available sea salts on the market today vary widely in their chemical composition. Although the principal component is sodium chloride, the remaining portion can range from less than 0.2 to 10% of other salts. These are mostly calcium, potassium, and magnesium salts of chloride and sulfate with substantially lesser amounts of many trace elements found in natural seawater. Though the composition of commercially available salt may vary, the ionic composition of natural saltwater is relatively constant. TASTE TASTE FACT #1 Some gourmets believe sea salt tastes better and has a better texture than ordinary table salt. TASTE FACT #2 TASTE FACT #3 TASTE FACT #4 The principle of production is evaporation of the water from the sea brine. In warm and dry climates this may be accomplished entirely by using solar energy, but in other climates fuel sources have been used. Modern sea salt production is almost entirely found in Mediterranean and other warm, dry climates. Such places are today called salt works, instead of the older English word saltern. An ancient or medieval saltern was established where there was: Access to a market for the salt A gently shelving coast, protected from exposure to the open sea An inexpensive and easily worked fuel supply, or preferably the sun Another trade, such as pastoral farming or tanningâ??which benefited from proximity to the saltern (by producing leather, salted meat, etc.) and provided the saltern with a local market. Today, salt labelled sea salt in the US might not have actually come from the sea, as long as it meets the FDA purity requirements. All mined salts were originally sea salts since they originated from a marine source at some point in the distant past, usually from an evaporating shallow sea.
We deal in all types of salts from Pakistan, including pink and white salt in all sizes, including 1-2 mm, 2-5 mm, mesh form, and powder form.
About Black Salt Kala namak is a rock salt that has a strong, sulphurous smell. It is also known as Himalayan black salt, Sulemani namak, bit lobon, kala noon, or pada loon and manufactured from the salts mined in the regions surrounding the Himalayas. The condiment is composed largely of sodium chloride with several other components lending the salt its colour and smell. The smell is mainly due to its sulfur content. Because of the presence of Greigite in the mineral, it forms brownish pink to dark violet translucent crystals when whole. When ground into a powder, its color ranges from purple to pink. Production he raw material for producing kala namak was originally obtained from natural halite from mines in India, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh in certain locations of the Himalayas salt ranges,[3][4] or from salt harvested from the North Indian salt lakes of Sambhar Salt Lake or Didwana and the Mustang District of Nepal.[5] Traditionally, the salt was transformed from its relatively colourless raw natural forms into the dark coloured commercially sold kala namak through a reductive chemical process that transforms some of the naturally occurring sodium sulfate of the raw salt into pungent hydrogen sulfide and sodium sulfide.[6] This involves firing the raw salts in a kiln or furnace for 24 hours while sealed in a ceramic jar with charcoal along with small quantities of harad seeds, amla, bahera, babul bark, or natron.[5][6] The fired salt melts, the chemical reaction occurs, and the salt is then cooled, stored, and aged prior to sale.[7][3] Kala namak is prepared in this manner in northern India with production concentrated in Hisar district, Haryana.[6] The salt crystals appear black and are usually ground to a fine powder that is pink.
