- Himalayan Salt – Fine Grain, 5 lbs. | All-Natural, Gluten-Free, No Additives | Perfect for Everyday Cooking & Recipes

My mom takes a bath every single night. And she falls asleep in the tub every night as well. She has a whole load of wrinkled up books that have taken the inevitable plunge. She's a fan of bubbles and Epsom Salts, like many avid bathers. I realized how beneficial pink Himalayan salts are to our health, and decided to get this. After this big bag arrived, I poured out a big jar of the Himalayan Salt for my mom and asked her to try it, and report back to me.... Knowing its true benefits will help me for when I use it in diy blends. She fell asleep. No, I wasn't surprised. But yes, she loved it. She suffers from ostheoarthritis and other aches and pains in her hip/thigh area. When she works too hard, she always comes home limping. But after bathing with a cup of the Himalayan salt, she feels super relaxed and her pain is virtually gone by the next morning... you know, until she comes home limping again. Poor thing. Next I'm gonna try this salt on some food. People say it's delicious. I'm also curious if it might dye some diy lip balm a very faint pink. If I used just a bit of it. I'll find out soon enough. Most importantly, I have a nasty sinus staph infection. I'm on week 10 or 11 now, and antibiotics are totally useless and harmful. After 2 rounds, it was pretty obvious. I had to try another solution. The natural way. So I'm going to make a DIY antibacterial nasal inhaler. Here is the recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup of Dead Sea salt (+ Himalayan salt) 5 ml eucalyptus 5 ml lavender essential oil 3 ml tea tree essential oil 20 drops rosemary essential oil 10 drops cajuput essential oil 10 drops marjoram essential oil Directions: Mix essential oils and Dead Sea salt thoroughly in a bowl. Place ½ tsp of the mixture into glass chamber of inhaler or into the plastic chamber of a disposable inhaler. Jiggle the salt gently and add more salt until no more salt can be added. Place the plug firmly into the bottom of the plastic inhaler to hold salt in place or place cap on the glass inhaler and insert the glass chamber into the protective steel base. Cap both inhalers tightly and label the plastic inhaler “for sinus congestion”. I have faith that with this inhaler, and the Kiva Manuka Honey 20+ I just purchased, I have a good chance at slowing down the staph infection. Manuka oil and honey are incredible for your health in many ways. People report all sorts of chronic conditions fading away, and flus going as soon as they come. IF you take/eat the honey right at the onset of symptoms and take it every day. For more serious issues like my infection, I will use UMF 20+... (Watch out, there are companies that will try to fool you with other numbers with less health benefit.) For everyday immune upkeep, people often prefer UMF 10+ or UMF 15+. Look it up on your own to learn more. I just ordered my first bottle, and Kiva looks reputable. And incredible. Himalayan salt lamps are big now. They supposedly help clean and purify the air and your body, so many people keep the salt lamps around in different rooms of their house. There are even small ones that just plug directly into the outlet like a night light. They are affordable. The manuka honey? That stuff is expensive! But I have no doubt that it's worth every penny. I've spent 20 years fooling with western modern medicine and doctors. I've only gotten to the point of allover chronic pain, fatigue and chronic illness now. And I'm only 30. I've spent 2 years in bed. So I'm doing whatever I can to try to naturally heal my ravaged body. I've wasted tens of thousands at least on useless medical bills. Utterly useless. I'm taking control of my own health now. I've tried it their way long enough. And now I have to reverse the damage they've done on my own. .....and Sherpa Pink Himalayan Gourmet Salt is currently on the top of my arsenal, along with essential oils and other supplements. Here I go.. Good luck to all of you! UPDATE: I did not use the exact recipe I found above for my nasal inhalers. I call them Sinus Sniffers and I could never have imagined how awesome they would be. I used both Dead Sea Salt and Pink Himalayan Salt, and over 15 different essential oils. After I mixed it all together, I packed them into plastic nasal inhalers from Amazon. They turned out better than I could've possibly imagined. These Sinus Sniffers have cured 3 different people's chronic congestion with everyday use. I post my natural creations and remedies on my fb and instagram sites, emi K. Wellness. I love helping people and supporting them through life struggles, so this has been awesome for me. I used the same recipe as the Sinus Sniffer, plus Vitamin E and aloe vera, plus lavender flowers and a few rose buds and petals. These Immunity Bath Salts came out incredible as well. They literally erase your muscle and joint pain after a half hour soak. I gained a pound from my bath with them which is a great thing! That means I soaked up all the healthy minerals, and I felt like I was floating afterwards. Also, I ended up trying the Manuka Honey UMF 20+ (UMF=unique manuka factor, all the parts of the honey that give it its effective characteristics) from Kiva. It was delicious and it seemed to be helping my sinus staph infection and my health overall. Because of the price, I bought a second bottle, but UMF 15+ this time. The honey tasted more mellow and I prefer it over the more potent one. After the end of this second bottle, my 5 month long sinus staph infection finally drifted away. I'm shocked that i accomplished exactly what i set out to do. The thing that killed my grandfather did not kill me. Instead, I killed IT myself, finally out of the useless clutches of my Western doctors. They won't mention anything as natural as honey and sea salt. But if you're smart, you will try them and see for yourself how beneficial these natural products are.

This is a great deal for quality bulk salt. I’ve been using it to make finishing salts. The natural pink color lends itself well to making wine infused herbal salts. I also have some in a jar to infuse with lavender flowers, which I will be grinding in with the salt.. This salt is great for creating these types of things, which make excellent gifts. I also sell finishing salts and I’m on my second 5 pound bag.

It's a great pick! It's billions of years old so you can just laugh that it has an expiration date on the doodoo bag.

I have used pink salt for years as well as Celtic sea salt. This stuff tastes wonderful! My salt from the store kept coming in large rock like pieces and the grinder would break, so I've decided to buy it pre ground now. I combed the reviews before buying ....should I buy fine or extra fine??? Someone said the extra fine was like powder. Another said the fine was morse as kosher salt! I ended up going with fine but I want to update how the grain size actually is. In comparison, I have Eden Celtic sea salt. That grain size is coarser than regular table salt you buy in a boy at the store, but smaller than the fine Sherpa salt. The fine grind Sherpa salt is smaller than the random kosher or coarse salt varieties I have bought over the years. I may be adding too much salt because the grind is coarser. I leave in open jar and sprinkle with fingers into recipes. I did over salt my chicken by accident once since because it seems like so few grains are going onto the meat. I don't have the extra fine grind. I don't want powder like salt, but if you aren't ok with probably at least double the size grains from common table salt, maybe you should try out the extra fine grind. Fine grind may shake out of a shaker ok as long as holes aren't too small, but find grind is not what you would expect to shake onto a meal at a table. I think it is totally ok for my cooking and medicinal purposes, but gauge what your expectations will be and hopefully you can use this guide.

Love this salt. Have purchased others in the past, but this one is my fav, especially fermenting, only one i trust now.

The nice large durable bag includes a huge amount of salt to enjoy. The flavor is clean and earthy, very tasty on its own or on foods. The problem I've noticed is when adding to water (hot coffee, or cold water I leave overnight in the fridge) is extra sediment which never dissolves. I've tried leaving a couple tsp's of this in a 2-gallon water bottle now for several days and that pink stuff at the bottom simply never does. I was surprised making coffee and adding this as figured between the heat and my frother, it would eliminate the sediment (sand?) at the bottom, but still, cup after cup, the sediment still remains. Glancing at the other reviews, I'm relieved and concerned I'm not the first to encounter this. Overall, I question the safety of consuming this sand, for instance, if I shake this on steak, I'll end up eating the sand, vs. it staying on the bottom of a water bottle or coffee cup. Is this safe? What exactly is this sediment that never will dissolve? I've tried crushing it and letting it sit overnight in water, still, it's there. I've actually got a jar with some that's been sitting for weeks with some never dissolved. I'd switched to Redmond's after this, which doesn't have the sediment issue and a slightly different taste. I really like the taste of the Himalayan salt, especially on meats, and recently revisited my 5-lb bag and still experiencing the same issues. Anyway, it tastes good, well packaged, discounted volume price, and all that good stuff, but on a bad note, has mysterious material in it which doesn't dissolve. Strange! EDIT: Changed stars from 3 to 4 based on outstanding customer service!

For a while I’ve been searching for a healthy version of salt, especially since learning about the microplastics in regular table salt (That's a whole other chapter to fill). This product is authentic Unrefined Himalayan Pink Salt. It's pure & simple because it’s free from anti-caking agents, non-GMO. And from an organic compliant facility. Unrefined salt is a whole food product which is easily utilized by the body. Only unrefined salt can provide trace minerals. This Pink Salt has hues ranging from a beautiful pink to light shades of red, which occur naturally due to its unique mineral composition. I'm humbled by the knowledge that I'm able to access a natural product that had taken 240 million years to form in a distant land. Until I tasted this pink salt, it never occurred to me that there could be so much flavor in salt. I felt I had missed something so fundamental as that. The rich taste of simple salt could have such an impact. When I know its pure origins, it's certainly a confidence boost, coupled with the knowledge it's handled by a company that specializes in salts. This company claims to have superior quality assurance practices to ensure inconsistencies to a minimum. So don't get put off by the occasional gritty insoluble substance that you may come across. It's possibly some naturally occurring substances in salt rocks. It's not an additive. It's salt from the earth. Himalayan Salt contains many benefits which the regular table-salt lacks : Himalayan pink salt contains around 84 trace minerals that regulate your body functions and, most importantly, maintain electrolyte balance. Due to its compact crystalline structure, the human body quickly absorbs these minerals that are essential for maintaining many internal functions of the body. The crystal is not isolated from the inherent mineral elements (84), but is connected to them in a harmonious state. These include common minerals like potassium and calcium, as well as lesser-known minerals like strontium and molybdenum. Most (table) salt products tested worldwide contain microplastics : Microplastics are small plastic pieces less than 5mm long which can be harmful to the human body by stimulating the release of endocrine disruptors. In addition, microplastics can carry other toxic chemicals such as heavy metals and organic pollutants during adsorption, which can adversely affect the human body. Regular table salt is highly processed to prevent it from clumping together & for shelf-life. Himalayan rock salts are commonly extracted through mining, where chances of even atmospheric Microplastics deposition are less. Himalayan pink salt is widely regarded as the purest, cleanest, most mineral-rich salt in the world. I’m confident enough to go with this product by San Francisco Co. because they specialize in salt. I’m happy to have this product on auto-delivery. Just sharing the good news on Salt!

THE salt has close to 84 trace minerals. Taste great, no iodine and has the amount least of contamination. GREAT SALT

Great quality and I’m happy I found this

Love it

The grains are a bit bigger than I expected. They still work if you put them in a salt shaker though.

I wanted a very fine ground. This is coarse. Does not dissolve easily.

excellent, will buy again.
