Use the granulated form of Himalayan Salt as you would any other salt, for cooking and seasoning to taste.
Brine Solution:
Put approximately eight to ten 2"-3" Himalayan Salt crystals per quart of water in a resealable container (we recommend a glass jar for best results). Fill the container with high quality spring water. A brine solution will begin forming, which is ready for consumption in around 10 hours. The longer the crystals dissolve, the stronger the brine solution will become. Add more crystals, one to two at a time, until the crystals no longer dissolve. At this point, the brine solution is approximately twenty-six percent salt to water, which research has shown to be at an optimum consistency for absorbtion into the human body.
This brine solution is absolutely sterile and germ-free. It can therefore be stored for years in a closed glass container without changing or decomposing.
Once the brine solution is prepared, it has a variety of uses:
- Nutritional Supplement: Take 2-3 teaspoons of bring solution in a cup of water, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The brine solution can also be consumed throughout the day in microdoses (approximately 1 teaspoon per quart of drinking water). IMPORTANT - take care not drink too much as this can have a mineral flushing effect.
- Cooking and seasoning to taste: The benefit of using brine solution lies in the uncompromised molecular structure of the salt crystals, which allows molecular information from the salt cells to be transferred more directly to the human cells. Sprinkle solution onto food in place of table salt.
- Bathing: Please see below.
Bathing:
Bathing in a brine solution or water enhanced with salt crystals will rejuvenate and stimulate your skin according to its needs. It has a strong purifying and re-mineralizing effect. It restores the balance of energy levels and provides extreme relaxation. Himalayan Crystal salt in the bath is great for aches and pains and also helps to beautify your skin. Add salt crystals in your bathtub, and they will dissolve in the water slowly as your tensions of the day also melt away.

Full Moon Bath: On the day of full moon the body's absorption potentials are at their peak. At full moon, the body will absorb the most minerals from the salt bath. Weak points are harmonized and the body's own energy flow is activated.
-
New Moon Bath: At the new moon the body's capacity for detoxification at its highest. This is an ideal time for a cleansing salt bath.
- Soothing Bath: A salt bath is ideal any time for helping to sooth sore and strained muscles. For this bath especially, hotter water is better. Although, do not make the water too hot, or you are liable to burn yourself.
-
How to prepare for bath: Add one cup (1 lb. for moon phase baths) of small pieces of Himalayan Crystal Salt when you start running the water for bath. Most of the Salt Crystal will dissolve by the time the bath is ready. If using brine solution, add 1 quart to the bath water. Soak yourself for 20-30 minutes. Do not towel dry. Resting for 15-20 minutes is recommended after the bath.
