Himalayan salt, a rosy pink salt, is thought to be the purest form of salt on earth. In addition to being used in cooking, it is also widely used in healing practices, including Himalayan salt stone massage. Here are a few benefits you may experience from one of these treatments.

4 Benefits of Himalayan Salt Stone Treatment 

1. Nourishes Skin

Himalayan salt contains 84 trace minerals. As the masseuse works your skin with the warm salt, these minerals are absorbed into the body. The minerals may have a few benefits, including detoxifying the skin and body. They are also naturally antimicrobial, helping reduce the presence of harmful bacteria on your skin.

2. Promotes Relaxation

Massage relaxes tense muscles, which can reduce pain and stiffness. It can also reduce stress. Stress has multiple adverse effects on the mind and body, including disrupting sleep, weakening the immune system, and making it more difficult to lose weight. Stress can also contribute to anxiety and depression. Getting a massage regularly can help you find the calm you need to keep stress at bay.

3. Exfoliates

Himalayan salt massage also gently exfoliates the skin. Exfoliation is an essential part of skin care as it removes dead skin cells and promotes new growth. After an exfoliating treatment, your skin may feel smoother and look brighter. 

4. Reduces Inflammation

When salt stones are heated, they release negative ions. Inflammation, which can cause pain, stiffness, and illness, may be the result of too many positive ions in the body. Himalayan salt stone treatment can counteract these positive ions with negative ones, restoring balance.
