(NaturalNews) It’s not often you find an item that’s functional as both a household appliance and a source of nutrition. You can’t eat your dishwasher, for example. It’s even harder to find such an item that becomes more valuable in an economic collapse scenario when food supply disruptions occur.
That’s why this find is so rare: Mineral salt lamps are made out of the very same Himalayan salt crystals that are usually ground up to create full-spectrum salt. But when they’re mined, they’re actually found as a solid crystal aggregate. If you take those large chunks of crystal, drill a hole in the bottom and install some simple hardware, you’ve created a salt lamp which shines with a magnificent natural glow while giving off air-cleansing negative ions naturally, without any complicated electronics.
As an appliance, it’s a beautiful light source that literally functions as an ionizer. And the best part is that if the lights go out and the financial world collapses, and you desperately need some full-spectrum salt to keep you alive (you’d die without salt), you can eat this lamp!
How? It’s simple – just break it up with a hammer. Now obviously, you’d want to remove the light bulb first (you don’t want glass in your salt, do ya?), then just wrap the salt lamp in a large bath towel and start whacking at it with a hammer. You’ll effectively grind it up into Himalayan salt crystals which can then be used in your food just like regular salt (but better, because it’s full spectrum salt).
(…)
Finally, these Himalayan salt lamps are a perfect gift this holiday season. People love the warm glow of the light shining through the salt crystals. And for those who are more preparedness minded, they’re getting 4+ pounds of full-spectrum salt that they can «hide» in plain sight!
It’s a perfect gift all around, even a gift for yourself]]).
Principales propiedades de la sal del Himalaya
• La sal del Himalaya se almacena para siempre, no tiene fecha de caducidad, almacénala hoy y ahí seguirá mil años después. Esta sal ha permanecido debajo de las montañas del Himalaya durante millones de años.
• Minerales traza. La sal del Himalaya contiene mucho más que sodio y cloruro. Proporciona más de 80 elementos más, incluyendo minerales traza indispensables para la biología básica.
• La sal conserva los alimentos. Si tienes sal, puedes preparar carnes y pescados en salazón, mantequilla y alimentos fermentados como el chucrut. La sal hace que otros alimentos se conviertan en alimentos preparados. En una situación de supervivencia, nunca tendrás tener sal suficiente. Al igual que el oro, la plata y las municiones, la sal conserva su valor año tras año. Nunca pierde valor porque los seres humanos siempre necesitarán sal para sobrevivir.
• La sal previene la deshidratación. Si a tu cuerpo le falta sal, no puede retener el agua. La sal es el compuesto esencial que permite que tu cuerpo retenga agua y se mueva a lo largo de los 100 billones de células del cuerpo. Sin sal, cualquier persona o animal moriría de deshidratación. Es por eso que los animales en libertad se desplazan a veces cientos de kilómetros hasta llegar a los depósitos de sal.
• La sal blanca procesada es dañina. Deja de utilizar sal blanca procesada: al igual que el pan blanco y el arroz blanco, está completamente despojada de los nutrientes esenciales. Únicamente la sal completa, como la del Himalaya o la de Bretaña, deberían ser utilizadas por cualquier consumidor consciente de la salud.
• Está completamente libre de la contaminación actual: la sal del Himalaya se formó en la Tierra millones de años antes que los humanos contaminaran los mares. Por lo tanto, se encuentra totalmente libre de pesticidas, PCB y otras sustancias químicas sintéticas de cualquier clase.
Propiedades de la sal del Himalaya, Dr. Joseph Mercola:
Traducción de Mónica Gómez Santos
«Al contener los 84 elementos que se encuentran en nuestro cuerpo, los beneficios de los cristales naturales de sal del Himalaya incluyen:
1. Regular el contenido de agua del cuerpo.
2. Equilibrar el exceso de acidez de las células, particularmente las células del cerebro.
3. Absorción de partículas de alimento en el tracto intestinal.
4. Ayudar a limpiar las obstrucciones de moco y flemas en los pulmones, sobre todo en pacientes que sufren de asma o fibrosis quística.
5. Actúa como un potente antihistamínico natural que ayuda a limpiar la congestión en los senos nasales.
6. Previene calambres musculares.
7. Reafirmar la estructura del esqueleto – puede aparecer osteoporosis cuando el cuerpo necesita más sal y la extrae de los huesos.
8. Regular el sueño, al ser un hipnótico natural.
9. Mantener la libido.
10. Prevenir la aparición de varices en las piernas.
11. Estabilizar los latidos irregulares del corazón – junto con el agua es esencial para regular la presión sanguínea.
12. Equilibrar los niveles de azúcar en sangre y ayudar a reducir la tasa de envejecimiento.
13. Contribuir a la generación de energía hidroeléctrica en las células del cuerpo«.

Why Himalayan Salt is the perfect storable barter item for preparedness and survival
Most people vastly underestimate the amount of salt they will need in a survival scenario. This happens because all our food is pre-salted right now by food manufacturers. So we don’t think we need extra salt. But in the absence of processed, pre-salted food, an individual’s need for real salt is surprisingly high.
Salt is essential for life. That’s why every land animal seeks out salt and craves it. It’s why ocean creatures live in waters made out of salt. It’s why human blood is fundamentally made with salt. Your body cannot retain water without salt, and when a hospital drips an IV solution into your bloodstream to keep you alive, it’s a salt (saline) solution!
Your body was engineered to like the taste of salt because your body absolutely needs salt’s minerals in order to survive.
Hundreds of uses for salt
Full-spectrum salt has a multitude of uses, including:
• Adding trace minerals to sprouts and gardens
• Making salted meats and fish for long-term storage
• Day-to-day cooking and meal preparation
• Animal licks for raising healthy livestock
• Finalizing fermented foods such as sauerkraut
• Making butter and cheese
• Bath salts, for soaking up trace minerals in bath water
Why Himalayan Salt [[Why Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt is so much better for your health than processed table salt

(NaturalNews) If you’ve been reading NaturalNews for long, you’ve heard me talk about the importance of switching from processed table salt to a «full spectrum» salt. Table salt — or «white salt» — is to real salt as table sugar is to dehydrated cane juice. Both white table salt and white sugar are devoid of the full spectrum of minerals and other nutrients that protect and enhance your health.
Here in Ecuador, I regularly drink jugo de caña, for example (fresh, raw sugar cane juice), but I would never think of eating refined white sugar. I don’t use refined white table salt, either. Instead, I use Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt because it contains the full spectrum of 84 minerals and trace elements just like Mother Earth intended. It is an unrefined, unprocessed «raw» salt that’s hand-mined from abundant salt caves that were formed 250 million years ago as ocean salt settled in certain geologic pockets around the earth.
Most of the western world thinks of salt as sodium chloride — a highly refined, processed white substance that’s devoid of nutrients. Salt is so devoid of nutrients, in fact, that in the early 20th century, doctors noticed that people who ate white table salt started to suffer chronic degenerative diseases such as goiter. This was caused by the lack of iodine in the salt.
Iodine deficiency, by the way, is the No. 1 most preventable cause of mental retardation. Eating processed salt that lacks iodine, in other words, can cause your offspring to be retarded.
Now what’s really interesting about processed table salt is that it’s missing over 80 minerals. But they only put ONE mineral back in — iodine. That’s because iodine is the one mineral that causes the most obvious disease (goiter is sort of hard to not notice).
Iodine is a naturally occurring mineral in the ocean. It’s abundant in seafood and in real sea salt, but it’s completely missing from refined white table salt.
So they started adding iodine to table salt, creating «iodized salt.»
But why would you want to eat salt that’s been artificially enriched with ONE mineral when you could be eating salt that naturally contains eighty-four minerals?
Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt contains 84 minerals and trace minerals, including iodine!
Beware of the «sea salt» scam
You’ve probably noticed a lot of processed salt companies now claiming to offer «sea salt.» The truth is, virtually all salt is sea salt because it all came from the sea at one time or another in the Earth’s history.
The term «sea salt» is essentially meaningless. White processed salt can still be called «sea salt» even though it is devoid of full-spectrum sea minerals.
The way to tell if your salt is really full-spectrum salt is to look at the color. If it’s pure white, it’s not full-spectrum. White salt is just like white sugar: It’s missing the key supporting minerals and nutrients your body needs.
Full-spectrum salt always has a non-white color. Celtic Sea Salt, for example (which is really good salt) has a brownish sandy color. Our Pink Himalayan salt is a sort of sandy rose color. All the truly natural full-spectrum salts are sandy or brownish in color.
Some other things you may not know about full-spectrum salt:
• This product stores for years. It’s naturally shelf-stable as long as you keep it relatively dry and unopened. Store in a dark, cool place for longest shelf life.
• Full-spectrum salt is a crucial preparedness item. Your body cannot live without salt, and in a crisis situation, real salt may be very difficult to come by in many areas. Storing full-spectrum salt is not only good for your health today; it’s a type of nutritional insurance against future food shortages.
• If you exercise a lot, juice a lot or live in a very hot climate, your body may actually need more salt than you’re getting. But processed salt doesn’t provide all the minerals your body needs to replenish. Only full-spectrum salt fulfills your body’s true salt needs.
• A craving for junk foods is often just a craving for full-spectrum salt. When your body lacks minerals, it urges you to consume more. This is often mistranslated in your mind as a craving for salty snack foods. But consuming full-spectrum salt (in a reasonable amount) can often ease your junk food cravings.
Where it comes from
Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt comes from the Himalayan Region of the Karakoram mountain range located 400 miles from the Hunza Valley in Pakistan. (wikipedia)
This salt is always stone ground. No metal ever touches the salt during grinding. All the salt is extracted by hand from the salt caves (ancient sea bed deposits). No salt from other sources is mixed with this salt. This is 100% from the Karakoram mountain range salt caves.
These salt deposits are roughly 250 million years old, meaning they were deposited long before the earth became polluted with heavy metals, pesticides and PCBs. While there is really no such thing as «organic» salt, this is probably the most pristine salt you’ll find anywhere on the planet. Eating this salt is a lot like going back in time and consuming minerals from pre-industrial Earth.
This is the salt I use regularly. I actually add salt to raw foods recipes (like raw guacamole) in order to increase my mineral intake. That’s necessary because I eat very few packaged foods that are high in salt. Plus, I exercise regularly so I’m losing a lot of minerals through sweating. This is why salt intake is a regular part of my diet. To me, it’s actually a type of superfood, and I make sure I get enough full-spectrum salt on a daily basis.
Note: If you have high blood pressure or eat a lot of salty processed foods, then obviously don’t add more salt to your diet. Instead, replace the junky processed salt in your diet with full-spectrum salt. Stop eating salty snack chips and canned soups (those soup cans are lined with BPA, too) and start eating fresh juice smoothies and homemade cuisine made with full-spectrum salt.

• Himalayan Salt stores forever. There is no expiration date. Pack it away today and it will still be there a thousand years later. This salt, of course, has been sitting underneath the Himalayan mountains for eons.
• Trace minerals. Himalayan Salt contains more than just sodium and chloride. It delivers 80+ other elements, including trace minerals that are needed for basic biology.
• Salt preserves foods. If you have salt, you can make salted meats, salted fish, butter and fermented foods like sauerkraut. Salt makes other foods turn into preparedness foods. In a survival scenario, you can never have enough salt. Much like gold, silver and ammo, salt retains its value year after year. It never loses value because humans will always need salt to survive.
• Salt prevents dehydration. Did you know that if your body lacks salt, it cannot hold water? Salt is the essential compound that allows your body to hold water and move water throughout your body’s 100 trillion cells. Without salt, any person or animal will die of dehydration. That’s why animals in the wild will travel sometimes hundreds of miles to reach salt licks.
• Processed white salt is bad for you. Stop using processed white salt. Just like white bread and white rice, it’s overly processed and stripped of essential nutrients. Only full-spectrum salt such as Himalayan Salt or Celtic Sea Salt should ever be used by any health-conscious consumer.
• Completely free from modern-day pollution. Himalayan Salt was formed by the Earth millions of years before modern humans polluted the oceans. Thus, it is completely free from pesticides, PCBs, and other synthetic chemicals of any kind.
