Himalayan Salt is mined from the base on Himalayan mountain range in Punjab, Pakistan. Our Himalayan Salt source is certified Halal by Halal Certification Board recognized by Department of Islamic Development Malaysia.

All types of salt which including table salt has its origin from a sea or a salty body of water, but not all salts currently on the market come from the oceans in existence today like Himalayan Salt. What does that mean? Salts that are not sea salt are often derived from underground salt deposits left behind by seawater at some point. 

The main difference between Himalayan Salt and regular table Salt is primarily that Himalayan salt is often mined by hand and very pure with little process, it is one of the closest natural source of salt and it contain 84 traces of mineral (sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron and others) that benefits our body. Whereas table salt is a process salt where during the process of cleaning it removes all its minerals and impurities and furthermore added with anti-caking agents to keep clumps from forming.

Sodium does not only play a key role in our health as one of the important minerals it is also one of the key components in electrolytes that becomes ions in solution and acquire the capacity to conduct electricity in our body. Balance of the electrolytes in our body is essential for normal function of our cells and our organs besides the enough level of sodium in our body will prevent muscle cramps. 

 For excess sodium in our body it will be excrete in urine and sweats. Sodium controls the total amount of water in the body and the transmission of sodium into and out of individual cells also plays a role in critical body functions. Many processes in the body, especially in the brain, nervous system, and muscles, require electrical signals for communication. The movement of sodium is critical in the generation of these electrical signals. Therefore, too much or too little sodium can cause cells to malfunction, and extremes in the blood sodium levels (too much or too little) can be fatal.
