What are the benefits of including salt stones in your massage treatment?

Mineral Benefits:

• Himalayan salt stones are 98% sodium chloride, otherwise known as “salt”. Sodium chloride is essential for our bodies. It can support: contracting and relaxing muscles, maintaining proper fluid balance and preventing dehydration, and preventing low blood pressure. Salt may also have a positive effect on symptoms of depression.
• Minerals such as zinc, iodine, chromium, and sulphur that are present in Himalayan salt can help repair tissues and prevent acne, heal skin infections, reduce oiliness, and kill bacteria.
• Magnesium is great for relaxing muscles and relieving muscle cramps. Many of us are deficient in this essential mineral.
• Salt particles absorb harmful bacteria and impurities that are responsible for many skin conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, and dermatitis.
• Dry salt particles induce skin cell regeneration to improve skin elasticity and hair health.
