Himalayan Salt Massage Stone Use & Care
The benefits of a Himalayan Salt Stone Massage include deep relaxation and improved sleep quality, helping to relax the body as it gently draws toxins from the skin and soothes tense, sore muscles.
Storage
Salt massage stones will last many years if properly cared for and stored. Storing your stones in an airtight bag or container when not in use is recommend for optimal longevity in humid to very humid climates, as moisture will dissolve the salt. No particular type of storage is necessary in dry climates, your stones may even be displayed in a bowl or in a salt bowl lamp.
Heating
You may heat salt stones under a warm lamp, on a heat pad, in the oven on low, low heat or in, on or under any heat source that does not emit moist heat or direct flame (this will make the stones too hot).
Care & Maintenance
For the most part, salt stones are maintenance free with the exception of some environmental conditions:
- Your stones may get a bit rough from exposure to humid or very humid air due to moist climates, use in saunas or steam rooms or on moist skin; should this happen for any reason, simply sand the stones smooth.
- You may also want to wipe your massage stones with an essential oil to protect their surface from moisture; essential oils will not melt the stones. Simply wipe oil onto the stone with a cloth or paper towel, then wipe off the excess oil and store for the next use.
- Salt Stones are naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial, so there is no need to clean your stones after use as no harmful bacteria or microbes can live on the surface of the stones, however, you may want to polish or wipe off your stones with essential oil after use as described above.
- Never submerge your salt stones in water, especially for extended periods of time, as water will dissolve the salt.

How Himalayan Salt Air Inhalers Work

Moisture in the air absorbs salt particles that then enter the mouth, nose, throat and lungs during inhalation which can aid in the treatment of conditions ranging from the common cold, sinus issues, congestion and fever to Bacterial Pneumonia, Asthma and Allergies.

As previously discussed, Himalayan Salt is unprocessed, and retains natural oils that help keep skin from drying out during salt treatments, unlike processed salts and other forms of sea salts which will dry out sensative tissues and potentially cause more issues.
From Vaginal Yeast Infections to Thrush (Oral Yeast Infections), and under-arm rashes or other rashes and discomfort caused by Candida Yeast, Himalayan Salt is a wonderfully effective, natural alternative to over the counter and prescription medications to treat Candida Yeast Infections.
From Wikipedia:
Dry saline generators are certified as medical devices in European countries, and are in use throughout Europe. Their use is increasing in North America with the escalating public interest in natural health methods.
Breathing an aerosol of hypertonic salt water (3-7% NaCl) has been found effective as a treatment for the heavy build up of mucus typical of cystic fibrosis. The benefits of this were first noticed by sufferers who regularly surfed in Australia, experiencing exposure to the natural aerosol of the salt spray.
The use of saline solution delivered by a nebulizer to treat bronchiolitis in children has also been systematically reviewed. The conclusion was that, “Current evidence suggests nebulized 3% saline may significantly reduce the length of hospital stay and improve the clinical severity score in infants with acute viral bronchiolitis.”
