- Himalayan salt doesn't come from the Himalayas. It's mined deep inside the mountains of Pakistan at the Khewra Salt Mine. The pink rocks are turned into table salt, lamps, and statues, sold at a premium in Western countries. But despite pink salt's growing popularity abroad, Pakistan, historically, has seen little of the profits.

Around 60 years ago I was 7 years old and our class went on a field trip to a salt mine in New Jersey. You could literally taste the salt in the air as you walked around inside the mine. At the end of the tour we were taken to a pile of salt rocks of all sizes and told to take as much as we wanted. I chose two large rocks to carry under each arm and took them home. Mom appeased me by chipping off a little each meal for me to use on my dinner. After a few weeks the new wore off and I forgot about the salt. Later mom used the salt rocks for interesting door stops.

Wholesome story 🙂
Such fond memories visiting my grandparents each summer. Pink salt mines were a 30 minute drive, some seriously beautiful valleys not to far this same place.
When I buy pink Himalayan salt from the store:
Front label: Himalayan salt. Millions of years old
Back of label: Expires 06/2021
Me: Wow, you must have found it just in time...
Rofl
Omg this made my day 😂😂
Haha!
Lmao
Its the container that expires not the salt.
"Oh those are some thicc meat chunks"
*sees title*
"Oh salt..."
*Pink salt is everywhere* in salt grinders, craggy-looking lamps, sunset-hued slabs designed for cooking steak and even in “salt rooms” at spas. But is pink Himalayan salt worth all the attention? We checked out the science behind this recent health phenomenon.
The thing:
Pink Himalayan salt is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas, often in Pakistan. It gets its rosy hue from trace minerals in the salt, like magnesium, potassium and calcium. Pink salt is often found as smaller crystals in salt grinders, as large, glowing pink or orange chunks in pink salt lamps and in the walls of “salt chambers” at spas that promise an instant detox.
The hype:
People claim the salt does all kinds of things. It’s rumored to be healthier for its greater concentration of trace elements. In lamp form, companies claim that it eases symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), increases energy and improves sleep by cleansing the air from pollutants like dust and pollen. It supposedly does this by absorbing water molecules from the air and releasing negative air ions, which are said to get rid of particles like dust that can cause respiratory problems, like allergies and asthma, and affect mood. Spas have also jumped on these claims to offer pink salt-based therapies, where people sit in rooms and breathe deeply while tiny particles of salt are dispersed into the surrounding areas, ostensibly easing respiratory conditions.
“Marketers tout their supposed ability to release negative ions that may enhance physical and emotional health,” says Dr. Andy Weil, the founder and program director of the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. This is based on the idea that air near moving water contains high levels of negative ions, which some researchers have suggested is one reason why spending time in nature has been linked to health benefits. Whether a man-made product can produce the same effect, however, is more dubious.
The research:
Some data suggests that blasts of positive ions-like those from electronics or hot air- may impair mood and physical health by increasing feelings of stress and anxiety, and some studies show that negative ions in the air may do the opposite and improve people’s mood. But this is not a definitive claim-and pink salt lamps have not been shown in studies to generate negative ions, anyway. “There is no scientific support for such claims related to salt lamps,” says Weil.
Even air purifiers that do generate negative air ions-so-called “ionizers”-are typically too small to be effective, and experts don’t recommend them. The salt lamps may also come with a major unrelated downside. In January, 80,000 pink salt lamps were recalled after it was discovered that they could shock people and catch fire.
As for the edible salt, some argue that it tastes better than the regular white variety when used in cooking, and that may well be true for some people. “All salts vary somewhat with respect to trace mineral content and texture,” says Weil. Proponents claim that pink salt has more minerals than typical salt-but you aren’t likely to get any extra health perks from eating it, Weil says. Pink salt is nutritionally very similar to regular salt. It’s just prettier and more expensive.
Salt therapies at spas are also not yet backed by solid evidence. “Salt therapy has been used and debated for centuries in medical practice, but it’s been more recently used as a complementary or alternative medicine practice,”
says Dr. Lily Pien, an allergist at Cleveland Clinic. “At this time, it has not been definitely studied, and the true benefits are not well known.” One possible benefit of the therapy may not come from the salt at all, she says. Giving yourself 30-45 minutes of quiet time is a known stress reliever.
The bottom line: If you want to add a pinch of pink salt to your food, go ahead, but you probably won’t reap any special health benefits. There’s even less evidence for basking in the glow of a pink salt lamp or indulging in a salt-based spa treatment. The most you’ll get out of this rock is eye candy, says Weil. “Some feel it offers decorative value,” he says, but don’t expect much else.

Am so delighted to learn that this is where Himalayan salt 🧂is from
Two years ago I visited the mines and it really is amazing once you drive off the motorway and onto the dirt pathways through the villages since literally everywhere, there's just unguarded massive piles of Himalayan salt. If you're going to Pakistan, it's definitely worth a visit. Just make sure not to buy from the stores right outside the mines since they are always overpriced. I got a salt lamp for £2 just 5 minutes drive away.
I understand eating it, i don't understand having lamps and roof tiles made of salt
Probably because it's pretty.

So Alexander's horse was like, oh hey salt. And directly after that the British in the 1800s. Local people clearly had no clue. This is a pretty eurocentric interpretation of history.
Also remember that Columbus was the first person to discover America. Also the pyramids were built by white westerners (in the future we travel back in time and build them)
haha...I was wondering the same. Why there was a need to bring Alexander here? May be they should have mentioned he was running away after losing the battle in India.
@@nikhilkay1 Yeah he lost battle to king Pushpendra or Porus. Europe still revers him as not having lost even one war or that his army returned after defeating Porus coz they were tired. In reality he was badly wounded in the battle and returned back to save his life. He died some time after that due to illness(only happens to great warriors). 😉
Why do you need to keep looking out to get provoked? His horse was said to have discovered the mines, so what? I agree that they could have elaborated on the Sikh history of the mines, but mentioning the man because of whom the mines were supposedly discovered is not Eurocentric.

So the rich mine owners asks the government to pass a law that will vastly increase their profits and yet, the workers are still exploited. It's a disgrace.
that's capitalism for ya!
sounds like quite literally every big business nowadays...
you sound indian
Literally every business
@@whatthehellzgoingon what's your alternative?
Wow what a beautiful tractor 2:27
Decorating trucks*
It popular in Pakistan India Bangladesh and Sri Lanka I believe it’s tradition
@@nikhiljoshi8767 It's not done in Sri Lanka, it's a tradition practiced in certain northern areas of South Asia (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh).
In Pakistan people decorate their tractors busses and trucks
@@nikhiljoshi8767 in India Bangladesh and sirilanka I don't see it. This art is typical Pakistan
*Pakistan should have technology to process it and should export directly to Europe* ✅
@Robert Hamilton look at your low mentality even lower than a boot. Shame on you.
@Robert HamiltonDo you really think this.?
@Robert Hamilton Where are you from??
And who told you this?😂
Indian traders marketed it to to Europe, which made it so valuable. Same with African diamonds.
@Robert Hamilton Lindu Gobarbhakt💩 Spotted 😛😂🤭😁
It's beautiful to look at
So why do they call it “Himalayan”? You just glossed over that hahah
Himalaya range is a mountainous range which is expanded to multiple countries. It starts from Pakistan, and ends at Myanmar. This area is right near Himalaya range of Pakistan. Look at this image.

Bcz this salt comes from the lower himalayas
@@stangerdanger7252 Himalayan is related to India....pakistan has occupied India's lands
@@pankajsy8581 not really as far as i know
@@pankajsy8581 India means Land of Indus river. First of all get your facts right. This is Indus river.

Hamalyia starts from Pakistan. The people of Gilgit baltistan fought against the raja and became Part of Pakistan. Second, people of gilgit are more close to Pakistani then Indian people Just look at a picture of those people ,and then look at yourself. Too big of difference.
THIS IS HARD WORK

The workers deserve so much more.
Appreciated!
It is fascinating to know that the salt formed hundreds of millions years before the first multicellular organisms.
And we're putting it in our kitchen counter tops with a light bulb shoved up it, or grinding it up to put it on food.
@@MizuSky And state on the box that it will expire in 1 year
@@HAWXLEADER 😂😂😂😂😂
I don't understand what you mean. The oldest multicellular fossils in Newfoundland are about the same age as the salt. (And there are much older recent findings in Gabon.)
The Bible would disagree with your statement….
But how much can you trust a book based on the stories of drugged out men who spoke with serpents
"Himalayan salt doesn't com from Himalayas"
"French fries doesn't come from France"
"Coconut crab doesn't depend on coconut"
"Red Indians are not from India"
My whole life is a complete lie.. 😭
😅🤣😂
Coconut crabs do eat coconuts tho

Successful goals are like priceless treasures and require maximum attention to develop, which is called advice and pep talks and better opportunities for job opportunities and good work from the government.
That's a good point, but you don't just listen to speeches, you work, you work! work and work
I have met many financial coaches, but John Joseph is completely different. He said to me, "Forget about earning money and ask yourself how to double your income"?
He is a trader with whom I invest in real estate and stocks. that I always have to get used to turning a thousand into hundreds of thousands and not just spending it
great conversations happen here
😂😂 very good speech but they are right, even the trader mentioned above manages my boss' trading portfolio and is very good at his job
I love the " we are paid well - and on time" ....If you know, you know.
Farmers should decorate their tractors like that.
Health and Safety in for example the UK would probably not allow it
In Pakistan People love to do that's Decorating Tractors abd buses
Now we’re being fooled by “Himalayan” branding
Basically you just know by this that it’s pink stone salt. All that matters anyway.
I mean the himalayas are in Pakistan they start from the capital city
@@michaelloedel750 Well it's the same geological element that made the hills of Potohar from past into modern Himalayas. Look at map.
These hills will one day become Himalayas as well.
It's just the salt from the actual Himalayas has been eroded away over eons by rain etc.
your name say's it all
@Truth Teller haha, you don't get what I said bro, you can see such brand like Sherpa pink, saltworks, himalania, they using icy himalayan mountain picture, that's make people believe it's from snowy place of Himalayan mountains. Better shut up before being offensive to others comment! You should learn more
There is no health benefits associated with Himalayan pink salt. The boulders of pink salt do look pretty to have as decorations, though.
I’m so happy about this I’m ordering from this suppliers
I had a salt candle holder. My dog kept licking it everyday. I had to hide it because she loved it so much
She loved it because she's lacking some ingredients in her diet keep her doing that in forest wild dogs also do that if they find a small rock of salt or slightly burned tree part which is full nutrients
@@aditya5463 she has a salt lick in the backyard that she shares with the livestock. She can’t have my candle though lol.
She gets top of the line kibble, mixed with raw meats and veggies. She gets organ meat mixtures from the local butcher too. She just wouldn’t leave my candle alone
Understood Allysa the noodle 🍜 🤗
@@alyssa_the_noodle5228 i Dont think too much salt is good for dogs, or you really
West never misses a chance to bring Alexander the "great" in the conversation.
Greece was Alexander s land and he wasn't Christian even of today's west ... But these reporters from USA and UK why interested in their east leaders ..
What's with the quotes? He was great, irrespective of where he was from. The mines were discovered because of him, so what's your problem if he's mentioned?
Stay salty.
Wasn’t it Alexander the “gay” bcuz of his boy lover
@@parmmohan4603 Firstly, please realise that 'gay' is not an insult, it's perfectly normal to be gay, and secondly, he was not gay, that is a theory concocted by woke historians today.
This pink salt seems to work much better in the fermentation of vegetables.
Its quite sad to me how clean and bright the workers safety helmets are. I think it shows how infrequently they’re actually worn and likely were only used because of the cameras being around. I can only imagine what its like to be a worker there as i would guess they have very little workers rights.
"We get paid well and on-time." Hmm... that's not a suspicious way of wording it...
Given that they're not wearing proper protective gear makes it more sus
off camera, there was his boss holding a gun pointed at his head. he blinked twice
It’s actually not suspicious, but it feels like that in its English translation.
Relative to other people in Pakistan, $10/day is a lot. The average wage is $4/day to give you a perspective. Moreover, the cost of living in Pakistan to lets say Canada is far lower.
They get 10 dollars per day and that's good for Pakistan
