The History & Origins of Himalayan Crystal Salt

Born of Tibetan glaciers, the Indus River runs a course through the pristine valleys of Kashmir. For a total of 3200 kilometers, the river feeds the ecosystem of temperate forests, plains and arid countryside. On the banks of the river, high in the Himalayan foothills, lies the village of Wanda Kukranwala. It was near here, in the time of Alexander the Great, that mankind first discovered “the finest quality crystal salt on earth”.

The crystal salt found here was so pure that it was used as local currency – nature”s “white gold”. Today, you and your body can benefit from the “salt of life” that nature has provided. Nirvana Organics Himalayan Crystal Salt was formed about 250 million years ago when the energy of the sun dried a primal ocean. The ocean bed was thrust skywards by tremendous geological forces as the mighty Himalaya took shape. The pure veins of crystal salt lay locked away – waiting to be unearthed.

Nirvana Organics Himalayan Crystal Salt is much more than just rock salt or the sea salt processed in modern times. It is a complete food, identical in composition to the primal ocean itself. It contains an abundance of stored sunlight plus 84 minerals and trace elements found naturally in the human body, essential for life and good health. Due to the salt”s remarkable crystalline structure, the elements are available in minute particles (colloidal size) and can easily be absorbed by human cells and metabolized.

Nirvana Organics Himalayan Crystal Salt is selected from one of the few regions in the world where salt is still hand mined, hand picked and stone ground. It takes time, but with the crystals intact, you are assured of the most beneficial, mineral-rich salt available.

Nirvana Organics Himalayan Crystal SaltTM is found in veins flowing beneath the salt mountains of the Kalabagh region in the Himalayan foothills. Our salt is extracted exclusively from the Kalabagh. The salt is hand mined from the Khewra, Warcha and Kalabagh mines. Salt from this region was formed about 250 million years ago when the energy of the sun dried a primal ocean. The ancient ocean bed was thrust skywards by tremendous geological forces to form the mighty Himalayan Mountain Range. In the process, the pure veins of crystal salt were locked away – waiting to be unearthed.
