PINK HIMALAYAN SALT STONES
Pink Himalayan Salt Stones contain 84 different minerals. These minerals have negatively charged ions that assist in reducing inflammation caused by positively charged ions. These stones are heated to help suppress the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight stress response) by triggering your parasympathetic (rest and digest). This trigger will reduce stress that can lead to many different diseases, muscle tension, and feeling fatigued or exhausted.
