Long used for preservation, as well as cleansing and clearing, salt is one of the most important minerals available to mankind. In fact, it is vital and essential for living. While you likely know about some of salt’s healing properties, you may not know them all.
Here are 6 of my top methods for using salt to clear your energy:
1. Take a salt bath. Before my family and I moved to a home on the ocean in 2017, we lived in Michigan – a place not known for warm weather all year. As a result, I found myself intuitively taking salt baths every chance I could. Sometimes several days in a row. Although I live just steps from the ocean now, I still take sea salt baths every now and then – especially if the weather is bad or I need some privacy. To make a salt bath, all you need to do is take a cup of sea salt or pink Himalayan salt, mix it with an equal cup of baking soda, and run the bath. Spend at least 20 minutes soaking in the tub. Note for people who use hair color: salt while strip your color, so do not immerse it in the water if you color your hair.
2. Make a salt scrub. No time for a full bath? Make a salt scrub you can use on your hands, feet, or chest when you need a deep cleanse in a little time. To create it, check out the easy recipe
here, or simply mix Himalayan or sea salt with some liquid coconut oil and a few drops of an essential oil like rosemary or lavender. You can also use this mixture in the shower to do a deep clean and slough off old skin (and energy). Apply gently to freshly-washed skin, leave on for 1 minute, and gently rinse away.
3. Swim in the ocean. The ocean has long been known for its healing properties; not only for the negative ions it produces but also because of its color, blue. According to Wallace J. Nichols, marine biologist and author of Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do: “[O]ur brains are hardwired to react positively to water … being near it can calm and connect us, increase innovation and insight, and even heal what’s broken.” If you’re not near an ocean, a saltwater pool or saltwater bath also works.
4. Eat fruit, such as cantaloupe, honeydew or watermelon, dipped in sea salt or pink Himalayan salt. Although eating salt was thought to be terrible for the heart and blood pressure just 5-10 years ago, many doctors are changing their tunes on salt today. According to Dr. Steven Lin, speaker, and author of the International #1 Amazon Best Selling Book, The Dental Diet:
“We used to think that our bodies weren’t very good at regulating salt levels. For example, it was believed that if you ate more salt, you’d become thirsty and drink more water, which would cause you to dilute the sodium levels in your body. However, studies are finding that salt has many benefits in the body, including increasing body water conservation and making you less thirsty – probably the opposite of what you might have guessed. This means that your body can prioritize its salt levels, which has been shown to help manage metabolism in a positive way.”
That said, it is still important to keep your salt intake below the recommended levels. Equally as important is the type of salt you ingest. Dr. Lin suggests staying away from normal table salt and using
Pink Himalayan Rock salt or
Celtic Sea Salt.
5. Place small bowls of salt around your living space. I love to put salt mixed with a few drops of rosemary oil in little bowls and leave it on my nightstand, dresser, or even in drawers near my crystals to cleanse them and the environment.
6. Use a salt lamp. Salt lamps are an easy and inexpensive way to clear and cleanse the air in your home. They work by creating negative ions, something that helps balance the ions in the air – restoring and neutralizing air quality, improving health and improving health. Simply order one online or buy one, plug it in, and let it do the work. Personally, I like to keep a salt lamp in every room of my house. Get yours today by clicking here:
