Giddy Yo - Superfoods - SALT, Maras Pink Mt Salt - PERU - 8 oz / 227 g

Giddy Yo Maras Pink Mt. Salt is not harvested from the current ocean water but instead originates from a supply of salt created over a million years ago when tectonic plate movement buried salt deposits deep beneath the Andes mountains. These man-made salt pans fill with brine channeled from a deep underground spring. Eventually, the water naturally evaporates due to the intense sunlight and leaves behind crystallized salt. The salt is then hand-harvested by local families who manage their particular pan. When all the salt crystals are removed, the pan is filled with the salt water again. These salt pans have been operational for more than 500 years and are believed to be originally constructed by the Wari civilization, which pre-dates the Inca. Giddy Yo Maras Mountain Salt is as equally amazing for bathing as it is for cooking. Submerging in warm water relaxes the body and mind, dilates the pores allowing the body to absorb minerals and excrete toxins. Salt helps to stimulate and activate circulation, may help to reduce cellulite and purifies the skin. Giddy Yo Maras Mountain Salt may help improve common irritations such as insect bites, minor rashes, calloused feet, as well as more serious skin conditions like athlete's foot, eczema, and psoriasis.
