This will now be a 2-part post since I recently deleted an old website of mine and decided to first combine the related pages together before I start adding all the stand-alone articles amid multiple blogs and whatnot. Anyway, back to the subject at hand (or feet?) ...
Part 1: "Himalayan Salt Detox Patches Bogus?"
There is an obvious market out there that caters to our toxic world, but
that doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of bogus products out there.
While Himalayan salt products are well known for being a healthy
alternative, these particular detox patches that you supposed to slap on
your feet seem to be slightly, uh, scam-like. The concept behind this
product is that the salt will draw out unwanted toxins through your
feet. You suppose to wear these patches when you sleep, for 5 days in a
row. They are usually sold as 10 patches (Two 5-day regimens).
By what I could tell, the main proponents of this product are the ones
selling it. The other reviews I read, didn't sound so favorable, except
for this one person that was amazed at how dirty their patch was after
using it. Hmm... I mean seriously, if Himalayan salt is going to be used
for your health, wouldn't it be better to just buy the bath salts or
simply eat the freakin' salt? A good link that provides a detailed
review, can be found here: www.doesitreallywork.org/himalayan-salt-detox-patches-review/
There are so many ways to assist your body with the detoxification
process, albeit your kidneys and liver (if functioning halfway normal)
supposed to do most of the work anyway. Simply monitoring what you eat,
drink and breathe goes a long way, but who knows, maybe this product
actually helps. I just posted this in case somebody knew for sure if
this product was bogus or not.

Part 2: "Himalayan Salt Products, Lamps, Tea Light Candle Holders..."
Original Post Date: 10-11-2010
In a recent post, I spoke about bringing some flare & creativity to your home by adding Infinity Mirrors into the mix. Well, not everybody has the money to spend on those creative-looking mirrors… But, a more affordable (possibly healthier) alternative is Himalayan salt products, whether it is via lamps, tea light candle holders, globes, fire bowls, etc. There is a large variety of products available, when it comes to all-natural Himalayan salt.
When I say, “possibly healthier,” I’m referring to the notion that the negative ions released from Himalayan, all-natural salt products, when warmed by candle or electricity, is believed by many to enhance your overall sense of well-being. Negative ions found in nature, produce a calming, relaxing atmosphere – sort of like the atmosphere that is negative-ion rich when you are near a waterfall, in the middle of the woods, by pure mountain air, just after a thunderstorm, close to a seashore, and so on. Hey, when thinking about the possible health benefits in addition to the glowing beauty from lit Himalayan salt products – along with the low costs – it is well worth the research…
This is what an illuminated ‘Salt Lamp Fire Bowl’ looks like:
The ‘salt lamp fire bowl’ is one of the more expensive products in this particular category, but you get what you pay for, in this case – which is a nifty, unique display of glowing bliss. Personally, I’ve only purchased the candle holders and lamps, but I’m quite pleased with ’em, so I saved my money by not buying the blazing bowls, even though I’ll probably snag some up in the future. By the way, these make for excellent gifts for the hard-to-shop-for individuals, whether it is Christmas time or Birthdays.
This is what the lit ‘tea light’ candle holders look like:
If you’re a big fan of
lighting candles and are thinking about buying Himalayan salt crystals, then this is probably your best option. They are very affordable and attractive. I have these suckers all over the place in my home and, hey, they look great even without the lit candle. They bring a very natural look to your living space, if nothing else.
Well, there are several other types of products that relate to Himalayan salt, but I’ll let you search for your own self. However, I will at least help you get started with an Amazon (affiliate) link, and you can go from there - if interested.
