HIMALAYAN SALT LICK

Mined from the vast and ancient Himalayan mountains, these salt licks are a 550 million year old source of minerals and trace elements for your horse or pony. The distinctive rose pink color comes from the salt’s high mineral content, including iron, potassium, and magnesium, which are all vital for maintaining health. Mass-produced salt licks are produced using salt with minerals added in during the manufacturing process, but that’s not the case with Himalayan salt, where the minerals are naturally found within the salt. Himalayan rock salt licks are literally “rock hard,” meaning that horses and ponies are unable to bite chunks off the block, a problem than can occur with softer “pressed” salt licks. These salt licks are also more weather resistant, which means they can be safely left outside in the field for horses to “self-dose.” We've found that horses like them more than other salt licks! Available in mini (1.63 lbs), small (2.2 lbs), medium (6.6 lbs) or block (4.4 lbs, 2”x4”x8”). The small and medium licks include a rope and the mini salt lick is pre-drilled with a hole but does not come with a rope. The 4.4 lb block fits in most standard salt lick holders and does not come with a rope.

Farmers have historically provided Himalayan salt licks for their cattle, horses, and other herbivores to encourage healthy growth and development. Typically a Himalayan salt lick in the form of a block is used in these circumstances, and the block may be mounted on a platform so that domesticated animals do not consume dirt from the ground along with the necessary salt. Salt blocks for farm animals can also be treated with medications, which may be convenient when someone needs to medicate shy animals, or a large group of animals.

While salt deficiency isn’t a common problem for humans, lactating cows are particularly vulnerable to it. Every day, they need salt to make milk which contains a good bit of sodium and chloride. If cows don’t get enough salt, the first sign would be a loss of appetite and weight. In time, cows craving salt would start eating odd materials like dirt, rocks and wood to try to satisfy their instinctive taste for salt. A lack of salt can initiate a number of debilitating diseases and even death.

Wild and fenced deer often suffer from salt deficiency. A lack of salt and minerals can result in reduced body weight and poor reproduction. A salt deficiency is expressed by licking foreign objects or even road salt in winter and can lead to a loss in appetite, reduced body weight, rough coat, poor reproduction and a decreased disease resistance. The need for salt differs per animal and is dependent on many unsure and uncontrollable factors. The natural nutrition of wild game does often not fulfill the mineral and trace element needs of the animals.


Himalayan Natural salt licks in the wild serve as a gathering place for various animals that make their way there to satisfy their craving and the needs of their bodies, particularly during a harsh winter. Salt is needed for the proper development and maintenance of bones, muscles, circulatory systems and even the nervous systems.


We normally think of salt more as a warm weather requirement.  Horses do require about 1-2 ounces of salt per day to provide help meet their requirement for sodium and chloride.  This requirement can increase to 4-6 ounces of salt per day in hot climates or under exercise where losses in sweat increase greatly.  Inadequate salt in the diet can result in abnormal eating behavior such as licking or chewing objects which have salt on them (fork handles etc.) or licking/eating dirt.  Water intake may also decrease, increasing the risk of impaction colic. In more extreme cases, horses will stop eating and may experience muscle in coordination.


Khalid Maqbool & Sons provides minerals that are essential for muscle, nerve and immune system functions, healthy coats and sound reproductive health. Because cattle actually seek out salt, it can be very useful as a carrier for other essential nutrients.

SALT LAMPS BENEFITS

Salt is a beautiful thing. Not only does it give our food taste and flavor – but it also can work wonders for your health when used correctly, as we’ve discussed in the past.
Himalayan salt is one of the purest salts you can buy. Not only does it taste arguably, even more, pleasant than traditional salt – it does everything from balancing pH to strengthening bones and lowering blood pressure.
You don’t even need to eat the salt to reap the benefits; simply having it around you can be helpful in treating things like allergies, insomnia and migraines.
That doesn’t mean you have to sprinkle the salt around your home, by the way – there’s a much more elegant solution, in the form of a salt lamp. Enjoy the benefits of Himalayan salt lamps in your home, they look beautiful and are good for your health and well-being. They are often referred to as ‘Vitamins Of The Air‘.
The health benefits salt lamps are numerous, and these magnificent rock formations are now adorning many people’s homes as their reputation for improving the air spreads.

Salt lamps release negatively charged ions. These negative ions neutralize positively charged ions given out by computers, televisions, power grids etc. Negatively charged ions create an environment that is similar to being near the sea or a waterfall and are what give the air in these areas that fresh feeling. The salt lamps should be lit at all times as they give off more negative ions that way.Negative ions have been found to have a powerful impact on our environment and our health. Negative ions speed the healing of burns and bring great relief to asthma patients. They have been proven to balance serotonin levels in the bloodstream, stabilize alpha rhythms and positively impact reactions to sensory stimuli, increase levels of alertness and improve cognitive abilities such as thinking and learning, while improving one’s sense of well-being on many levels.
By using Salt lamps, we can easily improve our environment, not only thorough the ionizing effects of the salt lamp but through the beautiful light they cast in a room! It is highly recommended to use them near a TV or computer, in a designated smoking room and an air-conditioned room.
You can put one of these amazing salt lamps in any room of your house, you want the air to be clean. They are perfect for a child’s bedroom, the study, next to a television and computer.

How does your Himalayan Salt Lamp Actually Emit Negative Ions?
The emission of ions is caused by the alternating actions of the crystal rock salt’s ability to absorb water, and then evaporate into the air. A heated salt lamp will attract water molecules from the air, forming a NaCl and H20 solution. Sodium is a positive ion, and Chloride, a negative ion. Hydrogen has a two-part positive charge and Oxygen is a negatively charged ion. These ions create a reaction of three positive ions and two negative ions. After canceling each other out, one lone negative ion is produced. This negative ion seeks out the first positive ion like a dust, or bacteria particle and zaps it. This is the process of positive ion reduction and is how our Himalayan Salt Lamps work. The best thing about a negative ion however, is the way it attracts dust and pollution. A recent study by the government in the USA has shown that dirt, dust and pollution in your own home or office, especially in large cities, can be worse than outside on the street. Dirt and dust is positively charged and is therefore attracted to the negatively charged salt lamps and ions that it emits. You will notice after a period of time that dark lines of dirt will begin to appear on your salt lamp. They are easily cleaned off with a damp cloth but it is evidence that your salt lamp is working, keeping down the pollutants in its intimate environment. Fewer pollutants are obviously good for anyone who has asthma or allergies.

Caring for your salt ionizer
Salt has hygroscopic properties, which means that it draws water from the surrounding atmosphere. Sometimes, in particularly moist or humid conditions, the salt lamp surface may be slightly damp to touch. Lighting it for a few hours dries it very quickly.

To clean:Wipe the salt lamp with a damp (not soaking wet) towel or sponge in order to remove dust. Once cleaned, dry the salt lamp with a paper towel or turn the salt lamp on for a while.
If you choose to place a Salt Lamp on a wooden surface, please ensure that it has a waterproof base so that you do not damage your furniture.

 Health Benefits of Himalayan Salt lamp
For centuries people have believed in the ability of Salt Crystal Rocks to improve air quality by enriching the air with negative ions, thereby increasing the health benefits to those around. Himalayan Salt Lamps made from salt crystal rocks are natural air ionizers. The negative ions produced by Salt Lamps can improve the quality of the air around us.
