Every piece of Himalayan salt tells a story that began over 250 million years ago. Formed under extreme pressure deep within the Himalayan mountains, this pink crystal salt has become one of Pakistan’s most valued natural resources. Today, it is loved worldwide for its purity, minerals, and versatility.
But how does it travel from the rugged salt mines of Punjab to living rooms, spas, and kitchens across the globe? Let’s walk through the fascinating journey of Himalayan salt.
The Origin — Khewra Salt Mines
Located in Punjab, Pakistan, the Khewra Salt Mines are the second-largest salt mines in the world and the only true source of Himalayan pink salt. Known as the “Kingdom of Pink Salt,” these mines hold billions of tons of crystal salt, discovered centuries ago by Alexander the Great’s troops.
The Extraction Process
The salt is carefully hand-mined using traditional methods to preserve its natural purity. Unlike heavily processed table salt, Himalayan salt remains chemical-free and rich in minerals.
Workers carve out salt in blocks, chunks, and raw forms, which are then transported to factories for cutting, shaping, and finishing.
Crafting into Products
Once extracted, the salt undergoes specialized crafting to transform it into a wide variety of products, including:
- Salt Lamps & Candle Holders for ambiance and wellness.
- Bath & Body Salt for relaxation and skincare.
- Animal Lick Salt Blocks for livestock health.
- Edible Salt for cooking and seasoning.
Each product passes through strict quality checks before being prepared for export.
