The Himalayas are a vast mountain range that formed tens of millions of years ago when the huge Indian landmass collided with Asia. Ever since then the mountains have been steadily growing, at a rate of about 4-5 mm a year, according to National Geographic.
That is part of the reason why 9 out of 10 of the world’s highest peaks are found there, one of which boasts the highest elevation on Earth, Mount Everest. Over a thousand miles away from the world’s most famous peak, in northern Pakistan, lies the foothills of the Salt Range and the Khewra Salt Mine.
This is where most of the Himalayan pink sea salt is found. Millions of years ago a shallow sea evaporated and left behind tons of crystallized sea salt which over time became buried deep below the mineral rich mountains.
The salt mines have been open and active for well over a hundred years, yet only recently have the immense health benefits of pink Himalayan sea salt been widely recognized. The natural formation of the salt beds underground led to a number of trace minerals being added to it.
There are 84 minerals and trace elements found within pink Himalayan salt including calcium, potassium, sulfates, zinc, copper, magnesium, iodine, iron, and more. These minerals, especially iron, are what gives the salt its distinctive pink color and makes it the most mineral dense type of salt in the world. Here’s a few additional health benefits that it offers:
Helps detox our body- in conjunction with water, salt helps our bodies move toxins out of healthy cells and into the bloodstream. From there our kidneys, spleen, and liver filter the toxins and impurities out of the blood and remove them from our systems.
Lowers blood pressure- pink sea salt can actually help reduce blood pressure because it has less sodium per serving than regular table salt. The crystal structure of sea salt is larger than that of refined types, thus the crystals take up more room and fewer crystals amount to a serving, leading to less sodium per serving. It turns out that switching from table salt to sea salt can lead to less sodium being consumed, without sacrificing taste, and lower blood pressure over time.
Aids in relaxation- your mind, body, and muscles will feel better since sea salt’s composition allow it the be absorbed fast and efficiently into the bloodstream. This means tired, worn muscles are restored and replenished quickly and naturally, so your body is less stressed and can relax.
Helps with sinus and respiratory issues- a simple drink of sea salt dissolved in hot water can help clear up lingering sinus problems. It has also been shown to effectively improve respiratory conditions, such as asthma. Crystal salt rock lamps emit negative ions into the atmosphere which helps to purify and clean the air, and in turn clear up sinus issues.
There are several more benefits that pink Himalayan sea salt can offer your body. It has been shown to help people sleep better and even cuts down on the likelihood of a person developing varicose, or spider veins, by reversing damage done to veins.

He Poured A Full Cup Of Salt Down The Drain. THIS Reason Is Unexpectedly GENIUS

Salt is a common mineral which can be found all over the Earth, including in practically every kitchen and household in the world. It’s not only vital for our bodily health, it’s also a food staple that has been used to flavor and preserve foods for thousands of years!
Besides that, there are tons of different uses for salt which extend far beyond simply seasoning tasty dishes. Household Hacker, one of the most inventive and ingenious YouTube channels out there, compiled a few of the most useful salt hacks known to man in this video.
These are truly helpful so be sure to check it out because somewhere down the line at least one of them is guaranteed to come in handy! Without further ado, here is a breakdown of everything you need to know that’s covered in the video.
If you ever find that your clothing iron has something sticky or gross and gooey melted onto the bottom of it, try this simple trick to clean it off completely. Set the iron to hot and while it heats up grab a sheet of wax paper and sprinkle on a layer of plain old table salt.
Rub the iron back and forth across the salted wax paper and soon the salt will pick up the residue and cause it to clump, leaving behind a clean iron. Next up is some clever hacks for the kitchen. Eggs can be a real pain to clean up.
If you ever accidentally drop one simply pour salt over the runny mess and wait 10-15 minutes before cleaning it up. The salt will turn the liquid part to gel and when you wipe it up it’ll stay together and won’t drip or run all over, saving you lots of paper towels in the process.
Another cooking oriented salt hack involves dangerous grease fires which cannot, and should not ever, be put out with water. Pouring water on a grease fire simply spreads it and makes it worse. Instead, you want to smother the fire and one of the best ways to put it out is by pouring salt directly onto the flames, thereby cutting off what’s fueling the fire, oxygen, and extinguishing it immediately.
If you have pots and pans that are all dirty with caked, burnt on crud, salt can help clean them up. Coat the bottom of the pan with a layer of salt, add a little water, wait 10 minutes, then wipe away the mess and rinse it off. In similar fashion, salt can also clean grease and burnt crud off of a dirty sponge.
Place 2 cups of water in a small container, dissolve in ¼ cup of salt, submerge the dirty sponge and allow it to soak overnight. The next day all you have to do is remove the sponge, it should be clean and back to being usable.
This next one is my personal favorite salt hack, which I have successfully used on many occasions. It makes cleaning one of the hardest areas of the bathroom to get spotless, aka the stains on tubs and sinks, a breeze.
The method for cleaning them is a little harsh but extremely effective and you’ll need a pair of rubber safety gloves and proper ventilation, so open a window and be cautious handling the solution. Mix together equal parts turpentine and salt, about one cup of each will do, then apply the solution and undissolved salt to a sponge and use it to scrub the stains.
After about a minute you should begin to notice the spots disappearing and when you’re done the bathroom will be shiny and clean. While you’re cleaning the tub, if you have a clogged drain, salt can also help you clear it up.
First, remove as much of the blockage and hair as you can before combining ¼ cup of baking soda with a ¼ cup of salt. Mix it up and pour it down the drain, then pour about a ½ cup of white vinegar down right after, and watch as it fizzles up like a soda pop.
Let this sit for at least 15 minutes while it works its magic and eats away at the clog. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a steady boil and them pour it directly down the drain to clear out any remaining clog.
Hopefully these inventive salt uses will come in handy and make your life easier. Try them out and see how helpful and inexpensive they really are!

She Drops Hydrogen Peroxide In Her Ears 3x Per Week For a Month. The Reason Is Unexpectedly GENIUS!

Hydrogen peroxide is something that most people keep on hand at home. The bottled solution can usually be found in the medicine cabinet or stored under bathroom sinks and lasts for years. While people tend to only use it when they need to clean small cuts or scrapes, there are many other ways it can be utilized that go beyond first-aid.
The health and beauty, cleaning, and disinfecting tips that follow below are resourceful ways to save money and clean up around your house. All you need is the standard 3% hydrogen peroxide concentration, which can be found in any pharmacy or store. Depending on what you wish to do, you may also need a few other basic things, like a spray bottle, baking soda or water. Either way, these are all very simple and effective:
Clean stains on tile or stone counters- In a bowl combine hydrogen peroxide with flour until a thick, pasty consistency is achieved. Apply the paste over the stains so they are completely covered and then place a layer of plastic wrap atop it. Allow it to sit overnight while it works its magic, then remove and clean away the paste. The stains should be gone or vastly improved.
Remove wine stains from carpet- Mix together equal parts hydrogen peroxide and liquid soap. Apply it to the stained area and let it soak in for at least one minute. Using a towel, carefully blot it up while trying your best to avoid rubbing it in, before washing the spot with warm water.
Clean windows- Simply spray peroxide on the glass and wipe it off with a clean cloth. This works for other types of glass beyond windows that you may wish to clean. Clean humidifier- Pour a little bit of peroxide in with the water and run it through as normal. Any mold and bacteria that may have been present in the machine will be killed. Clean shower curtains- If your shower curtain and liner are safe to put in the wash you can treat them prior to washing by spraying hydrogen peroxide on them liberally. It will help to remove any mold, mildew, and soap scum more effectively.
Hydrogen peroxide in ear- To clean your ears and remove wax build up, soak a cotton ball with peroxide. Tilt your head to the side and gently squeeze the cotton ball to apply it into your ear. Wait a few minutes while gravity does the work for you before tilting your head the other way and draining it out.
Clean makeup brushes- In a cup mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water together. Place the brushes in the solution for at least five minutes, remove and rinse. Do this weekly to keep your makeup brushes clean and free of bacteria. Disinfect sponges- Soak dirty, smelly sponges or rags in peroxide for 20-30 minutes, then rinse and dry them off. Disinfect cutting boards- Spray on a layer of peroxide and wipe them clean.
Brighten whites- Instead of bleaching white clothing, soak them in hydrogen peroxide for about 30 minutes to remove stains and yellow discolored spots. Wash immediately after soaking and only use this on white clothes because peroxide will remove color!
Toothache relief- Mix equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide before applying it to the infected area. Try your best to hold the solution in place for at least a minute, then rinse your mouth out. This also works for canker sores, simply swish the solution around for a minute or so and then rinse.
Clean and disinfect toothbrushes- Soak the bristle end of the brush in hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes, then rinse it off thoroughly under hot water.
Whiten nails- Mix together peroxide and baking soda into a paste and then cover your nails. Keep it on for three minutes before rinsing nails clean with warm water.
In addition to the above uses, hydrogen peroxide is also an excellent, non-toxic, and cost effective way to get rid of mold. Mold is one of the most stubborn things to effectively remove. The nasty spores can infect and spread rapidly through an otherwise clean home and it thrives in damp, dark, wet places.
Some types of mold are extremely unhealthy, and potentially deadly, to breathe in or be around. The accompanying video shows the best way to deal with mold removal using hydrogen peroxide, so if you’re dealing with the tricky stuff you’ll definitely want to check it out.
Here’s how to do it; Pour some hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle, apply it directly onto the moldy spots, wait at least 10 minutes, then wipe it off. This should work well on a variety of surfaces, and since it’s an antibacterial and anti-fungal solution it works fast to kill the mold spores.
These lesser known uses for hydrogen peroxide are handy resources to keep in mind because you never know when you may need to use them. Hopefully they will end up saving you time and money now or in the long run!

If Your Hands Are Zip-Tied and You Are In Grave Danger THIS Simple Trick Will Get You Out Of The Bind In Seconds!

The idea of being kidnapped is equally terrifying as it is unlikely. Despite this, there are new stories of individuals being kidnapped every day. For this reason, it can be good to have basic strategies for escaping a kidnapper. One common example is kicking out the brake light of a car if you’re ever locked inside a truck. Recently, an organization has come up with a strategy for escaping zip ties.
Brian Black is the founder of Imminent Threat Solutions or ITS. He was previously in the U.S. Navy. While serving, he learned a lot about taking care of himself during dangerous circumstances. After he left the military, he founded ITS.
ITS is a website that teaches its readers skills that can help get them out of unsafe situations. One such situation is kidnapping. Kidnappers often use zip ties to bind their victim’s hands. Admittedly, some will prefer to use rope or duct tape.
ITS released a youtube video demonstrating how to escape zip ties if the victim’s hands are bound in front of them. In the video, the instructor tightly binds his hands with a zip tie. The tighter they are, the easier it will be to escape. He then proceeds to bring his arms down quickly while “chicken-winging” his arms.
Essentially, he raises his arms up and then brings them down quickly with his arms in a triangular position. While it is very unlikely you will ever be kidnapped, knowing techniques like this could make the difference between life and death.

The Easiest Way To Get Rid Of Mosquitoes. This Simple Trick Will Save You This Year!
For people (and animals!) who live in areas where they are active, mosquitoes can become almost unbearable. But only the female mosquitoes bite – they are what are called ectoparasites, which means they are parasites that live on the outside of their host. They use their exposed, elongated mouth part, called a proboscis, to suck the blood from a host like a syringe.
The loss of blood is minuscule and has little effect on the host, but the saliva of the mosquito irritates the skin and can leave the bitten area itching for days. Worse yet, mosquitoes act as vectors for disease, meaning they pick up the disease from one host and carry it to the next. The most common and dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses include malaria, yellow fever and west nile virus.
Mosquitoes go through various stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa and adult. It takes approximately 40 days for the insect to go from egg to adult. Once they reach the adult stage, the males live about 5-7 days, while the females can live for 1-2 weeks.
During their adult life, the females seek a host in order to get that sweet, tasty blood. Once they have achieved their goal, it takes them a day or two for digestion and growth of eggs, which they lay in stagnant water. They then seek another host and repeat.
Now that you know more than you ever wanted to know about mosquitoes, watch the video to find out how to trap them in order to avoid the negative impact their day to day lives have on ours! How well did the trap work for you? Any hints or modifications that you found were especially helpful? Tell us in the comments.

THIS Guy Saved His Pennies For 45 Yrs. He Finally Cashes Them In and The Amount Is Unthinkable!
image via – youtube.com
If you see a penny on the ground, do you ever bother to stop and pick it up? Most people never do, they just walk right by and continue on their way. The one cent value is not worth bending over for. Sometimes people may pick up a penny here or a penny there if they think it’s a “lucky” one, but they don’t stop for every stray coin they see. One man, Otha Anders, is one of the rare exceptions in this regard because he’s picked up every penny that he has ever come across for the last 45 years!
When the 77 year old man from Louisiana was asked what motivated him, he said that finding a penny on the ground was akin to a sign from God, reminding him that he should always be thankful. He added that while he strived to pray every day, sometimes he failed to do so and on the days that he would forget, he would often come across a lost penny. After he noticed the connection, Anders always made time to pray and be thankful.
Over the years Anders took his penny saving ways to even greater extremes. He worked at a school and when the children heard he saved pennies they started bringing him ones they had saved or found. He never just took the kids money, however, and instead he’d pay for them in cash and other coin denominations. He would also exchange nickels for pennies with a friend who was saving nickels the same way that he was saving pennies. In addition, he’d never pay for anything with exact change, instead he’d only use nickels, dimes, and quarters.
All that penny picking and praying certainly added up and when Anders finally decided to cash in, he had a whole lot of change on his hands. In fact, it took fifteen five-gallon plastic water jugs to contain the half a million pennies he’d collected in the past forty-five years. Since they weighed about 2,800 pounds, he needed a dolly to transport them all and when he walked into Ruston Origin Bank, in Ruston Louisiana, it was quite a scene. People had never seen so many pennies before!
The bank broke out all the automatic coin counting machines they had on hand and yet it still took staffers over 5 hours to count it all. When they were finally done, the grand total came out to $5,136! That’s a nice chunk of money and it goes to show just how lucrative pinching pennies can be.
Now that he has some extra pocket money Anders plans on putting it towards some upcoming dental work he needs to have done. And if you’re wondering what prompted him to finally cash in after 45 years of saving, it turns out that his homeowner’s insurance would not cover the pennies should they ever get stolen or destroyed in a fire. Something tells me that it would take a lot of hard work, muscle, and time to steal half a million pennies!
Check out the video for more on this story and to hear about some of the other people who have collected change just like Anders did.
