himalayan salt

I found it made my joints ache. I kept Tensing up.

What are the benefits of using this salt, can anybody summit up?

Because of the 84 minerals in Himalayan pink salt can:

Create an electrolyte balance
Increases hydration
Regulate water content both inside and outside of cells
Balance pH (alkaline/acidity) and help to reduce acid reflux
Prevent muscle cramping
Aid in proper metabolism functioning
Strengthen bones
Lower blood pressure
Help the intestines absorb nutrients
Prevent goiters
Improve circulation
Dissolve and eliminate sediment to remove toxins

I've got some Jamie Oliver pink Himalayan salt. It's salt and pink, so is mildly interesting for guests, and yes, you put it on your chips.

However, OP's reference to lamps makes me think he is talking about some other trend that has past me by. I'm not down with the kids
