Salt- With a Dash of Pink

Considering a spa day full of relaxation? If you've answered yes, than you may also want to consider a trip
outside the country! Pakistan has recently completed the construction of a salt spa.  The salt is of a special kind- pink rock salt. The salt was directly extracted from the Himalaya mountains and poured into this extraordinary project. Although costly, selling at one U.S. dollar per ounce, government officials are solemly convinced that the salt has medicinal powers. This sort of salt contains 84 minerals. It has been said that its medicinal purposes can range from helping lower blood pressure, accomplish quick weight loss, respiratory issues, pain remedies, and helping with skin problems. During a visitors time at the spa, the salt is actually absorbed directly into the skin due to the nothing-but-salt surroundings! 1,400 tons of this salt was used strictly for this project. The one menacing issue in regards to the spa is the possibility of it dissolving. However, the spa's creator doesn't fret. He owns a mine and says any dissolved salt can easily be replaced.
