- This factory can produce around 300 metric tons of Himalayan pink salt. Originating from caves in hardworking Pakistan, this rock undergoes massive production and is then exported to various countries.
Himalayan salt, which can include different types such as dark and black salt, serves a multitude of purposes, from making sole water and enhancing our cooking to crafting unique lamps. People integrate it into their health routines and spiritual practices, like meditation, believing it can aid conditions such as cystic fibrosis. However, concerns linger about its safety, with some worrying about potential dangers or radioactivity.
Explore this journey tracing the lifecycle of Himalayan pink salt, from its initial production in the hardworking caves of Pakistan to its eventual export worldwide.

Advertiser: We select only the highest quality rock
Workers: whatever. I just grab the one next to me and call it a day
amazing how much we can dramatize these simple rocks
4realz dawg!
This video hit my heart. I have 6 salt lights around my studio apt. It is sublime. I'm attracted to Pakistan and it's history. And I love the people. So sweet. Thank You.
Millions of years old but expires in a few months once bottled 😂
😆😆
🤣🤣 mister
a marketing fart ....
Never expires
Business techniques😂😂😂...
The Khewra Salt Mine, second largest in the world. It gets 250,000 tourist visitors every year. They produce 350,000 tons of 99% halide a year, most of it exported in bulk (or used to be) and it was processed in other countries (mostly India). The mine has an estimated reserve between 82 million and 600 million tons so they are not going to run short anytime soon.
Infact, estimate says , khewera mine has enough deposits for next 500 years.i have been there in 2010 when I was a under grad student of geology at university of azad jammu and kashmir muzaffarabad. It was a part of the field training of salt range formation, stretching from Eastern salt rang in khewera to Western salt range in Mianwali. The mine in khewera has 17 floors.7th floor is the ground floor to enter, 6 below that and 10 above. It does not only have pink salt, but red and black salt too.on the 17th floor , it has a specialised hospital for the patients suffering breathing disease due to its soothing effect on breathing.this mine is truly a wonder.it has many salt lakes inside the mine.

well india survives off Pakistan's resources they steal everything from us
So much of wastage. Removing impurities is fine but why grinding the salt and wasting just to make a perfect shape. It took millions of years to make the salt and with this amount of wastage it won’t last long.
Sad part is that contractors from some countries have been purchasing vast quantiles of this salt from Pakistan on very old signed contracts for few Rupees/Kg and then sell it in western and rich countries at over 50 times of the purchase price under their own country’s name. This salt is still sold for few Rupees/Kg in Pakistan
is this sendha namak
It sells for about 6-10€ a kg here in Europe
That is 540 to 900 rupie's for 1 kg
Good, that can partly make up for the Rotherham Pakistani child rape scandal.
they should charge more
Same thing with tea, coffee, banana, sulfur and others products
It looks good and cozy, and you can easily get the daily recommended amount of many trace minerals with all the health benefits if you only eat half a salt lamp every day!
Exactly! This is the Golden Era for Snake-Oil Salesmen.
Just lick it a few times a day 🤣
Humans sure love to exploit each other.
Don't lick the wires!
Himalayan salt is basically salt that is contaminated with rust (ironoxide).
Yes you can correct Alexander discovered Himalayan Salt. But in India we are using it from the last 5000 years.
So grateful that I don’t have to work a job where I’m constantly hammering rocks for 12 or more hours a day for next to nothing
Don’t become a prisoner
Incredible health benefits...yeah, right.
Proof it 😂
I dunno, I ate a whole lamp once with some crackers and it felt pretty healthy.
Insane is to sane what Incredible is to credible.
Discovered by Alexander ...i think people in that area was already using that
No protective eyewear, that one guy leaned over the salt block right next to the large spinning blade, just one bump and he'd fall right into it.
No OSHA over there.
Life is cheap in most countries. Only first word countries have safety programs though most are out of control like the insanity in the UK with “health and safety”
@@OpenCarryUSMC In Poland today I saw a lady on a four-metre tall ladder looking through a row of high cupboards. She "bunny-hopped" the ladder along to each cupboard, rather than climb down then up again!
OSHA does not exist
Every word used to describe this story was extremely over blown.
As if not everything comes in a plastic bag... but no... "packaged in carefully selected environmental friendly materials to guarantee the safest logistical handling process for optimal delivery to customers all over the world".
I muted the commentary.
@@ibubezi7685 Did they mean "paper bag"?
I just watched a fascinating farming documentary that highlighted the challenges and innovations in modern agriculture
I love how the video talks about maintaining purity when this salt is probably the least pure salt out there. I wonder how long the harvest of 300 tons a day is sustainable. There is only a finite amount of this pink salt left. Personally, I prefer to use pure sea salt without 80 different impurities.
Maintaining purity means it has not been destroyed like the normal table salt have. Table salt is unpure becus of the meny steps it takes to bleach and clean it, leaving you with an highly concentrate that is toxic to humans and animals, and you have no minerals left in it rendering tablesalt and seasalt very unhealthy and pointless. But it brings in cash, that's the point.
My stomatch and high bloodpreasure became normal when i completly stopt comsuming the normal salt, i only use the real deal and i feel mutch better, same goes for the food oils, i don't comsume that enymore either, pure poison only real salt and real butter.
When there are hundreds of millions of tons of salt to mine, the supply will continue for quite a while.
Himalayan Pink Salt have three diefferent kind of salt which is Pink,Red,White and black..Its global sale is estimate to about 13 to 15 billion US diollars.
6:00 intricate shapes, size and patterns... I wont be surprised they make Himalayan Salty dilxxxx too...
How peacekeepers still keep silent and occupy these places in the name of peace and security threats to US 😂😂😂😂😂😂?
What's a dilxxx
This is the knowledge of the youtubers. India has been using this salt for thousands of years, only Alex got to know later.
this salt is mined in Pakistan not india stop lying lol
Now i can see where this himalayas salt is harvested, this is my favourite salt 🧂 thanks so much for sharing this with us, stay safe and God bless you 😊💐💖❤️🌹🤗
Himalayan pink salt/ Rock salt is being used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine in the name of Saindhava Lavana ( Lavana in Sanskrit means Salt).
So Alexander just seen the rock salt for the first time in his life. He told Western people that he saw that a rock taste like salt, doesn't mean he discovered.
It was discovered very long back in time nobody knows when.
But it is being used in medicine minimum of 3500 BCE.
update your reference database
It is only time before micro-plastics are found in sea-salts. Therefore, I think that Himalayan Salt has a great future.
They are in every thing even the air. So have no worry. Besides they bag it in plastic HA ha.
You do realize that the table salt is acceint dried up ocean beds and we just drill a hole into the ground. Shove a high pressure hose down it and out comes ocean salt brine. We clean it and then sell it without a person to even touch the salt. End up pure salt. Himalayan salt is salt that was fondled by people and is basically dirty salt because it has minerals/metal in it. Apparently, like most ignorant people, don't know where table salt comes from. And mined salt is used for roads. Mined Salt is usually not for human consumption. But all Salt came from the ocean.
I want to agree, except economics pretty much force many companies to use plastic in it's packaging XD.
How does sea salt get micro plastic. Unless you are getting salt from the actual ocean which most do not, Everything from Kosher Salt to Table salt is from MILLION YEAR OLD OCEAN BEDS. What we do is drill a hole into the ground where that old ocean bed is and then force hot high pressure water down it and another hose comes the Saline liquid. Machines clean this salt and some table salts add iodine but it just pure ocean salt that never touches a human. Mining salt is for roads.
Yet another fad to separate gullible Americans from their money.
It wasn't discovered by some guy, it was used in Himalayan region before anyone would would even know it.
Gotta love a lamp you can lick!
All the “Himalayan pink salt we get in Canada says product of South Africa on it.
The salt rock is mined in pakistan. It has nothing special except the colour
Previously pakistanis used to export the rocks to india.
But we indians managed to make it a buissness hit by excellent marketing😂
Now the pakistanis got jealous and stopped exporting the rocks it to india...
They tried to capture the buissness created by us..and now they end us exporting the rocks to south africans 😅
@@admiralgeneral4466so you're happy you exploited their resources? And how is it jealousy if they market things that are rightfully theirs? From what ive gathered India manipulated the whole situation and marketed the salt as "himalayan salt" when. Its not even from Himalayas. Why is india always scamming the world?
@@admiralgeneral4466 Actually, the color is because of it's high copper content and it can be used in medicines because of that. I use it every day as a replacement for regular sea salt in my Adrenal Cocktails(Look it up).
일반인들은 그 사실을 모릅니다. 독극물로 알려진 화학원소가 히말라야 소금에 들어 있으면 독극물 소금으로 인식합니다.

This is true.
Wrong whole Pakistan is using this salt and no one dead by using this salt. There is no brand of sea salt in Pakistan. Sea salt get from sea dirty water.
Oh woah Himalayan Pink Salt so beautiful
Those 80+ minerals are in such minute amounts someone would have to eat enough salt to desiccate one's self. Himalayan pink salt is nothing more than a fad and great marketing. I have a mortar and pestle that grinds a bit of salt off when grinding course spices or fresh herbs. Other than that, it's no better or worse than mined table salt.
And one of those minerals is arsenic. Great marketing indeed!
Yes, it is amazing how they turned the pollution into a marketing gimmick. Never underestimate the stupidity of the customers.
People are stupid. They are marketing the people that use belief and marketing over facts. They don't realize that they are basically eating polluted old dried up ocean.
Isn't it the refining additives of mined table salt that makes it worse for you?
Yea it's only about 2% of your daily requirement
The only salt I have ate for over 5 years.. And I eat a lot of it. 66 years old here.
I am impressed, maybe because I never ate any of it, I am only 61.
i think Pink salt tastes great
Yep, just like sea salt.
@@Deontjie No. It is distinctly different. Some varieties have an earthy taste, and the mouth feel is way different from sea salt, especially the sea salt flowers.
Amazing i live in pakistan but never use a pink salt in my life
You haven't used it because it's too expensive or for some reason?
@@ElysiaTextas2015in Pakistan there are no modren processing factories the dealers sold these salt in RAW form to neighboring countries like India'China and Middle eastern countries they process and tag made in India china UAE etc. sold with high prices in western countries... In Pakistan this salt very cheap we use powdered shap of this salt and after powder shap salt look white not pink .. 1 USD = 280 Pakistani Rupees . 1KG price is 20pkr ... U can say in one dollar we buy almost 15kg of pink salt ... This mine near to my hometown just 55km away. We pakistan have this second and only pink Himalayan salt mine here pplz think white salt is not Himalayan pink salt but its not true in powder shape pink block not look like pink
So if you're tired of you salt lamp, remove the electric and wood socket then crush it to make yourself some salt for your next food
It must be also owned by Chinese entrepreneur
He tried to emphasize the safety precautions they use 😂😂
indian spotted
Right after dude about gets his arm chopped off by a saw blade!!! XD
In Pakistan the price of 1 kg Himalayan pink salt is near about half of dollar,(1/2-$),
We use it at our home !
30 Rupees ka 1kg milta khula salt paki mey is trah 1 dollar ka almost 9kh huwa
So you deal (briefly) with the mining of the salt and then address the various stages of its preparation into a variety of products. However the title is the programme is highly misleading as you do not explore the way in which the salt is actually made - ie the geological process which formed (in other words 'made') the rock salt and gave it its colour.
Salt is not "made"===it's produced
There was an ocean here - the Tethys sea - that evaporated away leaving all this salt.
@@sentientflower7891 After a lava flood buried the affected part of the sea.
@@paullangford8179 that's not how lava works. Also not how oceans work.
I got sucked into those salt lamps long ago. Later I found out their properties of some magical health benefits using a salt lamp was just a gimmick. Tastes good thou!
I've never bought into the notion of magic. OTOH, the light from a Himalayan salt lamp creates a pretty great environment for certain interpersonal activities. ;)
I have the lamp and love it.
Wtf do you do with that fucking lamp
I am hungry I want to eat that lamp
@@gyanjyotikashyap4766 It's actually a big hit when it comes to mental health counselors and spiritual environments. They make a soft glow that's actually pretty cool, I've always wanted one. Not to mention, I've always wondered if they increased the salt content in the air at all if it were used in an enclosed area for long enough?
Rock salt lamps are fascinating and can only be made naturally.
Amazing information about Himalayan pink 🧂🧂🧂
Needed , lamps, light, base, salt
What a load of Marketing Gibberish
These mines are hundreds of miles away from the Himalayan mountains range. Please call it pink salt.
It's in the foothills.
Few years back this salt was going to India truck loads and they were packing and exporting to the world as Indian product but no more now Indian productions ceased.
Is it happening Since 1947?
Wonder if the lamp crew sends their leftovers and scraps over to the salt guys? How many people recognize they're eating ground up rock as pink salt?
😂😂😂
the world best salt
"Health benefits?" None that any independent researchers have been able to ascertain, plus it bears noting that Himalayan salt isn't iodized. Nor do those unusual lamps fashioned from it produce any measurable ions. Save your money.
the saddest part is the company called ITTEFAQ SALT which is involved in the mining and manufacturing of Himalayan salt is not selling a single packet in the Pakistani market! what an injustice
Pls help to find the music which starts at 1:39 with the violin
@6:50 - "Skilled artisans take over"... Yeah... I see dust masks galore, but I didn't see any safety glasses, and they're beating the rocks with hammers...
They don't need diamond-tipped drills, a normal masonry drill will do just fine. Salt isn't really that hard to shape.
But they will last a lot longer.
Good one 👍
Sehr schöner Film. Danke
Amazing...I keep on hand for many dishes!
oh thats my village it can still produce salt for next 500 years or more.😊
the workers who handle this salt and breath in vapors.....hows their health? maybe spectacular!
A little of the salt dust in the air helps the respiratory system. Too much and you get damage.
@@paullangford8179 thats what i mean. do they get too much? no one talks about that
@0:24 INDIA (BHARATH) MAP is incorrect plz change it to the correct guideline given my INDIA..
always check the best before date!
Best Before August 6024
Batu bermineral....👍👍👍
In Bharat (ie India) we use Himalayan salt as consumables during Fasting from thousands years ago
In a fancy jar / grinder in a poncy shop it can be quite expensive, however, if you go to a tack shop to purchase this for your horse, its normally a large chunk at less than a fraction of the price !!! It does state on it though " not for human consumption " !!!! Surely its the same salt ??
Yeah I’d guess it’s fine just not put through as extensive oversight as food made for humans like how you can eat dog food and it won’t hurt you but it’s not exactly recommended it’s not really that dangerous either
@@geekgirl616 i have eaten dog food on the odd occasion, generally i either buy it from Mc Donalds, Farmfoods ready meal selection or Grouts the bakers in the form of a sausage roll or a Pastie 👍
@@merlin5476 lol while close enough in quality the standards of inspection are still slightly higher than they are for Fido 😂
@@geekgirl616 👍 unless you go to the local kebab shop .
✔✔ Super interesting.
Pakistan has Asia's number 1 and World's 2nd Biggest salt mine in khewra. Its not produced in himalya its found in khewra salt mine ranges Pakisan.
Yes, Khewra Pakistan is one of the biggest salt mine ion the world.
So very cool
I have such a lamp, if I remember correctly, about $10~$20 each
How much of the pink salt you buy is genuine?
0:24 India map or Chinese map 😮
Himalaya s pink salt ❤
This ad was brought to you by the Himalayan salt marketing board
This is the first time I know that this 🧂 has a specific name 😂
Love from Pakistan ❤
God is very rich! Creating and owning all these stones. We, who are His should be rich too.
Trying to make it sound more elaborate than it is.
King Alexander's horses started licking mountains in khewra Pak, that's how they discovered salt there. It should be named Khewra Pink Salt!! its healthy salt.
I am from Pakistan 🎉🎉🎉
Silly me. I thought Himalayan salt came from the Himalayas.
Pothohar Plateau south of the Himalayas in Pakistan
what health benefit?
None. The only real benefit is the modification of taste, which is different for the red salt compared to others such as sea salt.
oh wow, this is real? i thought it was all marketing salt lamp fluff - super rare for only $14.99
I've never had pink salt but I heard it is good.
It's just regular rock salt colored by a tiny bit of iron oxide (aka rust).
It's just polluted dried up ocean bed. Nothing different. Bet you can go buy it at your nearest dollar store.
Tastes kind of salty
It’s great for cooking! Tastes like a more mild version of the table salt we all grew up knowing. It really brings out the flavor of your dish. And depending on where you buy it from, it can be much cheaper.
Title should be " How pink salt lamp are made " .
I find only very small grain or too large grain salt. There is nothing in between, like sea salt. Have you noticed that?
It's seems like there was a sea before mountain range happened.
We understand the value. Thanks 😅
less salt more rocks grinded and you are eating this ground rock salt everyday. I bought crystalized one and I find many unsolvable crystals which are simply rocks when you taste them. So, don't go for ground ones as you might ended up in eating the ground rocks.
A GREAT VIDEO AND I JUST ORDERED ONE FROM AMAZON, CAN HARDLY WAIT TO GET THIS UNIQUE LAMP!!
Please lower the caps and be more respectful of others commenting here.
Pakistan ❤
Wonderful.. MashAllah
What happens to the rejected product?
Dealt with when the cameras aren't there
Hi everyone, i was blessed to visit this factory 6 months ago. On TH-cam its pristine, believe me, this is not the case. Anyway, enjoy the product
Lets be honest the PPE is for show. In reality Abdu is scratching his nuts from the inside then packaging the salt. Typical mass production in a country that doesn't give a fuck.
It looks filthy and dirty on this video. Imagine how gross it is when the cameras aren't there.
This vid has put me off pink salt.
I've also watched the sea salt video and that doesn't make me feel better either.
@@jazzylyn5857 Try to visit the grinding meat process of those famous hamburguers and you'll find this very clean....
Made for youtube 😮😮😮
Been working in many food industries in my life. Believe me, this is a rather good one!
Even worse that this one is in Pakistan, the ones i worked with were all in Europe...
I am feeling proud that Himalayan Salt belongs to Pakistan.
whats there to be proud for that..👀
I bought 2 of the lamps but went out of order after a few months of use 😂
So use them for cooking (after removing the electrical stuff).
I haven't tried this type of salt yet, is it very expensive?
About 100 times what it is worth, but salt is generally pretty inexpensive. Not like pre-industrial society where salt was expensive and rare in some parts of the world.
5:22 bro doesn’t care about his hand
Fireproof . Just salt.
This salt when purchased from the grocery, has an unsafe level of lead in it. But how exactly does this occur, naturally, during the mining process or other processes ?
What happens to the salt that is discarded?
little billy has his fill
I always wondered...no more tho.
a lot of hands on my salt
In pakistan it cost pennies to buy this salt.
Why lamps? As in, are there any benefits or is it just aesthetics?
improving air quality, easing respiratory symptoms, helping boost mood, and helping with skin conditions
I wouldn't mind working at one of these factories
If you enjoy having all your fingers and hands you would. Safety is definitely NOT A#1 at this salt factory.
Is it not a waste of nature's resources in convertig them in to lamps ?
