What are smelling salts?
Gestures smelling salts are a natural alternative to traditional smelling salts. Instead of using harsh ammonia, Gestures smelling salts pair Himalayan salt with synergistically blended essential oils. Rather than jolting you, Gestures smelling salts help gently ease you back into the present moment.
Deep breathing proves to have many health benefits. Inhaling Himalayan salt can provide detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial benefits. Inhaling essential oils directly affects your limbic system (the emotional processing center of your brain). The limbic system is crucial in the balance of our moods and our stress response. Combining the art of breathing, Himalayan salt, and essential oils, healing can begin to take place on multiple levels.
Gestures smelling salts can help facilitate mindfulness through the practice of conscious breathing. By bringing awareness to your breath, the excess chatter in your mind can begin to dissipate, thus helping your body to relax.
