Use it to enhance the flavor of your food

Survival food doesn’t need to be bland even during a food emergency. Sometimes, all you need is just a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to bring out the flavor of your food. It can be used just like regular table salt and is great for making salt brines. Coarse ground pink Himalayan salt is better suited for cooking applications. Meanwhile, fine ground pink Himalayan salt is best used for enhancing the flavor of dishes that have already been cooked.

Use it for food preservation

Pink Himalayan salt can be used to effectively pickle vegetables and add extra flavor. It can also be used to keep meat fresh by drawing out the water content of meat products and other protein-rich foods, thereby extending their shelf life. Furthermore, applying a layer of pink Himalayan salt on dried or smoked fish can aid in its curing process.

Use it to extinguish grease fires

Because pink Himalayan salt is composed of 98 percent sodium chloride, it is therefore non-flammable and can be safely used to put out grease fires on stoves. Pour the pink Himalayan salt directly onto the grease fire to smother it.

Use it to create an emergency rehydration fluid

Pink Himalayan salt is packed with beneficial electrolytes, making it a useful ingredient for an emergency rehydration fluid to help replenish lost electrolytes. Simply dissolve 2 teaspoons of pink Himalayan salt in four cups of warm purified water. Take the solution on an empty stomach.

Use it to make a saline solution

When SHTF, you can help cleanse minor cuts and wounds by making a non-toxic, isotonic saline solution by dissolving 10 grams of pink Himalayan salt in a little of water. It is a far more effective and less painful way to disinfect injuries rather than applying the salt directly to an open wound, which is an ill-advised method which should only be done as a last resort.

Use it to maintain good oral hygiene

You can make a dental rinse solution by mixing half a teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt with warm filtered water. Swish the solution around your mouth or gargle for around 10 – 30 seconds before spitting it out. This oral rinse solution can serve as a handy substitute for toothpaste if you don’t happen to have any in a survival scenario.

Use it for pest control

You can keep ants and pesky bugs out of your home by sprinkling pink Himalayan salt around your doorways and windowsills. You can even make your own DIY pest control spray by mixing 2 tablespoons of pink Himalayan salt with a gallon of water. Pour this mixture into a spray bottle and spray around your home to keep away ants, snails and slugs.

Use it to make a non-toxic cleaner

Avoid toxic chemicals in mainstream cleaning products by making your own non-toxic cleaner. Simply mix a little bit of pink Himalayan salt with some lemon juice and spray on your sink, tiles and shower area to remove mildew.

Use it to clear ice

When you clear some ice buildup on your driveway or sidewalk, simply sprinkle coarse ground pink Himalayan salt on the affected area. Make sure to clear the salt from the pavement as needed in order to avoid causing long-term damage to the cement.

Use it as a barter item

If all else fails, pink Himalayan salt can be used as a handy barter item when SHTF. Not only is it versatile enough to be utilized a number of different ways, but when stored properly, pink Himalayan salt can also have an incredibly long shelf life.
