How 800 Million Pounds of Himalayan Salt Are Mined Each Year | Big Business | Business Insider

Interesting Fact: scientific studies have shown that sleeping in a room that has a Himalayan Salt lamp, has the same heath benefits as sleeping in a room that dose not have a Himalayan Salt lamp.

When I buy pink Himalayan salt from the store: Front label: Himalayan salt. Millions of years old Back of label: Expires 06/2021 Me: Wow, you must have found it just in time...

Around 60 years ago I was 7 years old and our class went on a field trip to a salt mine in New Jersey. You could literally taste the salt in the air as you walked around inside the mine. At the end of the tour we were taken to a pile of salt rocks of all sizes and told to take as much as we wanted. I chose two large rocks to carry under each arm and took them home. Mom appeased me by chipping off a little each meal for me to use on my dinner. After a few weeks the new wore off and I forgot about the salt. Later mom used the salt rocks for interesting door stops.

Such fond memories visiting my grandparents each summer. Pink salt mines were a 30 minute drive, some seriously beautiful valleys not to far this same place.

I thought it was hilarious when he said it goes through a quality check and its three dudes staring at the rock lol

"Oh those are some thicc meat chunks" sees title "Oh salt..."

Just came to mention how fanciful their hauling truck was decorated❣

I have about 20 of the salt lamps. All purchased at thrift stores for around $5. They are best if you replace the clear bulb with a coloured Christmas bulb….different colours. Really neat effect.

"Mom, we're out of salt!" "Don't worry, just grab the lamp in the living room."

I mean if it was called Pakistani Salt you'd just scare away all of the Americans

I had a lamp from Amazon that was on 99.6% of hours for 6 years somewhere around 50% brightness. The LED array finally died. I think it was $25. Not a bad deal if you ask me, but I couldn't fix it myself. It's just a comfort thing. The warm glow is cozy .

"The weight of 157 elephants" America will use anything but the metric system.

2:24 can we just appreciate a driver of that tractor ? I've never seen anyone putting so much love and beauty in this type of machine. It looks amazing !

Here in Pakistan Himalayan salt cost less then sea salt 😂

My three salt lamps give off a beautiful soft ambient glow : 1 white, 2 pinks & a pink night light. Interesting to see where they were mined.

I just love this video, I use pink salt in my cooking and coffee and I have a pink salt lamp. Bless you all for all the hard work and pride that you have for mining the pink salt. 💗

I hope one day, I will be able to see Pakistan implementing labor safety laws.

“But we get paid well and on time.” Lmao. He is reading from a script.

I got to visit the Khewra mines this year. The drive from there to Lahore is brutal, with bad and dangerous mountain roads. It's crazy how they move all of this

Thank you to all the hard workers that mine this for the world to appreciate.
