Characteristics and properties of pink salt
Not all salts are the same ... in fact for this remedy the best salt to choose is the raw Himalayan pink salt . This pink salt contains over 80 mineral salts and other substances beneficial to our body.
Instead the common white salt often goes through processes in which many of these substances and mineral salts are lost in addition to other chemical bleaching and technical processes that make the salt much poorer.
The pink salt as we can already understand from the color is instead rich in substances and also from the taste we can perceive the difference between these salts.
The pink salt in particular also has an action on the parasympathetic nervous system that is able to stimulate the relaxation of the body. This its relaxing action obviously favors sleep and removes the problems of insomnia.

Characteristics and properties of honey
Even the choice of honey must be very accurate indeed it is preferable to have a raw honey of biological origin to be so safer that it does not contain substances of synthetic chemical derivation.
Honey can be millefiori or a specific flower such as acacia, lime, chestnut, clover, etc ... In case of respiratory problems and stuffy nose we recommend honey that comes from aromatic herbs such as thyme or honey eucalyptus.
The essences present will also help to strengthen the immune system and allow better disinfection of the airways. This help will allow you to breathe better during the night or before falling asleep, thus succeeding in removing the problems of insomnia related to this aspect of difficult breathing.
The honey in its composition contains natural sugars that have the function of stimulating the production of insulin, helping the passage of tryptophan in the brain.
This activity is particularly important because tryptophan is the amino acid we need to stimulate sleep and therefore the better we can sleep. Furthermore, honey in general already helps to brighten sleep and even if sweet is a sweetener that does not raise blood sugar too quickly.
This helps to keep blood sugar levels more stable and to avoid insulin changes and relapses that have similar effects on mood. On the other hand, our liver stores glycogen from these honey sugars and stores them.
When the body has glycogen reserves it is quiet and the hormonal secretions of the adrenal glands are lowered with decreasing of cortisol and adrenaline, called for precisely stress hormones.
In conclusion, taking these two natural ingredients together is a real cure for the body and helps to combat all these problems of insomnia and sleep problems.
