Discovery of the Himalayan Salt
Alexander the Great discovered Himalayan crystal salt at the foothills of the Himalayas. In 326 BC, at age 30, Alexander was at the height of his powers, having marched more than 11,000 miles and conquered Persia, Syria, and Egypt. During his campaign in India, some injured soldiers and their horses took refuge in caves at the Himalayan foothills where they noticed the horses licking crystallized salt. They also observed that wounded animals healed faster in the salt mines. Since then, locals have used Himalayan Crystal Salt for daily consumption and for their animals.
Herds of elephants risk injury and death in perilous journeys to hidden salt caves to supplement their sodium-deficient diets. Farmers place salt blocks in pastures so livestock can lick salt to their heart’s content.
The UMAID Himalayan Crystal Salt Licks offer the same health benefits for animals as they do for humans. They are food grade, suitable for consumption by both.

Mineral Lick Salt Benefits
A mineral lick (salt lick) is a place where animals lick essential mineral nutrients from deposits of salts and other minerals. These can be natural or artificial blocks placed by farmers in pastures.
Natural licks provide essential elements such as phosphorus and biometals (sodium, calcium, iron, zinc, and trace elements) required for bone, muscle, and other growth in wildlife and livestock including deer, moose, elephants, tapirs, cattle, sheep, and more.
Such licks are vital in ecosystems with poor nutrient availability. Harsh weather exposes salty mineral deposits that attract animals from miles away. Some fauna can detect calcium in salt licks.
Animal Lick Salt For All Pets
These Himalayan crystal salt licks are more than salt; they are a complete health supplement for humans and animals including horses, birds, cows, buffaloes, cattle, sheep, camels, and pets.
Made from food-grade salt crystals, these licks are hard and weather resistant, preventing animals from biting chunks off as with artificial licks. They come in various weights and include a handy rope for easy hanging on fences or tree branches in pastures.
