Alexander the Great discovered Himalayan Crystal Salt at the foothills of the Himalayas. In 326 BC, he fought against King Porus at the Battle of the Hydaspes River in Punjab. Although victorious, Alexander's exhausted army refused to go any further into India. Some of the injured soldiers, along with their horses, took refuge in the caves at the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. Here, they noticed that the horses were licking rocks – which were actually crystallized salt – and that the wounded animals healed much faster. Since then, the locals began to use Himalayan Crystal Salt for their daily consumption, as well as for their horses and cattle. Elephants would risk injury and death in a journey for hidden salt caves to supplement their sodium-deficient diets. Providing the same level, food-grade salt for humans, the Umaid Himalayan Crystal Salt Licks can have the same profound positive effects on your animals as crystal salt has been scientifically shown to have on humans. A mineral lick – also known as a salt lick – is a place where animals can go to lick essential mineral nutrients from a deposit of salts and other minerals. The right salt lick contains up to 84 minerals and trace elements which are extremely beneficial for the growth and overall health of all farm animals, big game animals and pets. Umaid’s Compressed Salt Animal Licks are made using 100% Himalayan Pink Salt, which naturally contains 84 highly absorbable trace elements – including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc and, of course, salt! As such, it’s an ideal balance between a salt lick and a mineral block that’s organic and unprocessed to help improve the health condition of animals. Mineral licks can be naturally occurring or artificial, such as blocks of salt that farmers place in pastures for their livestock. Natural licks are common, providing essential elements and the biometals required in the springtime for bone, muscle and other growth in deer and other wildlife, such as moose, elephants, tapirs, cattle, woodchucks, domestic sheep, fox squirrels, mountain goats and porcupines. Such licks are especially important for animals in nutrient-poor ecosystems – as can be seen when harsh weather exposes salty mineral deposits and draws animals from miles away for a taste of needed nutrients. Much more than just salt, these Umaid Compressed Himalayan Pink Salt Animal Licks are complete health supplements for both human and other living creatures, including horses, birds, cows, buffaloes, cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits, camels and pet animals. It is also thought that certain fauna can detect calcium in salt licks – attracting various wild animals, such as whitetail deer, mule deer, elk, moose, antelope and more. Animals can easily gain access to this beneficial mineral block to get their essential nutrients. Each Umaid Compressed Himalayan Pink Salt Animal Lick comes with a premium-quality, sturdy rope, allowing you to easily hang it on fences and branches of trees in the pasture. Unlike artificially made licks, these food-grade blocks of salt crystal are extremely hard so animals can’t bite off chunks and they’re also weather-resistant – lasting three times longer than a pressed salt lick! Umaid’s Compressed Himalayan Pink Salt Animal Lick is made using 100% natural Himalayan crystal salt from the primal ocean – the source of life – which is as pure and unpolluted today as it was thousands of years ago. The mined salt is then compressed into a 5.5-pound compressed block, containing only all-natural ingredients and free of any iodine, preservatives, chemicals and additives for safe use with an assortment of animals.
