Ann Brown and Stewart Griffith decided to create Himalayan Source because of the beneficial capabilities of Himalayan salt, a trend that Ann says will "last for years." They saw a need to increase awareness of Himalayan salt in spas around the world. Through their collaboration with Himalayan Source, they combine quality spa products and Himalayan salt to provide economical and long lasting salt walls, panels, lounge chairs, and tables..
