Ran out of saline to soak my 25 day old nipple piercings is himalayan salt safe to use unlike sea salt it hydrates ur skin also hasantibacterial props?

Himalayan salt: Himalayan salt has antibacterial/ antimicrobial properties - so I do not know of reasons that it can not be used for cleansing of piercing sites. However I would not soak the metals in it because when Himalyan salt & water are mixed it can oxidize metal.
