I read articles that say the himalaya's salt is beneficial&doesn't raise blood pressure but other articles say that it raise bp like normal salt.

Differences: Himalayan salt is claimed to contain magnesium, and other elements which are absent in general table salt. The science dealing with salt and blood pressure elevation is somewhat contraversial and it would behoove you to discuss this further with your doctor.
