Seasonings - culinary herbs are medicines - salt as a medicine (introduction) SEASONINGS - CULINARY HERBS ARE MEDICINES - SALT AS A MEDICINE (INTRODUCTION)
Salt is a remedy for many ailments, but not in the form in which it is usually ingested. Bathing in sea water is recommended for glandular disturbances, which so often result in obesity. The thyroid also benefits from sea-bathing, and anyone who suffers from goitre or similar thyroid problems (hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism) will obtain good results from it too. If you live in a landlocked area and do not have access to the sea, you can use dry or moist salt packs at home to draw away water from the tissues. For this reason, anyone suffering from oedema, swellings of a dropsical nature, will find salt packs an answer to his problem.
Gargling with salt water is an excellent substitute for the more expensive antiseptics and herbal mouthwashes sold over-the-counter - the effect is just as good.
In cases of catarrh or inflammation of the mucosa, tepid salt water should be sniffed up the nostrils, which should then be rinsed with clear water. This simple treatment, when practised regularly, will reduce any susceptibility to respiratory ailments, that is, catarrh and sore throats. Naturally, if you do live by the sea, it would be better to use sea water, provided that it is uncontami-nated. Use cooking salt instead, if that is all you have available.
