However, it clears blocked noses and relieves constipation by loosening up blocked intestines. Salt, which once even served as currency, still has many uses today. According to the American health portal 'WebMD,' salt, a kitchen essential, is not just a simple seasoning. It is widely used in health-related fields, from removing teeth stains to reducing swelling.
It is well known that salt has a beneficial effect on nasal congestion and runny nose caused by allergic rhinitis, colds, or flu. It is a kind of folk remedy proven through experience. Try rinsing your nasal passages with saltwater using over-the-counter 'saline nasal spray' available at pharmacies.
If your mouth is dry or plaque (debris) builds up, bad breath (halitosis) can become severe. Baking soda fights oral microorganisms and can neutralize bad breath for up to 3 hours. Making a mouthwash with half a teaspoon of baking soda and one cup of water and rinsing for one minute 3 to 4 times a day is recommended. Previous research shows that toothpaste containing baking soda has a better teeth whitening effect than toothpaste without it. Baking soda only removes stains on the surface of the teeth and does not scratch white teeth. Salt can also be used to remove dental stains.
Rinsing your mouth with salt water can help soothe the pain caused by stomatitis and promote faster healing. Mix one teaspoon of salt in half a cup of water, then rinse your mouth with the solution and spit it out repeatedly, which can aid in treating stomatitis. Salt can be effective for mild cases of stomatitis. Salt is also good for sore throats. Rinsing with warm salt water made by dissolving half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water can reduce swelling. It can also alleviate symptoms of a sore and stinging throat. This is considered a natural gargle.
Baking soda, a type of salt, is a natural antacid that relieves heartburn. After a meal, add one teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of cold water and stir before drinking. However, if heartburn occurs frequently, you should see a doctor promptly. It is important to check for other underlying issues. Remember that baking soda contains sodium. If you are on a low-sodium diet due to conditions like hypertension, you should use a different type of antacid according to your doctor's prescription.
Salt is also good for relieving swelling and tenderness caused by ingrown toenails, where the nail penetrates into the flesh. Ingrown toenails mainly occur on the big toe. Soaking the foot in warm salt water several times a day, then applying antibiotic ointment and bandages, can help. However, if symptoms do not improve, you should see a doctor promptly. If there is pain in the foot, dissolving 2 cups of Epsom salt in about 3.8 liters (1 gallon) of warm water and drinking it may be helpful. Salt contains magnesium, which helps muscles function properly. However, there is no evidence that it is absorbed through the skin. Drinking warm water is more likely to improve your mood. Soaking in Epsom salt is not harmful.
Mineral-rich salt water is also good for psoriasis and eczema. Soaking in salt water allows the skin to absorb moisture. The redness and symptoms of the skin are alleviated. The scaly keratin and inflammation caused by psoriasis or eczema can also be soothed with salt. At home, you can add Dead Sea salt or Epsom salt to the bath and soak for about 15 minutes. Even just adding one cup of regular table salt to the bathwater can help alleviate eczema symptoms.
Salt can also be used when bitten or stung by insects. A paste made by mixing a little water with baking soda can help with itching, stinging, and mild swelling. It is also helpful for skin rashes caused by contact with urushiol from poison ivy or for hives and angioedema. Saltwater can stop heat cramps. When exercising or doing manual labor in the heat for a long time, you sweat. Loss of fluids and electrolytes can cause stabbing pains, especially in the arms, abdomen, and calves. Consuming fluids and electrolytes can prevent this. You can drink sports drinks or eat salty foods with water. In urgent cases, you can make your own sports drink by mixing a teaspoon of salt into about 1 liter of water and drinking it.
People with constipation can reduce their symptoms by dissolving Epsom salt in a glass of water and drinking it. Usually, it is recommended to drink 2 to 6 teaspoons per day. Adding lemon juice improves the taste. Effects can typically be seen within 30 minutes to 6 hours.
