When something as simple as salt can help us have better health and feel good as well as take care of our home at the same time, it’s a real benefit! We particularly appreciate the fact that the price of salt is attractive and that it is easy to find. Many people already have it in their kitchen and use it daily…however, it is not certain that they use it as we are offering it to you today!
For cleaning the house
1) To make a burnt pan look like new
Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with salt and leave for one to two hours. Then clean it as usual and notice how the burnt marks no longer make a crease!
2) Remove limescale from the bathtub
Put salt on your sponge to help clean and scrape away marks. They will quickly become a bad memory.
3) Brilliant porcelain
To polish your porcelain, put a little salt on a soft cloth.
4) Clean coffeemakers, teapots and wine carafes
With a little white vinegar and the energy to scrub a little, no stain will resist you…especially not limescale!
In body care
5) An excellent exfoliant
Use the salt to scrub your skin and remove dead skin. It has no equal for removing corn from the feet and promoting circulation. Circular massages will not be too much to find soft skin.
6) To get off on the right foot when they are tired
Prepare a basin of lukewarm water and add 1 tablespoon of bleach and 1 tablespoon of coarse salt. Soak your feet in it for about fifteen minutes before rinsing with cold water. Wipe and coat with cream.
For your health
7) Against sore throats
Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and use throughout the day to gargle. If you want to make a compress, heat some coarse salt and put everything in a sock which you place on your neck until it cools.
8) In toothpaste
Mix sea salt with baking soda to make a toothpaste that is good for your teeth and gums.
9) A compress for pain
Heat 2 or 3 handfuls of coarse salt in a saucepan then put everything in a towel or thick sock. Close tightly and apply to the painful area for 15 minutes. Coarse salt has the particularity of accumulating heat well and therefore your compress will be warm for quite a long time.
10) Get rid of a wart
Here is what Alessandra Moro Buronzo’s guide recommends: “Cut an onion in half, and empty both halves of the central part. Fill the hollow with coarse salt and leave to act for at least an hour. Collect the juice that comes out in a bowl, filter it and apply it to the wart two to three times a day. Repeat the operation every day for about ten days”
11) Anti-aches or rheumatism with epsom salt
Add it to bath water to reduce feelings of stiffness. For rheumatism you can dissolve a good kilo of coarse unrefined sea salt in bath water and bathe in it for 20 minutes.
12) Treat an ingrown toenail
Prepare a basin of hot water to which you will add several spoonfuls of salt. A foot bath in water for 15 to 30 minutes softens the skin around the nail and the salt reduces infection and tissue swelling.
13) Against acid reflux
Fight the burning sensation and promote healing of irritated mucous membranes with a salty mouthwash which will be an excellent antiseptic while helping expectoration.
14) Genital candidiasis: soothe itching and pain by speeding up healing
Bathe in a warm bath to which you have added a cup of salt. If this makes you feel better, don’t hesitate to repeat!
15) Relieve stings
You can start by immersing the area affected by the sting in sea or salt water. A salt bath without rinsing seems ideal for a person who has fallen into nettles. Finally, on an insect bite, moisten the skin, put oil (sunflower, olive, coconut) and cover everything with salt.
