I believe that most of your moms always told you to drink a glass of salt water/rinse your mouth with salt water if you have a sore throat because salt can reduce inflammation.
This method has actually been proven (medically ) to be really effective and it really can help to reduce inflammation.
They have also tested on the other medical values of salt and found of that:
If you have pain in your joints/spine/body, you can simply try out this method which can help to relieve the pain (especially for old people who have rheumatism). Simply fry the salt let it settle for a while before applying on affected areas. And if you have, simply prepare a pail of salt after and rinse your scalp/hair with it (it takes about 2 weeks to a month). It will not help in the growth of new hair but can prevent cramps and pain, and also prevent skin irritation.
Hopes it will be of help to you. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
