Herbal Remedies For Everyone

Sea water,the major source of salt, has a history of therapeutic use. Thalassotherapy (originating from the Greek word thalassa) involves warm sea water applied to the body and usually combined with massage. Thousands of years ago, both the Greeks and the Romans recognized the therapeutic effects of warm sea water, penetrating the skin and entering the blood stream with its relaxing, regenerative and stimulating properties.
On the other hand, the American Indians (who resided in the Utah area near the Great Salt Lake) regularly drank small quantities of the inland sea water, enhancing the effects of their herbal remedies.
There are so many ways in which you can benefit from natural salt, including swimming in it and drinking it.

Salt baths
A bath with natural salt added (sometimes known as a Sitz bath) has many of the benefits of ocean bathing because natural salt contains many minerals (including potassium and magnesium) which helps the nervous system, reduces stress and can even relieve water retention. Another plus is bringing about a healthy calcium balance to strengthen bones and nails. Although salt baths are often recommended for those with health problems, they are cleansing and healthy for everyone, stimulating circulation, hydrating the skin and increasing moisture retention. Salt baths will help heal dry, scaly and irritated skin while reducing any inflammation of the muscles or joints and relieving pain and soreness. They are also invaluable for home treatment of hemorrhoids and anal fissures.
Drinking salt water
A daily glass of water with a little salt added will help:    Eliminate fatigue;Stabilize blood pressure & Reduce appetite.
Drinking sole
Sole is essentially water that has been fully saturated with a natural salt rather than a small amount of salt dissolved in water. The water has absorbed as much natural salt as it is able until it cannot absorb any more.
Here are some of the benefits of salt water sole:
    Helping the body hydrate without becoming too dilute
    Getting the benefits of the vital minerals found in unrefined salts
    Improving digestion
    Improving the quality of your sleep
    Healthy skin, hair and nails
    Helping the body detoxify
    Boosting energy
    Improving digestion and blood sugar
    Acting as a natural anti-histamine
    Helping with muscle cramps
    Improving bone health
    Reducing or avoiding vein problems like varicose veins
    Reducing blood pressure
    Weight loss by improving digestion and nourishing the body on a cellular level

How to Make Salt Water Sole
    Fill a 1 quart glass mason jar about 1/3 full of unrefined, natural salt. Then fill jar with filtered water, leaving at least 2 inch gap at top.  Cover with a non-reactive cap (LIKE THIS).  Give it a good shake and allow to sit for 24 hours.
    After 24 hours, if all the salt crystals have dissolved, add a few more salt crystals to the water. Your sole is ready when the salt no longer dissolves, meaning the water has become fully saturated with the salt.  (There should always be undissolved salt crystals on the bottom of the jar. This is your visual proof that the water is totally saturated with salt.)
    Store, covered, on the counter or cupboard.  The sole will last indefinitely because of salt’s natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
NOTE:  It is important to avoid using metal whenever possible when making and using sole as this de-ionizes the salt.
