5 healthy ways to use salt

Allergic rhinitis: Rinse nose with diluted saline

Allergic rhinitis is an immune disease caused by inhaling allergens that lead to inflammation of the nose. The symptoms of this disease are not too serious, so you only need to use saline solution combined with a nasal irrigation machine. In addition to saline solution, you can also dilute saline solution by mixing one liter of warm water (37 degrees Celsius) with 9 grams of salt.

Sore throat, swollen gums: Use warm salt water to gargle

If you have mild soft tissue inflammation such as sore throat, wisdom toothache, swollen gums, use warm salt water to gargle. Gargle 3-6 times a day, about 10 minutes each time. Warm salt water can create a layer of salt in a short time, thereby reducing inflammation, antibacterial and temporary pain relief.

Stomach ache: Warm compress with salt

When experiencing cold abdominal pain or menstrual cramps, applying warm salt compresses helps speed up blood circulation, relieve pain, and prevent cold.

To make a salt compress, put a large amount of salt in a pot and heat it up. Next, put the salt in a towel or cotton bag and place it on your abdomen. Be sure to check the temperature first to avoid burning your skin.

Dehydration due to diarrhea: Drink sugar salt water

Diarrhea causes loss of appetite, energy loss and electrolyte imbalance due to low sodium and potassium levels. To replenish sodium and potassium, drink 500 ml of warm water mixed with 1.75 grams of salt and 10 grams of glucose powder.

Note, drinking salt water only applies to mild diarrhea. If you have severe diarrhea, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

Facial Beauty: Facial Massage with Salt
