What is the difference between salt, which we are used to in everyday life, and sea salt, reviews about which shout about the miracles of this product? In fact, one product and the other consist of sodium chloride. However, it is more in edible salt, and in sea salt it is only an integral part of the product.
Let's recall the chemistry school curriculum. Remember, there was such a table of the chemical elements of Mendeleev? Well, so much of what is there is in sea salt. Sodium and potassium, calcium and magnesium, bromine and chlorine, zinc and iron, selenium and iodine and much more. According to the constituent elements of sea salt, this periodic system can be studied. And everything is necessary for our poor worn-out organism, and it needs this whole table.
Of course, some buy vitamin complexes, which advises us on television and radio. This is very good, only all these complexes are synthetic, that is, they are made in the laboratory, and mother nature herself invented sea salt. And she usually does not do bad.

In pharmacies, many drugs containing iodine. Please eat - I do not want. Why add salt everywhere else?

Beautiful jar of salt
Often in cosmetics stores you can see beautiful vessels with sea salt of different colors. Colors are usually cheerful: blue, red, yellow. Such sea salt is used for nails, for example, but no more, since different colors are dyes. There is no benefit from them, only problems. They will color your bath, and then you will work for a long time to restore its whiteness. It is better to buy brown, gray salt. This is the natural color of such a product, what is obtained by evaporating sea water. Her color is unattractive, to say the least. Salt gets it from sea clay. So, the product is “scarier” in color, the better. In the products of this variety are more useful trace elements. Do you want to become Aphrodite or a hero? Then a bath with sea salt is waiting for you.
The legs calm down, the nails do not break
If you do not have time for a bath, you can make at least baths with sea salt, for example, for legs. Do the solution according to the same recipe. As the reviews showed, fatigue is relieved, blood circulation is improving, the legs are updated. Foot baths will not only calm your feet, but also you.
Are you going to do a manicure? It’s time already, a long time ago you did not pay attention to the nails. Make a first bath for nails. How are you used to doing this? A little water and soap? Add sea salt and your nails will no longer be brittle. Such a flaw quite often torments people. Sea salt for nails is very useful: chemical elements will do the trick, and they will also get rid of the fungus, if, unfortunately, you have it. Do not neglect such a procedure. Baths can be done as much as your heart desires.
When the weather changes
Sea salt (reviews of many people prove this) is useful for joints of the legs and arms. If muscle fibers make themselves felt, then I want to smear them with something, if only my arms would not “twist”, and my legs could bend. This is especially felt when the weather changes. You can, of course, run to the pharmacy if you run to it. Give a ton of money for ointments and pills. And you can make compresses with sea salt. Judging by the numerous reviews, the second option is more preferable.
One likes dry compresses, you can burn the product if you want, but you can not warm it. Just grab a wide bandage and sprinkle salt. Then you need to wrap a sore joint on the leg or arm. Look like in such a compress, should feel better. Others make a compress with clay and salt. To do this, take the usual cosmetic clay, mix it with sea salt and spread on a bandage. Such a compress is applied to the joints and go with it for a while. No pills and expensive ointments. A natural marine product will help you.
Sea salt - a joy for the face and hair
Sea salt for the face is an excellent tool for improving its color, cleansing, removing toxins, etc. With it you can create your own skin toner, cream or mask. If, for example, you mix sea salt with honey and vegetable oil, we get a mask for dry and mature skin. And if you mix the product with baking soda and sour cream, we get a scrub mask from black dots. That is, all types of skin come in handy with sea salt. For a person with acne, salt lotions are suitable. In a glass of water, dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt, soak a cotton pad with this solution and apply for half an hour to problem areas of your skin.
Should I do something with my hair, is it somehow dull and hang like a tow? Your old friend will come to the rescue - sea salt. For hair (reviews of many ladies confirm this) a mask with sea salt is very effective. It is done so that the hair grows well, combed without problems and are obedient.
You already have the usual balms or hair masks, just add sea salt to them and use as you are used to. Nothing complicated. You can just take the product and rub into the scalp. Blood will flow to the skin and bring it its nutrients, hair roots will rejoice.
If you still have kefir in the refrigerator, then you can use it as a mask. Did you want to drink it in the evening with a bun? No buns. The figure will then not thank you, but the hair will be thanked. And if you add literally 1 teaspoon to yogurt, you’ll get even better. Spread over hair and rub into scalp. You can add a few drops of oils that you like, such as lavender, mint, almonds. Almond oil can be rubbed into the scalp just like a mask, or you can add salt, which will give a greater effect.
The rules are general, as with all masks. Wet hair, smeared, put on a bag or hat, after 20 minutes washed off with shampoo. That’s it, now you are Aphrodite, well, or one of the hero brothers. The only caveat: if you have scratches on your scalp or any allergic manifestations, then salt cannot be used, otherwise Baba Yaga will work out of Aphrodite. And yet, the principle "the more often the better" does not apply here. Maximum 2 times a week: 3 months make masks, 3 months - a break.
To not tickle the nose
Does it tickle your nose? Congratulations - it's a runny nose. You have a cold. What is there from a cold? Eh, I had to listen to advertising, now walk with a red nose . You must run to the pharmacy, not just for any gels, sprays and ointments, but for salt. It is inexpensive and is perfect for rinsing the nose for both you and the rest of the family, even the smallest. Caution: the products must not contain impurities, dyes or flavors. Just sea salt. Also run into the store for a lemon, it will also be needed.
Now we are preparing the magic potion. We take 1 cup of warm water, pour a pinch of salt into it and drip a few drops of lemon juice. Mix everything, but do not shake. You got a drop from a runny nose. Feel free to drip 2-3 drops in each nostril into your nose and small nose. Salt will relieve inflammation, swelling, and lemon will narrow the vessels, making breathing easier.
You can dilute this solution with a little water for the baby. It should be slightly salty and slightly acidic. Some people think that you can just do with a lemon, just drip with water, supposedly, you can rinse - and that’s all. Probably, everyone bathed and dived in the river, and water falling into the nose caused not very pleasant sensations. Salt will not only remove your edema, but also soften the liquid. Sea salt for the nose is a harmless and effective remedy.
This nose potion is not only instilled into the nose, but also washed. A few drops of eucalyptus oil can be added to the solution. The procedure is more suitable for adults, but for children, as a last resort, sea salt is also suitable. To rinse the nose, you must perform the following steps: we type in the palm of your hand a little solution and draw it through the nose. All that is in the nose enters the mouth, and this must be spit out. Repeat these retracts several times.
Another way to rinse is for professionals. It is necessary to put a solution in the palm of your hand, draw it in with your nose, but try to hold it there. Several such breaths should be taken. After each, sea salt in the mouth should be spit out.
Children are unlikely to be able to wash their nose in this way, so we take a pipette and draw a solution into it. We put the child on the sofa, put a toy near his head and ask him to look at it. It turns out that the child will lie with his chin up. Quickly pour the contents of the pipette while the baby is lying. Let the child lie down for a minute, and the salt will work with the mucous membrane and relieve swelling. Then you need to ask to spit everything out, and not to swallow.
A dry, but hot compress is made from salt. To do this, heat the salt, roll it in gauze and put a compress on your nose. Some warming up at home. Sea salt for the nose is an excellent remedy for pregnant pregnant women, because you can’t use extra medicines, but here everything is natural.
If a sore throat
If you still get sick, and you have a sore throat, do not wait until a strong cough begins. Take sea salt. You only need 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 cup of hot water. Stir, cool and rinse. Half a glass at a time. If you do this four times a day, then the throat will pass.
Have you noticed that you are getting sick? Anything happens, there is always not enough time for ourselves. They waved a hand at a sore throat and a runny nose. You have a cough, inhalation with sea salt is right for you. Again, we go for help to our solution, only we make it a little weaker: 1 tablespoon of salt in 2 cups of water. We heat the solution so that the steam goes, grab the dishes from the stove - and under the blanket. Breathe until the steam runs out. If you have an inhaler, it is best to use it. The cough will soften and you will cough. It is better to do this procedure in the evening, then to crawl under the blanket.
Help for the smallest
For a child, there is another way of inhalation. And, as reviews show, it is quite effective. You need to take a large cup, make a solution with sea salt, warm it. You have already poured warm water into the basin and threw a toy there, with which you can play in the water. Then carefully, gradually, pour the saline solution so that the baby and the hands soar, and breathe with the steam and salt. The water in the basin cools, you still add a hot solution. So the baby will play and breathe. Then tales, songs - and to bed.
From this article it is already clear that the assistant in the treatment of even children is sea salt. It is very difficult to rinse the nose for small children, and sometimes this procedure is prohibited by the doctor, so you can make a dry hot compress for the baby. As everyone knows, children cannot lie for long, they need to jump and jump, they do not feel the disease. It is necessary to sew on the baby's blouse, on the back, a pocket with a valve. Heat sea salt, wrap in gauze and put in a pocket. Fasten the valve so that the gauze does not fall out. The kid is playing, and the sea salt is working.
Foot baths will also be useful! They will calm the child and through heels will remove toxins from the body. Baths can be started from 1.5 years. 10-15 minutes will not only help to defeat the common cold, but also strengthen the immune system.
