Soo, we all enjoy salt in our food, right? What is a good steak without the appropriate amount of salt? What is a delicious green mango without salt? I can keep on going and not finish today; but I am here this morning to tell you that there is more to salt than seasoning.
-My father in law used boiled water with salt to relieve his sinuses.
-Salt is good to get rid of slugs (it kills them!). Don't try it on snakes though; it does not work; I tried it after using oil and bleach; the only thing that worked was a pot of boiling water... it was a small snake.
-When I was little we used to put the lettuce in salt water to make sure parasites would get off the leaves. I never had amoebas, but it could have been good fortune and good selection of veggies...
-Cooking chicken or fish in the oven over a bed of salt (nothing else) enhances the natural flavor of the meat. A friend from Paraguay gave me the secret. Just make sure you don't over do it with the amount of salt you use.
-Soaking your feet in warm water with a tablespoon of salt will relax your feet.
-And, something I was told to do recently... salt is great to wash your stainless steel pans when you burn the food in them - which is something I do very often!
Soak your burned pan or pot for a while, remove the water, add soap dish and a teaspoon of salt. Rub with the sponge and voilá! The pan is clean and shiny.
As with Aloe, I am sure I will be back with more. Don't go too far...
