From Tibetan Medicine regarding 'salt"

" The salty taste makes the body hard and erect. It assists in the evacuation of stools blocked by the wind and clears clogged channels. By applying warm salts in a cloth to the skin, perspiration is extracted from the body. It creates salt and appetitte in the body.

Taken in excess, the salty taste creates loss of hair, a gray hair,and wrinkles. In excess it reduces the energy of the body, produces a thirst imbalance, (polydypsia or thirst illness), hives and leprosy (warts and leprosy are called "tze"). Excess salt causes illness of the bile and blood" Tweet
