Sea salt is the world's oldest Antibiotic known to man. Somewhere along the way, history books have forgotten this great medicine that bacteria and viruses offered absolutely no resistance to it whatsoever. It is the simplest medicine I have ever known. For those people who want an even more powerful medicine, just add one whole lemon juice to Sea Salt and its Antibiotic and antiviral capabilities is extended many times. For me in practice, just Sea Salt works wonders. No you don't need Himalyan Sea Salt , or Dead sea salt, for me local Thai sea salt works amazingly well anyway. Of course, I did not get a chance to try other sea salt, but I am certain thai sea salt works better than any Antibiotics I am aware of, well at least for common ailments we experience everyday.
