Salt Uses

When I was little  girl my mother had a folk home  remedy for Bruises; She mixed salt and butter and applied to the bump to reduced the swelling and worked magically; Salt and butter taste made you automatically forget about the pain 

Another home remedy that she used  often was the sore throat gargle;one tablespoon in a cup of water plus she also added vinegar to make the heal faster. Gargle 3 times a day until your throat is back to normal, usually in two days.
