I increased my intake of salt after finding a sodium deficiency several years ago. I also was attempted to address my body's ability to retain water (thinking the lip cells weren't retain it). At a certain point I realized I should really limit my intake to Sea Salt due to refined salt's acidity, and the apparent negative effect of acidity on my lips.
Maybe in a couple years I'll go take a bath in the Dead Sea and try to let go of all my stored-up grief.
