Actually, Grace, Fledgling is a she.
I'm aware that I am taking this subject down a different path than you, and I have no desire to contradict you in any way.
It's just that a penny dropped when I read Daisy4's review of the book 'Water and Salt'. Her post is Recommended in the Salt forum.
It seems to me that we are absorbing stuff all the time...at the same time as we are shedding substances.
Water, salt, and minerals, as well as the wastes of burning energy, and the excesses we take in, are all in constant motion through the human body.
One site devoted to the distribution of Himalayan crystal salt, attempts to discuss osmosis and fails miserably. She didn't understand that there must be a pinhole between the waters in both sinks.
It took me a while to digest that fact when I was told about it thirty-five years ago.
It wasn't until a few days ago that I understood the significance of a bath, as opposed to swallowing salt, or, to placing some under the tongue.
In a bath, minerals are PULLED into a body that is short on them, and, apparently, water is PULLED inward when needed to dilute a too salty (too toxic?) liquid around AROUND the cells...water, as usual, seeking to equalize its content, as it does.
I suppose that a salt bath is something like painting some appropriately formulated Iodine solution on the skin...if it is needed, it is absorbed.
One healthcare practitioner has said to me that, if a person does not wash off the toxins expelled through the skin, they will be reabsorbed. Is that true? Or, is there a 'selection' process going on?
Does the body remedy a situation of edema, simply by having 'enough', but not too much, 'good' salt?
I read a list of 'symptoms' of both too much and too little salt (or, perhaps, the wrong kind).
I don't remember the lists, except that too little (good?) salt caused the person to urinate frequently...a huge problem in N. America, today.
And, that too much causes the person difficulty in urinating.
Too, Daisy4's article points out that the kidneys can only eliminate so much volume of salt per day. So comes the question...can the skin eliminate more, by osmosis, than the kidneys? Or, can the skin absorb salt better than the digestive system?
We enjoy a swim in the ocean...and don't feel anything but refreshed afterward.
I suppose, if no one has tried the good salt bath, and will report to us, there is nothing for it but to read the book, 'Water and Salt', and to try it.
Has anyone read 'The Body's Many Cries for Water'? Is the salt bath written about in there? Or, taking salt by mouth?
To me, this is a central question. I don't even care if I understand the answers...all I need to see is what works.
