Lifestyle Choices

Go to the seaside to bury yourself under the sand and gather salt. Salt is necessary for the balance, in volume and osmotic pressure, of the extracellular fluids. Everyone must have his daily dose of it. In therapeutic treatment, by strengthening the action of other elements, unrefined sea salt combats a number of deficiencies that cause humoral, glandular, and nervous imbalances.

The natural magnesium contained in sea salt is a precious remedy. Iodine in its natural state acts favorably on the thyroid gland. Bromine soothes the serves without weakening the nervous system. Salt, intermediate between earth and sea water, also contains traces of catalytic elements, such as gold, copper, nickel, and cobalt, as well as particles of clay. It goes very well with treatment by clay. Like clay, it attracts and absorbs sickness and is a pole that attracts substances with negative radiation.

Its healing and antiseptic properties have long been used in washing wounds. Gargling with salt water soothes a sore throat, and a salt water mouthwash is an excellent remedy. A tablespoonful of sea salt in a large glass of unboiled water relieves toothache and inflammation of the oral mucous membranes. To invigorate yourself, take a twenty-minute bath in salt water (about two pounds of salt in a tub of hot water) once a week. Washing in cool salt water and soaking your feet in hot salt water will reinvigorate your whole body. If you have varicose veins in your legs, soak your hands instead of your feet.

Since the action of salt strengthens that of clay, it is good to make clay paste with salt water. A boil or abscess can be treated with unrefined salt. Put two tablespoonfuls of sea salt in a container (not made of aluminum) and add enough water to dissolve it. Heat while stirring with a wooden spoon. Add powdered clay until the mixture has the consistency of an ointment. Enclose it in a piece of cloth, apply it to the boil or abscess in the morning, and change it at night. When pus appears, stop using salt during the day and replace it with cold clay poultices.

In your garden, the sodium chloride in sea salt will balance the addition of potash to cultivated soil, and the magnesium in it will slightly reduce the harmfulness of chemical fertilizers.

 

Other Mineral Salts

Sea salt is not the only mineral salt found in nature. Soil, water, vegetables, fruit, and all plants contain various salts, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and silica. Let us recall that when vegetables are boiled, half of their mineral salts passes into the water. Each mineral salt has a specific action that is precisely known. When they are taken in food, no excess is possible because they are present in small amounts.

Treatment by biochemical salts is possible, but it is important to know that overly large doses of them are harmful because they are not entirely eliminated; they become fixed and may cause an actual sclerosis of tissues. Assimilation is thus necessary, and it is best to make use of homeopathic dilution.* The biochemical salts sold in pharmacies are often in that form and are prepared as either powders or little pellets whose mineral elements have been diluted to the third centesimal (3C).** One can make use of twelve biochemical salts prepared in this way:

Calcarea phosphorica Calcarea sulfurica

Calcarea fluorica

Ferrum phosphoricum Kali muriaticum

Kali phosphoricum

Kali sulfuricum

Magnesia phosphorica Natrum muriaticum Natrum phosphoricum Natrum sulfuricum Silicea

To take a salt in the form of a powder, stir about a quarter of a gram in a glass of water and swallow a mouthful every half hour, after making sure that the whole inside of your mouth is in contact with it. Several salts can be used at once; put a measure of each of them into a glass of water and drink it in the course of a day. For a salt in pellets, take three of them and let them melt in your mouth as slowly as possible. As with any homeopathic remedy, you must avoid drinking coffee, tea, or infusions of mint or camomile. A light diet is also advisable during the course of treatment, which should not last longer than about two weeks.

Let us now examine some of the properties of the twelve salts listed above.

• Calcarea phosphorica.

Excellent for the bones. Rickets, fractures that are slow to knit, bad or late-growing teeth. Some forms of rheumatism are helped by this tonic salt.

• Calcarea sulfurica.

A specific for sup-purations of all kinds: bronchial, nasal, inflammatory, etc.

• Calcarea fluorica.

Helps to restore bones, ligaments, glands, and blood vessels.

• Ferrum phosphoricum.

A very effective fever remedy when taken in high homeopathic dilution (9C). Used in a longer course of treatment, it helps the body to combat anemia and all kinds of inflammation. Iron, which is one of the main components of blood, has the ability to attract oxygen, hence its great usefulness in cell life and blood exchanges at the level of tissues.

• Kali muriaticum.

Effective against whitish mucus, apthae, dysentery, sinusitis, colds, and all other diseases of the nose, throat, and ears.

• Kali phosphoricum.

A constituent part of the brain, nerves, muscle cells, and red corpuscles, potassium phosphate is essentially recommended for nervous depression and insomnia, neurasthenia, incontinence of urine, and diarrhea.

• Kali sulfuricum.

Soothes all eruptions of the epidermis and chronic inflammations of mucous membranes. It can therefore be used to treat eczema and all kinds of skin disease, and also various forms of nasopharyngitis, colds, obstructed ears, and phlegmy coughs.

• Magnesia phosphorica.

An integral part of muscles and nerves, this salt can be used to treat cramps, convulsions, acute neuralgia, asthma, and chronic bronchitis.

• Natrum muriaticum.

A regulator of the liquid contents of the body, this salt is essential in treating growth and heart disorders. It is also good for fever, headache, hives, hay fever, and diabetes.

• Natrum phosphoricum.

Combats acidity, and so can be used for treating colic, rheumatism, gout, aerophagia, angina, and diabetes, since it reduces an overabundance of sugar.

• Natrum sulfuricum.

Also influences the liquid contents of the body, and facilitates eliminating any excesses of the organs. It is therefore a specific for calculi and diseases ofthe liver and bile ducts. It also improves rheumatism, malaria, and nasopharyngitis.

• Silicea.

Silica is found in connective tissue: hair, nails, skin. This salt hastens the end of suppuration by bringing abscesses and ulcerations to a head. It revitalizes brittle hair and nails and can be used for treating warts, bronchitis, and chronic rheumatism and asthma.

Mineral salts, basic components of our body and of nature, are essential to psychosomatic equilibrium. They are normally provided by a wholesome diet and a healthy life. But the loss of energy caused by pollution and a hectic life may periodically require brief courses of restorative treatment with mineral salts. When one is ill, they help the body to reestablish its natural functions.

Salts of the earth, salts of life.
