Salt can be used for medicinal purposes and also helps to dispel wind and cold!

Using Salt for Healing and Dispelling Wind-Cold! Enthusiastic Netizen (Aixinjuele 563437705): Hello, Teacher Hu! Your kind deeds have deeply moved me, and I have shared several of your folk remedies. Now, I would like to contribute one of my own. Remedy for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Heat one pound of salt until it is hot, then place it in a cloth bag and move it back and forth over the painful area. The heated salt helps to expel cold-dampness, wind, and cold, which in turn promotes circulation and alleviates pain. If the salt cools down, add some aged vinegar, reheat it, and apply it again. Do this twice a day, especially before bedtime, and the condition should improve within five days. This method can be used to treat soft joints in the feet, knees, shoulders, wrists, fingers, and other areas. Originally, this remedy included mashed raw Aconite root mixed with salt, steamed, and applied to the affected area. However, since raw Aconite is highly toxic, it is omitted here. I hope this helps those in need! Contributor: Teacher Jin
