How many ways can you use salt? According to the Salt Institute, about 14,000! The salt website has tons of handy tips for using salt around the house, and the best of the bunch -- plus my additions -- are listed below.
I can't think of another more versatile mineral. Salt is the most common and readily available nonmetallic mineral in the world. In fact, the supply of salt is inexhaustible.
For thousands of years, salt (sodium chloride) has been used to preserve food and for cleaning, and people have continued to rely on it for all kinds of nifty tricks.
So with its nontoxic friendliness and status as an endlessly abundant resource, let's swap out some toxic solutions for ample, innocuous, and inexpensive salt.

In an emergency, as long as you have plenty of water, then salt can be used for constipation.

“Salt is the most common and readily available nonmetallic mineral in the world.”
Huh?
Not even close.
I don’t know what the rest of the article was saying because the kindergarten trained writers and editors got something so obviously wrong.
The non metallic part caught my eye.
A good friend went with salt vs. chlorine.
Now his Golden Retreiver swims and drinks pool water.
Then drinks copious fresh water to compensate.
Then later pees uncontrollably in the house.
I'm not trying to diminish the advantage of this treatment system, just a warning to pool/dog owners.

Sorry, your spelling is off a bit. While a fair attempt at humor if falls a bit flat:)
Cut some raw steak into 1" x 1" x whatever length strips. Spray them down good with white wine vinegar. Roll in coarse salt, then in black pepper, then in ground coriander. Put into the fridge overnight.
Then, the next day, put a string across some air-conditioned room in your home, high up so the pets don't get your biltong. Bend paper clips into S-hooks, and hook the meat on the string (you may need knots in the string so it doesn't slide around). Wait a couple of weeks. When the meat is brittle enough to break, it's ready. Wipe the coating off, and put the meat in a tight-lidded container or ziplock bag.
It's kind of a dry pickling method, but biltong can be eaten by itself, cold, or be used in a stew.
You got that right! Finally got one this year...the water is crystal clear, much easier/cheaper maintenance. The salt content is about 1/6th that of the ocean, and the water ‘feels’ better! Love it!
Well... don't look back.
Yep. A few years ago a local radio station had a contest to see who could drink the most water. One woman died from drinking too much water. Her family just won a lawsuit against the station earlier this year.
Jack, is that you?
I think the most common use of salt is it’s use for rubbing into wounds (other peoples’ wounds, that is).
Never look back.
Bleach....interesting.
Killing leeches
The nuns at my grade school warned us about goiter. A line of salt around the perimeter of your home will keep evil spirits away..... just saying.
