Salt is not the culprit. The way many take salt is the culprit ( as in chips and stuff). I have reason to believe that the salt-water would help. I take salt-water baths once in a while, and I find it very refreshing. Use cool or luke-warm water and not HOT water ( this will defeat the purpose ). The idea is to remove excess internal heat which causes fatigue. > connection > with high blood pressure and salt? I do not eat High blood pressure is caused by slower than normal blood movement. There is some salt in blood. Excess salt in the body causes water retention ( as saltier the water, the longer it takes to perspire and evaporate). If you do not sweat and if you do not take adequate water that you dont urinate as often, chances are the salt is not getting out of your system. Both high BP and excess salt in the system can be safely dealt with by increasing the water intake. > processed foods or meat and never use salt....from Low salt intake could also be a problem. In my case, I realized I was a little low on salt a few months ago. Whenever I did some strenuous activity such as hiking or biking, I had problems of a running nose. This is because the intense activity builds up internal heat, which causes mucus formation. If there is a little more salt to contain this internal heat build up, the mucus secretion is contained as the salt absorbs the excess heat build up. Drinking more water makes sure that the salt is circulated all throughout the body and finally passes off in the urine. So, I do drink a glass of water with a pinch of salt before doing a strenuous activity and it works better. In your case, I suggest that you first try taking the salt-water baths ( this is simple, easy and very safe ) and see how you feel about it? > what source does drinking the salt water come from? Try this experiment at home. Take an ice cube, and sprinkle salt on one portion of it. You will find that that portion immediately melts. This is because the salt absorbs the latent heat in the ice ( yes, ice still has some heat in it ) and uses this heat to melt the portion of ice that is salted. gayathri > HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 Check out the book Water-the ultimate cure for a simple discussion of how sodium/salt is used by the body, to what extent, when it is effectively used, and when it gets harmful. Salt, BTW, is sodium chloride. gayathri HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Will the salt bath help with hot flashes with someone who has high blood pressure already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 > you please tell how > salty water should be, I guess to taste- slightly > salty, moderate, About a handful of salt in a bucket of water. The water should taste quite salty. Leave it on for 5 minutes, and rinse the body with plain water. For hypertension, drink lots of water and do some moderate stretching exercises. Check out the book "Water--the ultimate cure" by Steve Meyerowitz. Also, the book " Your body's many cries for water". gayathri Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 > Will the salt bath help with hot flashes with > someone who has high blood > pressure already? Yes, people with hot flashes can take salt water bath. Also, people with high BP. As bath is external, it should cool down the body externally and gradually. Take my word, try salt-water bath and let me know how you feel. You will never know, unless you try it out. For people with hot flashes and high BP, I do strongly suggest that they increase their water intake to about 3-4 litres per day. Moderate stretching exercises will also significantly help in lowering these conditions. BTW, I saw the book "HIgh Blood Pressure for Dummies". It has good information. gayathri Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
